    We might as well go over some of the other cool Nytimes articles not mentioned yet on slashdot: ... Review of a new book about the rise of eBay
    Actually, /. covered that with this story on Friday, reviewing the actual book that the NYTimes piece is based on.

    Maybe you should spend less time on NYTimes and more on /.

    :)

    Slashdot; who needs other sites?

    Well, if he is I refuse to work with his code, not until he comes back and notates it properly.

    If God is a software engineer, then Satan must be a [C++|Perl|COBOL|C#] hacker.

    Also, I wonder if God uses vi or Emacs?
