Been trying other searches, so far it's ended up being something like 66% Bing and 33% Google.
- Matthew Horton
I'm finding Yahoo & Google are giving the best results.
- Tanath
wow that's crazy, bing's actually giving me better results!
- Neil Skoglund
Bing gave me better results, but Google provides better alternatives when i misspell words.

I would cast my vote for google. However, Bing is a very good search also. I don't think it is that far behind google. Serious Competition.

Sometimes you just have to be awesome. Imagine, being a soccer player. Wandering around all day, kicking a ball to and fro, for no particular reason. Every so often, you fall down, again for no particular reason. You do this year after year. Then one day you decide, 'ya know what, this is boring'. And then a ball comes floating your way... what do you do...
- Will Higgins™
He is lucky it worked. Wouldnt have been real popular otherwise. What a team player!
- Matt G
I think he was playing for Columbia from memory and its real. I shouldnt trust my memory though from experience.
- Matt G
fake? no, that was a real, televised match.
- Cee Bee
Really? Did he do that on purpose or was he only lucky his foot deflected the ball? If I were the coach I'd chew out the guy for showboating where so much was on the line. Soccer is a very low-scoring game
- Andre P. Siregar
not a fake thats Rene Higuita possibly the best goalie Colombia ever had, definitely their best goalie of last 30 years. he was known for these types of antics which is why they called him 'el loco'. also one of the few goalies in history to actually score a goal. he was also known for coming out of his area and dominate attacking forwards and midfielders. he was nuts and lots fun to watch. later in his career he tested positive for cocaine.
- Carlos Ayala
Plus on the Video, it's amazing how far he returns this ball. Hardly a wimpy kick.
- Brent - Loving Life
Yep, this was during the World Championships wasn't it? The Columbians didn't reach the finals, I remember and the goalie was internationally blamed for it. But he made the games very attractive to watch.
- Ton Zijp
I watched this match. Note the whistle had already been blown so if he missed it and went in it wouldn't have counted but nevertheless it was a spectacular 'scorpion' kick. :-)

"if you've got your email/mailto: handler set up in Firefox (or Chrome, Opera, or any other browser, really), dashing off a new email to an address you've just copied or have to write out from scratch can be sped along by heading to the address bar and typing out mailto:someemailaddress@whatever.com. Want to speed that up even more? Create a keyword bookmark for the mailto: prefix, maybe something along the lines of em or just e. This won't save you much time if you've always got Outlook one click away, or only email your auto-completing contacts, but for occasional browser-to-email transitions, it's a good idea."

"One of the most striking things about my trip to Japan was how thin everyone was. I kept saying to my family, “There are no fat Japanese!” That’s not entirely true, of course. Aside from sumo wrestlers, there are some Japanese people who are fat — but at least in my two-week trip to Tokyo, they were pretty hard to find."

"A couple of Swedish parents have stirred up debate in the country by refusing to reveal whether their two-and-a-half-year-old child is a boy or a girl. Pop’s parents [see footnote], both 24, made a decision when their baby was born to keep Pop’s sex a secret. Aside from a select few – those who have changed the child’s diaper – nobody knows Pop’s gender; if anyone enquires, Pop’s parents simply say they don’t disclose this information. In an interview with newspaper Svenska Dagbladet in March, the parents were quoted saying their decision was rooted in the feminist philosophy that gender is a social construction. “We want Pop to grow up more freely and avoid being forced into a specific gender mould from the outset,” Pop’s mother said. “It's cruel to bring a child into the world with a blue or pink stamp on their forehead.” The child's parents said so long as they keep Pop’s gender a secret, he or she will be able to avoid preconceived notions of how people should be treated if male...

Hmmm...somehow I see Pop being a bit confused.
- Jenny Morman
I can't even imagine what ramifications this will have for Pop down the road. I'm all for breaking down gender-barriers, but it seems like this could end up making a much bigger deal out of them in the long run.
- Jennifer Dittrich
i don't think anyone can predict how this child is going to turn out. possibly good, possibly a bad thing, but there may very well be lots of confusion during the formative years
- Cee Bee
At some point, Pop'll want to know if he or she can have a baby or not....
- Stephen Mack
I hope the parents are saving for psychotherapy bills in those formative years.
- Anne Bouey
Anne: No need. Pop will be able to make enough money on the lecture circuit to pay for them.
- Kevin Fox
The least they could have done was given a gender neutral name - Chris, Pat, Terry...you get the idea
- Janet
@Stephen they're not hiding the gender from the child. they're hiding it from the world. the kid is basically free to choose. I don't necessarily see it as a bad thing.
- D. Eda Goze
Fascinating. I'm not too worried about Pop. It's interesting to try to raise a child gender-free. These are social constructions, many of which are ridiculous and irrelevant to a person's true self. I'd be pleased for much of that crap to fall by the wayside. The more interesting thing is how society responds to Pop. Maybe people really will relate to him/her as a person. How refreshing.
- Ayşe E.
I wonder what pronoun they use when referring to the child.
- Rochelle
Methinks this will last until pop goes to school and someone asks him/her whether s/he has an innie or an outie.
- tiffany
Agreed, tiffany. The sex (and thus likely gender category) will become known by school time. Pop will have to use one bathroom or another. Done and done.
- Ayşe E.
I wonder if Pop was born with both sets of reproductive organs. This way the parents will have fewer problems than if they tried to guess which gender their child relates to more.
- Maggie
i don't believe there's any indication that "pop" was born with both male and female organs. could be, but it just sounds like the parents' politics more than anything
- Cee Bee
Of course, he'll be treated like the child of weirdos, so I'm thinking this won't end well, or be an experiment of the sort they suggest.
- j1m
Parents should not experiment on their children.
- EricaJoy
It sounds really bad.The parents think they know what they are doing but they do not - how could they?

I love Drupal and Joomla, but it's too bad they're written in PHP... which is kind of an antique compared to newer stuff like Ruby on Rails... the next generation of cool CMS platforms will probably be running something like Rails, not PHP.
The language of choice is just a tool. What's important is the final result (even if it's in assembly ;)).
- Emil Kirichev
Wait, what? PHP is old now? Damn, languages are falling out of use quicker than I can learn 'em.
- Slappy Line
Is there a concrete benefit to why they'd be written in Rails and not PHP besides PHP is not as new or cool as Rails?
- Mark Trapp
actually PHP is a programing language but rails is a framework. framework can not be as powerful as a programing language. there are a few similar rails like framework for PHP such as cakephp and symfony
- امیرعباس
Probably only if you're really into object-oriented programming. Ruby was built from the ground-up to be object-oriented. PHP, like Perl, had it grafted on.

Too bad the works of Shakespeare are written in Early Modern English. So much potential for a re-write there.
- Micah Wittman
Yeah, because Drupal is like Shakespeare.
- Cristo
Exactly. And Joomla is like Christopher Marlowe.
- Micah Wittman
Hmmm... PHP is to Rails as Bacon is to Cow. PHP == Ruby == Python == Perl ==.... One problem I see with using a framework like Rails, Django, Symfony, Catalyst, etc, is that developers are constrained by the box presented by the framework. Get outside the box and *boom* you probably just forked the framework, and you might as well go fully custom anyway, which is where we started...

Zope and Plone -- built on Python -- have been around for years and have yet to catch on fire. The coolness of the underlying language has little bearing on the success of the product. (Which pains me, because I'm fond of Python. And Zope and Plone.)
- Fred Yankowski
Che, that was insightful. You might want to avoid using the word ignorance so easily.
- Cristo
I don't know, are frameworks really that constraining? What prevents you from using plain Ruby in your Rails app, or plain Perl in your Catalyst app? In terms of functionality, sure, the language shouldn't matter so long as it's Turing-complete. But you've got to admit, some languages are much uglier than others. But even this doesn't really matter unless you actually intend to modify the code.
- Victor Ganata
Cristo, thanks for advice.. I know what you mean. :)
- Che Hodgins
Ruby on Rails and PHP are completely different things. I perfer Joomla over Drupal but looking at current framework cms systems which there are some out there - ruby on rails is a framework incase you don't know ;) - then they suck in comparison to a programming language cms (php based etc) such as Joomla and Drupal.
- Nicholas James
Yahoo! runs on PHP for the most part. We would probably have to quadruple the amount of hardware we use if we moved to Rails because of the performance problems of Ruby.

Rails is new? My I thought interest in rails had peaked and was already fading.
- Henry Holtzman
I dare you to write a Drupal clone for Rails and get it to scale as well as it does on PHP :) I'm not saying that Rails isn't capable or not awesome in it's own right, but I believe that for massive sites (which Drupal/PHP handles quite well) Rails won't be as effective.
- Mo Kargas
I know a year ago Twitter was supposedly abandoning Rails precisely because of the scaling issues and planning to use a different language and framework. Did this end up happening?
- Victor Ganata
I agree the language isn't as important as the end result, look at Facebook chat powered with Erlang. Erlang really that's not a sexy language, but it made a sexy app.

having been trained in OOP using Java, PHP seems quite comfortable to me! but i agree that the language is less important than what is built with it, so whatever people prefer to code in, they should be encouraged :)
- Mike Chelen
Are Rails programing primitives really as durable and scalable as PHP has proven to be?
- James Watters
The thing I hate about Drupal is the way that the PHP templates intermingle code and presentation. I'd really like to see a CMS built in Grails (I'm a Java programmer) that has a really clean MVC separation.
- Peter Kelley
Peter, since you mentioned Grails, you may be interested in this podcast: http://www.webdevradio.com/ - Grails gets a lot of air time there. Cheers!
- Micah Wittman
Reimplementing the exact functionality of an existing CMS just to write it in another language does seem kind of a waste, although I guess it would be a great way to learn a new language. Does Rails still not scale well despite swallowing up Merb?
- Victor Ganata
Wow, there's a lot of misinformation in this thread on all sides... suffice to say you should evaluate your options thoroughly and choose the language that lets you be most productive. With the hardware available today most projects will never hit scaling barriers on the web side. Pay a LOT of attention to the database software and design though, because that's where the bottlenecks will come from.

"If you were to measure the popularity of your website content on Twitter, the most effective way would be that you count the number of tweets (and re-tweets) that are linking to your web pages. For instance, I can go to backtweets.com and it will instantly show me a list of twitter messages (and their total count) that mention any of my blog articles. The web interface of backtweets is pretty awesome for tracking popularity of web pages on Twitter one-by-one but imagine if you could use the same service to measure popularity of dozens of web pages or even your entire site in one go? Well, here’s a Google Docs spreadsheet [*] that does exactly the same thing. It consists of two sheets - one for tracking RSS feeds and other for tracking multiple URLs."
