   Dries keeps going on about something Koolaid related... not sure what he's talking about, but it sounds tasty! ;-)

   I was referring primarily to enterprise adoption - there have been quite a number of high-profile wins recently in terms of Drupal finding its way into companies/gov agencies that previously would have used proprietary software like Sitecor

   The reality is that this sort of bloat happens in every mature software project. Some of it will get fixed, some of it will persist. You take the good with the bad, but at least there IS a community behind the project. However, what Drupal

   I'm actually a pretty big fan of the Netflix model - take as much as you need so long as you can get the job done. We just haven't worked out the logistics of that kind of thing yet. Let's be honest, though. Technology work is highly team-b

   To be honest going into job interviews with a sense of entitlement about paid vacation time would probably reflect poorly with potential employers. We offer 3 weeks (fairly generous for Canada), but I would be extremely put off by a candida

   I'm consistently impressed by the work DevSeed puts out with such a small team. What's the secret? :-)

   I have this policy of refusing to go through backscatter machines... while I'm not particularly convinced that the radiation is harmful (although it might be), it's on principle that I don't think I should have to give away naked pictures o

    I think it's an interesting study in the jargon of specialization that I had to look up most of what you wrote in order to figure out that you weren't just making things up. This happens in any specialization... An endocrinologist and a rad

    Sweet! I've known Rob for a little while - it's good to see that he's finally created an eye-camera that doesn't explode. Rob is a master of PR... I'm constantly amazed at the publicity he's able to drum up (even for the longest time when a

    Why the hate-on for Vidyard? It was founded a bunch of smart young guys from Waterloo with a passion for building a good product... I, for one, think it's great that they got a writeup in TC.

    Yes, they do. My brother served in Afghanistan (Canadian infantry) and they most definitely played Call of Duty during the lengthy periods between missions.

    Here's what I don't get about your hypothesis... very rarely is there a single gene for specific trait in humans, right? Usually it's a combination of genes, and often the trait produced is the effect of their impact on embryology. So would

    I think I'm most blown away by Seth MacFarlane's involvement in putting this together. I didn't know the guy had such a deep respect for science and a desire to impact our understanding of it.

    I don't think the article is suggesting that this activity is anticompetitive... I think, rather, it's being held up as an example of the genius of Tim Cook and Apple's lesser-appreciated operational excellence.

    This is great news! Nevada is pretty consistently willing to be the reference case on a lot of forward-thinking ideas.

    makmanalp, do you want to put one together and share it with the group here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/p2pu-sicp I'll admit I haven't used IRC in a while so it would take me a while to figure out how to get a channel set up.

    Hey everyone... Wow, there's a lot of interest in this! Sargis discovered a group on P2PU (and Google Groups) that's just getting started, so I figure we might as well join up there rather than reinvent the wheel. Check out the group at:
