An Anonymous Coward writes: "Looks like it's official. Philip Greenspun's ArsDigita has been closed, its assets sold to Red Hat. No word on what Red Hat is planning to do with the GPL'd ArsDigita Community System." You may remember ArsDigita from its grand plans during the dot-com boom.

    Who are you now? The Roger Ebert cum Anita Bryant in regulating taste in engineering discussions?

    The human mind is built for metaphores. Because some of those metaphores are of bad taste doesn't mean that the mind behind them isn't contributing to something good. Philip has a degree and a background in engineering, not public relations.
