As many have said on -CURRENT: Thanks for the great work. Do you plan on getting this merged into the FreeBSD tree, and maintaining it?

OK- but what about this childlike behavior from Jim Dalrymple to the author of the ZDNet article? Phone in my hand, a gentleman named Jim Dalrymple turned to me and says loudly, “Hey, what phone is that?” I respond, It’s an Android, Samsun

Interesting. There is nested gambling in this story. The first is actually gambling in the casino, and then the gambling on the value of the currency being used.

Annette Nazareth. Google's IPO was in 2004. Looks like she got out while the getting was good. Her successor, Cox didn't get portrayed in a good light in Too Big to Fail on HBO. Pretty much fell on his sword for the greater good.

I know some partisans here in the US hate Nancy Pelosi, and it's an easy piece of red meat to attach her to the Big Government boogeymen, but in reality, don't you think someone a bit higher up on the totem poll would be owning Google if th

His work is based off 5.3.x, there is probably a branch for it in the official SVN repo. As one commenter noted, the github mirror is stale so he'd need to fork it and then update it with the official svn to find the branch. It may make sen

Well, then just use git svn to update the master of his fork to match the official PHP svn. It'll just be a fast forward anyway. Two birds with one stone.

I'm just pissed that he didn't even bother to actually fork the project. On Github! WOW! All the previous commits before the fork? Gone. Poof. It's completely without any context. Even though there's a big "FORK" button!

Why oh why didn't he fork php/php-src, make a branch for his changes, then commit as he went along? This just ends up as a big patchbomb. They're never going to merge his changes, and I don't blame them. EDIT - Hopefully we can straighten t

Implementing a high order programming language in a low level language, like C++ Oh dear, I can see the old timers coming up the hill, ready with their rants about how C and C++ are now considered low level languages. ;)

Declaring that you've never programmed in Java, then cherry-picking a type from the language and asking why Python doesn't have it, is quite ironic, given the vast differences in typing between the two languages.

I'd actually take a Shingle over VSS. At least a shingle can't crash and corrupt all your revision metadata.

Good question - though I don't think it's a problem of broken process, but an absence of processes like you listed above. That's when these types of "solutions" are devised/used.

We had one, highly specialized piece of software code which could only be checked out, worked on, and checked in by a single engineer at a time. You were only allowed to touch this piece of code if you possessed a physical token. Ahh, the
