Now, now, he's not just a misogynist. When the Abu Ghraib scandal broke, he opined that the real problem was that we weren't torturing enough brown people, because that's the only language they understand. http://mediagirl.org/node/485

Ah. Then insert a reply rant from me about how Stallman and the FSF still don't get it.

It's "strange sense of humor". The original creators of the app thought it was funny. If I had my druthers, we wouldn't waste ink to put astrological bullshit in the paper every day. (Length of time in office would indeed be pretty cool. I'

Unintentionally hilarious given the way the FSF worked to make itself irrelevant by ignoring hosted apps for decades. I mailed them in the late 90s asking why it was that running an app on my computer meant I should get the source code but

Your subtle distinction comes down to: it's not that they blocked it, it's that they haven't stopped blocking it. I don't see a reason to treat that significantly differently.

http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/fd0n/articles.htm has a lot of nice articles on different ways folks can invest in private companies. Give them a read to understand the basics and then talk to a lawyer to write up the paperwork for the cou

The recent debate was killed. People who did not happen to log in during the right couple hours in the US morning didn't see it.

The problem with "fixing" the problem is that his company now has a huge stake in the system not changing, or at least in not loosening restrictions. Now that the company has extracted so much money from other companies, it can very effecti

Leave. The bullet points all sound like typical developer gripes, except being forbidden to talk to team members means one of two things: 1. Management is all messed up and is attacking 'troublemakers' instead of the problems. 2. Your cow

Reinventing Comics is just about as awesome. Making Comics is good, but only if you're interested in, you know, making comics. The others are fun and enlightening for most anyone who reads comics.

It sounds like bootstrapping's been really successful for you, but it sounds like it required a lot of patience. I mean, it's easy to be passionate about your brilliant startup idea, but about consulting? Maybe it's just that I don't like t

Hey, badass. I just took a week of R&R to sort out priorities and decided that my web-based game (with OpenSocial/FB frontends, natch) was probably the best bet. This success story is a nice encouragement.

It also lacks the bolding and heavy cell borders and gutters that turn the PHP manual's table into a wall of gray noise. It's a solid improvement.

The use of a religious text is regrettable, it's a bad first impression to make on their hypothetical future civilization discovering one. Otherwise, damn cool. I wish they weren't charging $25,000 for them.

Knowing Salon, it probably comes with an interstitial ad that opens a popunder when you close it. Then you have to sit through a thirty-second Flash ad to get a "day pass".

Lousy article. Where's the "because it's in their best interest" option? Sometimes people say yes because they think they're getting a good deal, not because you've used psuedo-psychology to twist their arm.

What's not mentioned in the story is that the tenth guy owned the bar. Not only was he drinking for free, he keeps his overhead down by not paying the first four guys (migrant workers) much of anything and occasionally chats with other bar

The site doesn't show me anything about how it works when I visit the homepage. There's some vague promises, but not even a screenshot of a profile or a forum. What do I get for trusting you with personal info?
