Father of Wiki Quits MS, Moves to Eclipse
linumax writes "Microsoft has lost one of its high-profile hires to an open-source consortium. Mike Milinkovich, executive director of the Eclipse Foundation, announced on Monday that Ward Cunningham is leaving Microsoft to join the staff of the open-source tool consortium. Cunningham's new title is Director of Committer Community Development.Cunningham, the father of the Wiki concept, joined Microsoft about two years ago. At Microsoft, he was not involved directly in social-networking-software development. Instead, Cunningham worked as an architect with the company's Patterns & Practices Team."
Boy how I'd like to father a wiki.
Ballmer vows,"I'm going to f**king KILL the Eclipse Foundation!"
Ceci n'est pas un post.
lately ought to be "exodus" by bob marley.
The entrance door of the Eclipse foundation has been smashed with a chair recently...
Microsoft couldn't care less, they just released the first beta of VirtualMikeMilinkovich.
..... Throw any chairs when he announced his departure?
This is my opinion. To make sure you don't steal it, it's covered by the DMCA.
Oh, you know... Evil.
The usual.
GCHQ Quantum Insert installed. If only our tongues were made of glass, how much more careful we would be when we speak
... rise to record valuations!
It's gotten to the point where on the front page yesterday, it mentioned dildos and pegging.
OMGWTF
This is seriously a disturbing turn of events! We can't let Wikipedia inform of methods to relieve sexual tensions with dildos! OMG, what is this crap? Think of the children! We must actively start aiming Wikipedia's front page for specific cultures and religions. Act now! Do YOU want your children to grow up in a society where people are informed about human sexuality?!
Doodley~ doodley~ doodley~ dooo~ Blip!
I wonder; if somebody leaves Microsoft, do they get their soul back?
Slashdot social media options: AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, Jabber and Mobile Text. Why no MySpace?

Absolutely, souls are held in escrow and are returned as long as the employee has fulfilled at least two full years of employment. Those leaving the company after less than two years receive back a fraction of their soul proportional to the length of time they worked.
He (Gates) predicted that the HD DVD will be "the last physical media format there will ever be."
He could be right. First there will be High Definition. Then there will be Hyper Definition. Then there will be High-hyper Definition. Then there will be Hyper-high-hyper Definition. Then there will be Hugely-hyper-high-hyper Definition and Honkin'-hugely-hyper-high-hyper Definition. The superlatives are never-ending.
(What would be the radio-frequency designation for gamma rays?)
...and Balmer vows to kill Eclipse and its little dog toto too.
The race isn't always to the swift... but that's the way to bet!
Microsoft is like the youngest uncle at the family renions, too young to know that he's too old to be hanging out with the kids anymore.
You just made my day with that line. Thanks.
The correlation between ignorance of statistics and using "correlation is not causation" as an argument is close to 1.
Is that what the "Silo" storage concept was all about? A way to store souls in escrow? I don't think NTFS has a native soul-storage capability, although there's probably a driver somewhere... I wonder what would happen if the M$ soul-server crashed? Truly a BSOD!
Zen tips: Pay attention. Don't take it personally. Believe nothing.
you can never get rid of the sulfur stench.
I prefer the "u" in honour as it seems to be missing these days.
