It might sound strange at first but i must say that it's very useful specially if you have shell scripts as part of your application. Usually For making this scripts as automated as possible there should be a way to reuse the application's configurations (ips, passwords , etc) and not having to update a separate configuration file whenever anything changes in the application. It's not limited only to this and can be used to pass any kind of variables.

Unfortunately there is no way to know that the email has been correctly delivered right after sending it. Therefore when someone send a message using Drupal's Contact form or any other modules, he may receive a "Successful message" but the site owner may never receive that message due to the wrong email address , network failure , mail server problem or blocking by spam protector.
This might cause some misunderstanding , loosing a great job opportunity or etc.

lftp is one of the best utilities currently avaiable for working with ftp servers.

In Drupal it's possible to overwrite and extend a theme using sub-themes! So i usually create a custom theme for my site as a sub-Theme of a base theme and try to put all the site specific stuff to that theme instead of the base theme, although it's tricky! and sometimes i have to spend hours finding a workaround for not completely implemented sub themming features but i think it worth it.

Sometimes the code is forward compatible, for example when it's compatible with all future PHP5 releases, put PHP's version_compare function does not support this (Perhaps because they know that they always break compatibility with every minor release!!!). This function supports .x, for the above example it's : 5.x
