While I agree that PHP has a disorganized set of public functions - the basic class system is quite sane from PHP 5 onwards.
I have to agree with Anthony Ferrara on this one.
PHP is the easiest language to set up with a (*nix) web server. That alone adds a lot of value. In comparison, setting up Ruby or Python is rather scary.
PHP isn't the problem, bad programmers are the problem.
Besides, have you looked at makefile syntax?

The PHP Singularity
Look at this incredible thing Ian Baker created. Look at it! What you're seeing is not Photoshopped. This is an actual photo of a real world, honest to God double-clawed hammer. Such a thing exists. Isn't that amazing? And also, perhaps, a little disturbing? That wondrous hammer is a de...
Now maybe I just don't tend to like the feel of headphones, but is there really any advantage of a pair of headphones over a good set of speakers?

Who Needs a Sound Card, Anyway?
The last sound card I purchased was in 2006, and that's only because I'm (occasionally) a bleeding edge PC gamer. The very same card was still in my current PC until a few days ago. It's perhaps too generous to describe PC sound hardware as stagnant; it's borderline irrelevant. The default, bu...
After just upgrading my storage space, after a recent memory upgrade, I generally find storage speed to be the limiting factor more than the amount of memory. 8GB is more than enough for me, and anyway, I'm sticking with AMD.
Now if only I could replace this work iMac with something that can have more than 4GB of Ram...

24 Gigabytes of Memory Ought to be Enough for Anybody
Are you familiar with this quote? 640K [of computer memory] ought to be enough for anybody. — Bill Gates It's amusing, but Bill Gates never actually said that: I've said some stupid things and some wrong things, but not that. No one involved in computers would ever say that a certain amou...
I expected the usual ergonomic complainers, but sometimes the switch makes all the difference in ergonomics. You have to use one before you know what a difference it makes.
I hate typing on laptops anymore just because of the difference of mechanical switches versus the scissor-switch rubber domes used on laptops.

The Keyboard Cult
As a guy who spends most of his day typing words on a screen, it's hard for me to take touch computing seriously. I love my iPhone 4, and smartphones are the ultimate utility belt item, but attempting to compose any kind of text on the thing is absolutely crippling. It is a reasonable compromis...
