Reminds me of an answer to "What's the difference between Javascript and Java?" on StackOverflow:
"One is essentially a toy, designed for writing small pieces of code, and traditionally used and abused by inexperienced programmers.
The other is a scripting language for web browsers."

That one is excellent 
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

That description fits both. Any language with 'script' in it, especially if it is an interpreter, is essentially a toy. trying to get serious work done with something like that has a long tradition all the way back to Mickeysoft BASIC.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

No. Every time I had to do with PHP bozos, they were bragging that they could program everything with PHP. When asked to do something impossible, like writing a nice 3D game, they called this unfair, since PHP is only a scripting language, after all.
They always remind me of those little dogs. They try to bark with the big guys and quickly disappear into some handbag when being taken by their word.

One of the Reviews:
Well written and concise book to get into PHP OOP. [..] this will help the reader learn the material better in the end.

I always knew that there had to be some kind bible for PHP. It's impossible that so many clowns all over the world independently come up with the same kind of code.

Thinking of lisp predicate functions, would phpp(poop) always return true?

I'm not going to take the click-bait, but if it's the story Aunty ran a week or two ago then he was broke and sent himself back to Oz in a box via airfreight. Nowt to do with drugs or stuff.

he has a book out (which is why its all over the papers etc) in which he admits to smuggling drugs so I would say that it is relavent

He barely escaped being executed for smuggling drugs.
All in all, it doesn't seem like he was that nice a guy.

Got a call from Iris this morning (an elderly lady, mother of a friend of mine - I sort out her computer problems from time to time). "My picture of the dolphin has vanished, can you get it back for me?"
This means "My desktop background picture has changed on my Win 8 laptop. Please fix it!"
So I figure it'll be a quick five minutes, and pop over to see her.
Nope.
Everything is gone. It's like she just re-installed windows 8.0.
Her pictures are still on her HDD, but...Office is gone, email is gone, chrome: vanished. McAffee is installed! 
Windows defender? Gone.
"I lost something, so I pressed 'restore'" ... and she can't remember where or how she got to "restore" - but there are no saved restore points, no nothing...
Simple job? I think not. So I've taken her lappie off her and it's sitting here beside me while I work out exactly what to do now.
Bang goes my quiet day... 
[edit]
First thing: Find out what she's done. Looks like she has found and used "restore to factory defaults" - there are no windows updates listed past 01/09/2012.
So, we need to get that lot done first (hopefully including an update to 8.1)
But...windows first needs to update windows updater.
And the installation of windows updater failed, so the update service isn't running.
Am I on Candid Camera or something?
[/edit]
[edit2]
Fixed that: "138 important updtaes are available"
Long day. Loads of reboots. Joy is unconfined.

I have a laptop that wait for keyboard replace, can you pop over too?
(It is not urgent, the laptop waits for the remake like 5 years and my wife already destroyed two others since - so you can take your time to fix it  )
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

It might take a while...
Iris looks to have hit "restore to factory defaults": the last windows update installed is dated 01/09/2012.

Given that OG lives in Wales and you live in Israel, that would be a really expensive on-site service call.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

That's why Apple computers are so popular - I tend to suggest Apple computers, or mobile devices, to people who have little to no understanding of computers as you can't do much with them to break them - plus I can't support them
