I recently read an article talking about increasing the minimum wage.

Good quotes:
"I can't even move out of my mama's house, and I got a child on the way," Willis said.

"How am I supposed to make a living making $6.55 an hour?" he said.

My views on the subject:

• Go to school so you don't have to work for minimum wage


• Does raising the minimum wage cause prices in general to go up?


• If not, why don't we make the minimum wage $30/hr? $50? $500?


• Work hard, be dedicated, your wage will increase

Reprint from Jason Noble's Technical Adventures:

The load balancers we use at work have a TCL command line interface. A co-worker needed a TCL function written that would take a string as input and return the string transformed so that the first letter was upper case and the rest were lower case. There is a built in string function called toupper but that capitalizes the full string instead of only the first.

My solution (shown below) is to split the string into two strings, toupper the first string and tolower the second, then append them together. The result is the equivalent of Perl's ucfirst implemented in TCL.
