Dotgnu Coding Competition

Posted by michael on from the code-warrior dept.

Honestly writes "Apparently DotGNU seems to be offering more than the 'warm fuzzy feeling' to its contributors. Somebody has funded about $4500 worth of prizes for code contributions. The developers have confirmed that the $$$ is in FSF Hands (good hands, I suppose). Here is the split up of prizes. It's almost strange to earn money writing open source. Especially when you're not even employed by dotgnu. Anyway all I can say is ,I like it. It's ideal for a grad student with lots of free time. But hardly anyone seems to have seen the Newsforge posts (except maybe me)."

    First they came for the menial jobs. I never spoke out because I didn't have a menial job.
    Then they came for the unskilled laborer jobs. I never spoke out because I wasn't an unskilled laborer.
    Then they came for the skilled labor jobs. I never spoke out because I wasn't a skilled laborer.
    Then they came for the call center jobs. I never spoke out because I didn't work in a call center.
    Then they came for the middle management / clerical jobs. I never spoke out because that wasn't my job either.
    Then they came for the programmer's jobs. And there was no-one left in employment who wanted to help me.

    FACT: This country is being hollowed out from the inside by filthy subhuman animals. An invasion of scum, often illegally entering the country, who are crawling their way into good jobs. Why? Because they are wanting to take everything over. We all know to what effect that 'positive discrimination' has altered employment practises. Now, instead of the most valuable person for the job, companies are obliged to employ rancid, workshy immigrants.

    Of course, the animals want to get into good companies, so they in turn can influence management decisions to outsource further jobs to their cousins overseas. Thus destroying an entire nation.

    From the lowliest Janitor to the highest executive, foreigners MUST be eliminated from our corporations.

    THEY BREED FASTER THAN OURSELVES BECAUSE THEIR LIVES ARE WORTH LESS.

    maybe nobody cares about dotGNU .. i used to be
    interested in open source, until two things
    happened :

    1 ) i grew up

    2 ) i stopped believing in magical elves

    and then a third :

    3 ) open source / free software zealots began to
    resemble nothing so much as fundamentalist bible
    belt psychotics

    and then a fourth :

    4 ) i moved out in to the world and realized i
    need to make a living
