Upcoming PHP release will offer Unicode support (Linux.com)Upcoming PHP release will offer Unicode support (Linux.com)Posted Mar 3, 2007 11:57 UTC (Sat) by arcticwolf (guest, #8341)In reply to: Upcoming PHP release will offer Unicode support (Linux.com) by gravious Parent article: Upcoming PHP release will offer Unicode support (Linux.com)
That's a stupid argument, really - you could apply the same to just about any criticism of just about anything.
Unhappy with your car's gas mileage? Build a better car! Didn't like Star Wars episode 1? Make a better movie! Unhappy with the fact that the surgeon who was supposed to fix your broken leg made a mistake? Just do it yourself next time! Don't like your country's foreign policy? Declare independence and form your own country!
I have no idea where the notion that you're not allowed to criticise things *at all* (and that, rather, you must fix them yourself) comes from, but it's really ridiculous. Of course sometimes there's obnoxious people on mailing lists who will rant and rave and whine about the fact that the developers aren't implementing the obscure feature they requested that's useful only to them, and of course those deserve to be ignored (or bitch-slapped, verbally), but expressing dissatisfaction with the fact that a major programming language has no in-core support for Unicode in 2007 is something else entirely.
