I am a believer in mystic sciencies / arts (which I believe astrology is)..But That is positively hilarious :)) It can be very frustrating..especially when it starts intruding into your life and establishes control over all your actions.

I think I got this sent on some random devel list as well.

Pretty interesting concept actually, Will rather tickle not just your ribs but your thoughts as well.. I think I can almost relate innately to this :-)

And yeah, I think that'll only create a new process and not a new thread. But a pretty novel idea nonetheless..Not really worth being WTFed about at all. What are worth a WTF afterall are actually some of the comments there. BTW, One of those regarding command line PHP is hilarious :))

24 Months and more of trauma and there's been only this single consolation all through..Life now forks out. The 4L headache is done or so it seems..God be praised..But all it invokes is a "ayyoo..sumne anyaya". Coming to her..She's been the only lease of life, Apart from the computer thats kept me alive all this long..But not really ideal is she...I've other soulmates I can xmlrpc to too...Life evens out..after all.

It's time somebody did that..especially in the wake of some hyper fanatic cleric of the Tipu Sultan Shahi mosque, Kolkata issuing a death fatwa against Taslima Nasreen. The edicts have become all too normal these days..I remember one against Sania Mirza ! I fancy imagining Sania playing in an opaque Burkha! Fatwas get issues for each and every goddamnn thing. I fail to see how people who issue these things get away with it..Not only is this a perspicacious defiance of the laws of the country, bigotry towards the land..but also a criminal offence.. I cant imagine a Hindu Priest for instance, issue a death edict against an arbitrary person and getting away with it... Why should a mullah get away with it ? Such double standards.. I'd really want that cleric caught and Jailed a couple of years..That should teach some others to shut the fuck up.
