Even though i agree that it looks like a perl script is just "like rolling an armadillo over your keyboard," I feel like it is beautiful in the fact that someone who even has beginner programming skills cant read it at all. PHP is a very simple looking language, the structure makes sense, and even non-programmers can read it for the most part.
I have never learned perl because of its complexity and the fact that I can do anything i want to with perl with a php script.

Amen...I haven't got anything done in the last 3-4 days of toying with this distro and that...finally I settled on Ubuntu and now I'm trying to learn it's package management...Todd_Z wrote:It makes sense, when you start out using the 'nux as your primary desktop operating system, productivity is slowed, then gets faster and faster.panic! wrote:How can you be too busy to use your computerscottayy wrote: I'm usually too busy. =hahaha.
Once I learn *nix however, no dought my productivity will sky rocket...I love the flexibility and complete control over everything, but at the same time it's a PITA x 10

I read alot, so because of that I use a mouse, mostly my scroll wheel...Todd_Z wrote:Check out the hotkeys with ubuntu. They are so good in terms of speeding up random <span style='color:blue' title='I'm naughty, are you naughty?'>smurf</span>. I never touch my mouse.
Although I'm huge fan of custom hot keys
panic!
I think I'm starting to see how Ubuntu uses apt and it's native application installer, etc...seeing how they differe from RPM...
One thing I can't figure out though, is these damn dependancies...I mean I understand why...but...WTF...
For instance I want to drop accessibility features (Don't need em') and I can't because along with them go ubuntu-desktop
