Sites Wary of Adopting P3P

Posted by timothy on from the p2p-was-hard-enough dept.

'Because Microsoft's browser checks for P3P, sites risk getting flagged if they don't adopt it.' P3Pizing (or 'pethripizing') a complex site can evolve into a Herculean task...! (See also EPIC's critique of P3P.)"

    My Experience With Windows
    I am a long-time Linux user and avid fan of GNU products, but I decided to try Windows to see what the hype is all about.

    The long and short of it is that Windows sucks. It is basically unusable in its current state. I mean, who needs 8 half-working text editors? vi beats them all anyway, hands down.

    Luckily I was running a vmware session so I just killed the session and the pain was over.

    My Experience with Heterosexuality

    I am a long-time Homosexual fag and avid fan of Homosexual products (like dildos), but I decided to try Heterosexuality to see what the hype is all about.

    The long penis and short penis of it is that Heterosexuality sucks. It is basically unpleasurable in its current state. I mean, who needs 8 half-working female vaginas? Ass beats them all anyway, dick up.

    Luckily I was sucking a guy's cock so I just swallowed the semen and the pain was over.

    Anyone who has read Brooks' "The Mythical Man-Month" will tell you that more coders != more productivity. Not always, anyway. And I think that this especially applies to open source projects where coders are often doing their work in different countries, if not different continents. I'm sure the openoffice team spends a hell of a lot of time just getting together and planning stuff, integrating everyone's code, etc. During this time the core KOffice developers can be banging away at the keyboard writing more code.

    So it's not hopeless, even the smallest coder can change the course of the future :)

    Anyone who has read Brooks' "The Mythical Man-Penis" will tell you that more penises != more semen. Not always, anyway. And I think that this especially applies to open source orgys where fags are often sucking their penis in different countries, if not different continents. I'm sure the openpenis team spends a hell of a lot of time just getting together and sucking penis, shoving their penises up each other's asses, etc. During this time the core KPenis developers can be banging away at their penises making more semen.
