Evangelizing OSS in the Caribbean
An anonymous reader writes "Here is an article on NewsForge regarding evangelizing OSS in the Caribbean. I'm wondering what others think of the impact efforts like this may have on software development jobs in the US. Is IT still a viable field to get into and if so will it last?"
If you are gay, if you are a nigger, or if you are gay and a nigger, then the GNAA is for you. Stop by #GNAA on EFNet today for more details!
Pirates of the Carribean was so much better than I thought it would be that I'm willing to sacrifice my karma even further to tell you all about it.
I just got back from it and the plot was without gaping holes, the fight scenes were 5 times as good as those in Matrix Reloaded, the dialogue was fresh, clever and funny. Excusing the fact that it had ghosts, I had zero serious complaints.

Petula's turn came early in the second half. With her hair pulled back and wearing her now signature black ensemble (long black skirt, black lace blouse, topped with a black jacket) and backed primarily by Miss Lee's own rhythm section, Petula spoke a few words about having first idolized and then ultimately having sung with Peggy, before enthusiastically launching into the uptempo "Things are Swinging" (written by Peggy Lee and Jack Marshall) using the very same arrangement used by Miss Lee but making it her own. Later, looking stunning in a new gold ensemble (reminiscent of the gorgeous blue dress she wore in Norfolk) she returned to the stage again very near the end of the show. This time, with lush orchestral backing, she sang a very heartfelt rendition of "Circle in the Sky." Both songs were very enthusiastically received, particularly by the front row.
During a video clip of Miss Lee singing "Is that All There Is," Petula and ensemble returned to the stage for the finale and ended the show with a touching "I'll Be Seeing You" (with Petula being one of the few singers who seemed to know all of the lyrics.)
During the after-party reception down the street at Shelly's, Petula could be heard sharing "Sunset Boulevard" memories with Rita Moreno (who had taken over the Norma role while Petula had been on vacation) and advising Nancy Sinatra about venue selection and performances in London, while in-between managing to enjoy a piece of chocolate cake and warmly greet several fans with a kiss on each cheek.
Over lunch the following day she was anxious to hear our comments about the show, confiding that there had been precious little rehearsal and that unfortunately the singers on stage had been unable to hear many of the other performances, much less see them. She also mentioned that while she had been unable to see much from the brightly lit stage, she had very much enjoyed the feel of performing in the Hall, comparing it to the London Palladium and the Paris Olympia. Following lunch, she had a full afternoon of work-related activities scheduled for her and said she would be leaving the following day to return to London to prepare for her June 29th appearance at the Albert Hall, before commencing promotion for the upcoming German CD release.
All and all, it had been a memorable evening and we were grateful for the time we spent with her, however brief.
My point is that it is a dying job and will be done by the likes of "fast food programmers"
I mean you should love your job but if you can't make a living at it then learn to love something else.

Following my work researching The Linux Gay Conspiracy, I am saddened to announced that I have discovered yet another orgy of perverted heterophobic values. My claim lies with the Slashdot mangement. First, what kind of name is Slashdot? This is obviously a code word in the homosexual community for something perverted. Slashdot is an anagram of LAD SHOTS, which refers to Slashdot's pedophile agenda and T ASS HOLD, which refers to some gay sexual posistion that Michael and CmdrTaco enjoy. The 'editors' of Slashdot, as they call themselves, are homosexual swingers with cleverly disguised nicknames. CmdrTaco (aka "Rob" Malda) is the "head" honcho of Slashdot. Cmdr obviously refers to his desire to dominate over his gay partners, and Taco is obviously a sly reference to his colon. Update: It is well known that Taco claims to be married to Kate Fent. No one really believes that 'she' is actually his wife. We have proof that this 'she' is actually a he. It turns out that Kathleen Fent is an anagram of KHAN FELT EN ET. So this Kate of his is really Khan who "felt in it". I will not describe what that means as I am sure you can imagine yourself. Michael Sims, who goes as 'michael' on Slashdot, is a well known thug and advancer of homosexual agenda. His name is an anagram of ASS CHIME MIL which obviously refers to his desire to flaunt his lower organ.Update: It turns out that Michael Sims is also an anagram of ASS LICE, HMM, I?. That is so sick that words cannot describe the horror. Father Randy "Pudge" O'Day is Slashdot's Mac propagandist. Macintosh computers are well known as the Gay computer due to their homosexual colors and stylings. An email exchange between 'Pudge' and Ghey Apple HQ have been leaked by a former Apple employee who converted to heterosexuality. These two emails (here and here) have been repeatedly posted on Slashdot, but are quickly censored by Slashdot moderators who do not want the public to know about its agenda.Update form Subject Line Troll - it appears the O'Day is just a few letter changes away from I'm Gay and rhymes with O'Day. Is anyone surprised that Mr. Pudge is a fudge packing PowerPC hippie? Simoniker, a recent addition to Slashdot has been uncovered as Mr. Goatse himself. Simoniker is a frequent poster to the Games section of Slashdot, obviously because he enjoies modded versions of Quake 3 and UT2K3 as a homosexual warrior who likes to 'overcome' his opponents with his exagerated sized love member. In addition, Simoniker is an anagram of KEN I RIM SO (Ken is probably his current boyfriend) and MEN I IRK SO (which refers to his frustratingly troubled gay relationships, probably due to his rather large asshole).Update from AC: I'M ON ERIK'S... "Eriks what? We can only imagine" -AC. CowboyNeal. How could I forget him? CowboyNeal is Slashdot's Poll Editor. His rampant homosexuality is obvious. "Cowboy Kneel" is what his name actually means. His odd sexuality needs no further explanation. Please reply with additional information, contributions, and corrections. I will include any additional information and credit you with it in my further releases of this report. Posted from the nero-online.org Troll Library
