No one here is going to defend Glen Beck, so at best it would just be a one-sided conversation congratulating ourselves for realizing how irrational he is. This doesn't seem like a productive use of anyone's time.

Gandhi died before he was awarded the Peace Prize, even though he was nominated five times. Obama gets it less than a year into his Presidency? I like Obama, but that's just wrong.

Maybe the first justified use of all capitals I've seen on this site.

I really appreciate you sharing this. Reading a story like this doesn't have a direct applicable impact on my life at this moment, but I feel I am better for having read it.

I'm pretty sure one of the most notable things about Google is Larry and Sergey's ability to avoid this, going back all the way to when they raised VC. They split the funds between rival firms Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and Sequo

Even before I clicked on the comments, I expected a response from you debunking the points in the article. :-)

You'd think they'd act like grown-ups before the press, given media's tendency to blow things out of proportion. But nope, not Schmidt. The person acting like a child is not who you think it is.

Balls of steel mate. Respect. EDIT: Apparently your webserver is a little less resilient though. :-p

I've noticed it's pretty much been the standard the past week or so. 5 minute 'apt-get' tutorials have been ranging between 10-20 as well.

Yup. CPAN is only going to hold off Ruby and Python for so long.

Isn't it obvious why?

Another garbage 5 minute tech tutorial on the front page. If you can't figure this out on your own you shouldn't be responsible for your site's SSL cert, or anything else related to security.

The design for an implementation of a bridge, not for all bridges. Most software patents try to patent all bridges.

What if civil engineers could file a patent that looked like that following: A method and system for crossing a body of water via a constructed object. The customer starts on one side of the water and walks across the object to the other s

Red Hat is so kickass. We need more publicly traded open source companies.

That's a dumb reason to vote up an article. If I submitted the man page of vim, would you upvote it? The man page is actually more useful than this blog post. It's not about the subject, it's about the content.

Or you could just say that they both are very unappealing. It probably took the author under 5 minutes to type up this blog post.

I don't know what uggedal's reason is, but mine has to do with the JVM. Deploying nativity on the JVM is a pretty big deal. You've got entire enterprises with vested interest in your deployment platform and a Lisp as your language.

The great thing about recording a video is that you get to try multiple times. :-p

This type of "programmer" makes me want to jump off of a bridge. The guy gives the acronym for standard operating procedure in the last paragraph of his post. Acronyms are for efficiency, but apparently this guy is using them to try to lo

Actually, I would imagine the odds are worse than that. Not all startups give away their product for free, and I'm guessing the failure rate is higher for those that do. But I don't see the problem with that. Software companies that want

Wow, he wrote that in four days. King was a man in unbelievable talent to be sure, but it certainly shows that someone can produce something amazing in a short period if they have convictions and a bunch of free time.

Wow, a valuation of several billion? What a joke. They have no revenue stream, they're just giving away search for free . I don't see how this startup could ever be successful.

Sure. I simply meant that having a useful product and a good company culture will largely control what people say about you. Google is a great example. I'm not sure what they'll be like going forward, but their record since 2000 is prett

Damn. Lisp and HTML5 in the same book. Who woulda thought... :-p

Honestly if you really want to create a good brand, create a useful product and be an honest company. Seth is wrong; you can control what people say about you. But you can't hack it with a system like this. And if your not a sleazy corp
