why are friends friends?

because at a certain point people whose list of priorities intersect meet and having similar interests share everything. hence these are called friends.
to break this friendship, all one has to do is introduce a priority that overshadows the others in any one of the persons involved. Sometimes more priorities need to be added.

however in some rarest of rare cases, the friendship itself becomes a priority. in this case, a priority needs to be introduced which has directly strongly opposing opinions from both parties. this would cause the priority list to change dramatically, hence causing a rift between the 2 participating entities.

In the right direction, perhaps ?

i've been toying around with a PHP framework called symfony . actually i wanted to know what MVC ( Model-View-Controller ) was, and i am really comfortable with PHP, so downloaded a copy and made a sandbox on my xampp htdocs directory. after i started playing around it just hit me that how much programming has simplified over the 12 years since i wrote my "hello world" program in c. where 150 people were needed to code a simple website back then, that too in about a year, now things can be done with just one or two programmers in about a fortnight. i think thats awesome. computers are finally doing what they were invented to do - to reduce human work. one really interesting thing is the askeet tutorial. here they guide you through making a replica of their site over 24 days, with each tutorial taking not more than one and a half hours to completely understand and implement. Also the symfony site itself is created on symfony, and that's really cool. ok, what hit me

a keeper from kiterunner

today was watching kiterunner. awesome movie. it was this dialog that hit me hard - "Now, no matter what the mullah teaches, there is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft... When you kill a man, you steal a life. You steal his wife's right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone's right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness... There is no act more wretched than stealing, Amir."

Wicktionary Bookmarklet

A bookmarklet is defined by Wictionary as "A small piece of JavaScript code stored as a URL within a bookmark". I have been using bookmarklets to make my life easier from a long time. Some that I use regularly are [Read Now] : This makes it really easy for me to read pages which are unreadable. [Google Translate] : Translates pages [Mobilise This] : Formats the page for mobile viewing by Google. [Acronym lookup] : This helps me find the meanings for abbreviations. The links in [] brackets are bookmarklets. Just drag them to your bookmark bar. I picked these up from these two pages. There is also a whole website dedicated to them bookmarklets. As a developer, what i like about bookmarklets is that they are coded in JavaScript and i can meddle with them till my heart's content, without worrying about breaking anything. However, i wanted a bookmarklet that would allow me to look up meaning of words. Wiktionary was my open dictionary of choice. They d
