She picked up the snake and took it in doors and placed it by the fire and gave it warm food and drink and saved the snake's life. The snake, after being revived, bit her. She proclaimed Why did you do that? I saved your life and now because you bit me, I'll die. The snake replied I don't understand your confusion, you knew I was a snake when you found me.

Leave poor Zouari alone! I for one think that Microsoft buying Zend would be the best thing to happen to PHP, EVAR! This Rasmus guy didn't even mean for PHP to be what it is, he just wanted something simple and now look at it. It's WAY to complex for an unorganized bunch of hobbyists to maintain. I'm personally looking forward to the way they'll clean things up. Who knows, maybe once they've got PHP under control we won't need these security 'experts' like Chris Shifflett any more because would be hackers won't be able to see the source code, which of course means they won't be able to find vulnerabilities. You guys just need to give up on this open source hippie dream and let Microsoft change things for the better - who cares if Stephen King thinks they are working in conjunction with the Crimson King and that they might build robots that will someday take over the world and more or less 'suck the s-m-r-t' out of 50% of the worlds twins?

This Rasmus guy didn't even mean for PHP to be what it is, he just wanted something simple and now look at it. It's WAY to complex for an unorganized bunch of hobbyists to maintain. I'm personally looking forward to the way they'll clean things up. Who knows, maybe once they've got PHP under control we won't need these security 'experts' like Chris Shifflett any more because would be hackers won't be able to see the source code, which of course means they won't be able to find vulnerabilities. You guys just need to give up on this open source hippie dream and let Microsoft change things for the better - who cares if Stephen King thinks they are working in conjunction with the Crimson King and that they might build robots that will someday take over the world and more or less 'suck the s-m-r-t' out of 50% of the worlds twins? He looks creepy anyway. - and a happy April fool's to all ;-) __ Troll, I warnest thee, BEGONE!!! -- \/ \ //\ \|\___/| / \// \\ /0 0 \__ /// | \ \ / / \/_/// | \ \ @_^_@'/ \/_ //| \ \ //_^_/ \/_ // |\\ ( //) |\/// | \ \ ( / /) _|_ / ) // | \ _\ ( // /) '/,_ _ _/ ( ; -.|_ _\.-~.-~~~^-.

Slashdot used to have one a year, and it was always something that was vaguely possible, this year they've even changed the colour scheme on the site. Shame really. Stut, I agree that some jokes are taken too far. I have just returned to work after a heart episode but it did not send me back to the hospital. I agree that the last thing Zend deserves is the mshaft, but let's take the joke for what it was... I'm in GMT -7 so I get the jokes a bit later. Sorry if I added to your grief.
