Why the "Jwz" in the title? Is this article more or less important because of who wrote it?
- gknoy 12y agoThat is, at the moment, the current title of the page.
- shawndumas 12y agothat's the title that the bookmarklet gave it.
- biot 12y agoFrom the HN guidelines: "If the original title includes the name of the site, please take it out, because the site name will be displayed after the link anyway."
- shawndumas 12y agopoint taken; thank you
- Animats 12y agoJamie Zawinski. He wrote part of Mozilla, made some money, and now runs a nightclub in San Francisco.
- frandroid 12y agoNot necessarily more important, but usually more entertaining than most.
- thought_alarm 12y agoPerhaps we should continue this discussion on `alt.fan.jwz`.
- angersock 12y agoEver used xscreensaver, Netscape, or xemacs?
- smosher_ 12y agoYes, depending on who is reading it. If you're familiar with JWZ you know what kind of tone this is going to take and what you might get out of reading it. I'm not keen to read everything he writes but this story written by just about anyone else would not get my attention. I'm sure some people feel the opposite. But biot's comment makes it all moot.
