>Correct. I don't mind people piggy-backing on some fairly obvious generic term like "debug" per se. I don't know if the old init scripts did that, but I do know they did it for "quiet", which is basically t

Defending their members is the role of a union. Your post makes about as much sense as somebody accusing lawyers of making a huge strategic mistake in agreeing to defend people accused of murder who really do turn out to have committed murd

Nobody that I have seen said Eich shouldn't have any job anymore. Just that he wasn't a good choice for this particular leadership role. I'm not privy to what happened within Mozilla, but it does sound like it was internal di

I don't see your point. I don't see anybody in here (yet) saying that the article we are discussing (or any other article defending Eich) shouldn't have been written or published - merely some people disagreeing with it. I ha

I've seen a few people say they won't be using Mozilla products any longer, which is up to them of course. I doubt it is any significant number of people. The only thing I've seen that 'crossed the line' so to speak

For goodness sake, when are people going to understand that freedom of expression doesn't (and shouldn't) mean freedom from criticism. This is not a difficult concept people.

Perhaps this is a cultural difference then. I'm not from the US. Most of my friends and family are Scottish. Politics (in the broadest sense) is typically the number one topic of discussion in most situations. From dinners with friends

I doubt he is trolling. His past comments indicate he has pretty extreme political views.

Well he was motivated enough about the issue to make a sizeable political donation (although I will concede it's perhaps not a sizeable amount of money to a millionaire). The idea that you can have a "political sphere" and th

Eich can rage as much as he likes about inter-racial marriage or homosexual marriage or single parent families or any other topic that gets social conservatives upset. Similarly, other people are free to criticise his views. Especially if h

I guess 2 years is long enough for most people to have forgotten the brief storm about his homophobic political activities. I wonder if this appointment would have been made 18 months ago when that was still fresh in people's minds. I

Well, if you read the mailing list thread there are several core python maintainers saying that is bad style. So I wouldn't call it just a matter of taste when core maintainers disagree with it and parts of the standard library break y

I can see why people might choose to pick this option when ordering a computer for a less computer savvy friend or relative. Finding and downloading Firefox safely is not trivial if you aren't very tech literate. I just did a search fo

If you are wondering why searching for "firefox" leads people to install malware the main reason is that most of the ads Google shows for that term, and which appear at the very top of the results, take you to sites with malware d
