Hell O'World writes: "Wow! Mob Software." A concise submitter, how refreshing. To elaborate: an essay whose author argues that large software projects should be built, well, by a mob.

  1. You had me scared there for a minute by unitron · · Score: 1, Redundant
    When I saw the headline I thought this might actually be about what kind of software the mob uses when using computers in aid of their illegal activities. Which would actually be an interesting thing to learn about, but I was afraid it was motivated not so much by technical interest as "Soprano" bandwagon jumping. Criminals don't really need to be glamourized.

    But the really frightening part was the vision of Linus waking up to find that Bill left a penguin head in his bed.

    I see even classic Slashdot is now pretty much unusable on dial up anymore.

    Do we really need another organized crime syndicate in the software business?

    After all, we've already got Microsoft.
