This just in. US forces take over a major site engine named PHP, which provides dynamic content to millions of sites. The US government has taken over the completion by a US company known as Facebook to create a fork of an absolute secure and clean solution for major PHP driven websites, eager to make the conversion.

Wow....

I can actually see this majorly catching on if it's easy enough to use and stable.  Then again, I guess most sites don't need that extra speed lol.  Nifty though!

Looks interesting from a technical standpoint.  The name sucks, though.

Yeh, trust a facebook developer to create something great and kill it by trying to be cool when he hasn't got the first clue of what cool is.


I think it's ironic that these people develop a 'social network' that connects millions of people all over the world, yet lack completely in any form of social skills...

Who said programming wasn't cool? I'd rather crunch regular expressions than go out in an 'invited party' any day!

I dunno about that.  A regular expression has a 0% chance of touching my penis.

I rest my case...


P.S.
Where are the regular expressions?

It's too small to need 'em.
