PHP Was Never Written In Perl

Leave a comment

Morons keep assuming that PHP was written in Perl. Wikipedia is spreading this false notion. Wikipedians take words of Rasmus Lerdorf less reliable. It is visible on Wikipedia page history that many tried to correct this mistake but its bureaucratic approach had undone all that.

Even the creator of PHP Rasmus Lerdorf  himself says that PHP was never witten in Perl and real world doesn’t require any other source not even Wikipedia to confirm the truth. Simply learn PHP and it is not Perl. Actually Wikipedia was using the Wiki written in Pearl before Magnus Manske actually recreated Wikipedia in PHP. That very stuff is named by Wiki Media Foundation  as MediaWiki.

Know what PHP is: PHP is one of the most popular and widely used server side scripting language which used for creating dynamic webcontent and applications that interact with the user offering customized information. PHP originally stood for Personal Home Pages but somewhere the acronym get changed to Hypertext Pre-processor.

PHP has given new dimensions to the lives of Jimmy Wales, Mark Zuckerberg and many others. Where Jimmy Wales started from Bomis.Com providing free to premium access of users to X-rated content. Later-on he gained huge amount of credibility after founding Wikipedia. And Mark Zuckerberg, who had almost no friends created Facebook which is now the largest social networking system.

Wikipedia and Facebook are different frameworks but they both run on PHP. WordPress is also PHP programmed most popular blogging platform. So better don’t take any wrong idea about this dominant web-technology. PHP was never written in Perl and in this regard Wikipedia is less reliable than Rasmus Lerdorf.

Virtual Shopping Stores In Korea Combine Drawbacks Of Online Shopping With Brick And Mortar Stores

Leave a comment

Korean Virtual Shopping Stores, where all the Shelves are just LCD Screens. You choose your items by touching the LCD and get everything packed at the counter when you finish shopping.

Although you can easily shop from home and it is a much better option already available. These virtual shopping stores use the same thing that you use while shopping from home i.e., smartphones, cards and codes and this proves that these stores are using an idiotic concept which wastes more resources including heavy waste of electricity and creates more complex jobs and you cannot say it a Virtual Shopping Store as it combines the drawbacks of online shopping with brick and mortar stores.

The only advantage of this is that it makes the store prone to shoplifting. But, looking into consumer’s side, it has big disadvatage, since you can’t touch nor smell the real product (unless you’ll go there with all the things you needed to buy already in your mind).

This system is not made to help customers. Yes, and that was a big mistakes. They must take into consideration if it really help the consumers since we are the end users here.

__Lliorka Bomberouge

If its virtual, why would you still make people walk around to find things(besides to buy more things)?

__Corban Anderson

How do you sell food through the LCD? How do I know I won’t get anything rotten?

Russia adopted a law to shut web sites…

Quote Leave a comment

Russia adopted a law to shut web sites if they are “harmful to children“.

I think the site does not get a trial before it is shut. Of course, they won’t shut the web sites that do harm large numbers of children, by selling them toys and candy. But they might stretch this to shut political web sites. This is not as bad as SOPA, which was rejected in the US, but it is still unacceptable. Richard Matthew Stallman

French Supreme Court May Order Google To Censor Few Terms

Leave a comment

Google suffered setback in its case against SNEP the music industry group. French Supreme Court ruled that Google may be asked for censoring search terms like ‘Torrent’, ‘RapidShare’ and ‘Megaupload’ from its Instant and Auto-complete services. Court argued that Google indirectly facilitates copyright infringement by not filtering these terms.

This new attempt from another court wouldn’t get rid of pirate sites. Pirate sites would just change their addresses in order to continue sharing activities.
