From the article: 'RUP is a vast collection of methods and best practices for promoting quality and efficiency throughout software development projects. IBM's donation will also provide a foundation architecture and Web-based tools for the industry to engineer, collaborate on, share and reuse software development best practices.'"

      It's no wonder that there are so many people posting as ACs on Slashdot. Any post that's halfway interesting, funny, or deviates from the "Linux is great, corporations suck" mentality gets modded as Troll. I have my preferences set to give trolls a "+1" modifier since at least they're usually entertaining. Not the boring tired-old BS that usually goes on around here.

      Half the posts that are modded "funny" are just idiotic. This guy posts something that IS funny and it's a troll.
