Wisdom and Patience are such funny things

First patience: Sometimes patience dictates that you deal with something immediately, but sometimes it dictates that you wait.

Wisdom is such an intangible. You have to be wise to know that you're wise, but even fools think that they're wise.

Israel is still very much in danger

Via Faisal, I've discovered InstaPundit.

Glenn reports: "THE ISRAELIS have apparently foiled some WTC-type skyscraper bombing attacks."

Do the Palestinians know this? They must. Do they care? They must not.

From the article:

Foreign Minister Shimon Peres told Army Radio that the army's operation thwarted a grave terror attack in the last few days.

The Palestinians were planning to detonate powerful explosives beneath skyscrapers in the center of the country, according to the source.

That anyone can even partially defend the actions of the Palestinians after reading stuff like this astounds me. It'd be like saying "Osama really did have a point."

Ally McBeal

Heather Locklear was on Monday's Ally McBeal (which I finally got to watch last night). She's beautiful!

Only thing is, I realized why I stopped watching the show years ago. Last night's show was primarily about how a woman (Locklear) had two husbands, and how that's just a "lifestyle choice" and the law against bigamy is a "silly law". She actually got convicted (but no jail time), but the point is that the show's opinion was that bigamy is ok.

I'm just watching it again now because the series is ending in four episodes, and I want to see Christina Ricci... Smiley

Detecting Flash with Javascript

Trying to find the best way to detect Flash with JavaScript. If anyone has any references, please pass along.

Pike

Tiny but neat little article on Pike over at LinuxJournal:

Overall, Pike rivals other languages in ease-of-use for rapid application development. Although it is not as full featured as Python or Perl, it is full of useful aspects and has a relatively strong European user base.

Why haven't we heard more about Pike on this side of the pond? Perhaps Python has taken too firm a hold in the "other scripting language" niche, as PHP has in the web world. But if you like C++ and are looking for a fast way to OOP, you and Pike will get along swimmingly.

Superman (the movie) is great, but then he goes and turns back time... that's a little much.
