Lead PHP Developer Quits
Jasper Bryant-Greene writes "Jani Taskinen, one of the lead developers of the Zend Engine (the engine that powers PHP), as well as a lead developer for the thread safety system and other core components of the PHP project, has quit in a relatively cryptic message to the php-internals mailing list. Jani has been involved with PHP for about 6 years and his loss will undoubtedly be a big blow for the PHP project."
"Jani has been involved with PHP for about 6 years and his loss will undoubtedly be a big blow for the PHP project."
To paraphrase Dion. "My [code] will go on."
Incidentally, I could care less about the usage of that phrase.
what benefits an israeli company benefits israeli economy, which benefits israel's terrorist regime. Jani is completely right to boycott a terrorist regime. it's a very rational decision when no government seems to care about israeli terrorism.

Yes, Israel has the right to defend itself as any other country would, BUT i call attacking the civilian population, the utilities and other civilian infrastructure the right response for a extremist movement kiddnapping two (2) people.
Also remember that you can't fight agains fanatics with violence, as there will always be another ones willing to follow the killed marthyrs. (for example take israelis actions in gaza, where it focuses it's attacks on the families of terrorists leveling entire city blocks in the process, creating many more desperate people who feel that israel has destroyed their lives.
Also bear in mind that the rest of the world excluding USA has condemmed the strikes, but USA can't even think that it's pet nation, the israel, would do anything wrong.
The most scary thing about this conflict is that there is only one major army involved, and it's attacking the civilian population, and it has nukes, all this happening on a already unstable region.
Interesting. Sounds like one of the foundations of the "HP Way". Hewlett and Packard did not believe in firing unproductive employees; They tried extremely hard to move them to a new role. I guess the company figured if they worked hard to find well-qualified employees to begin with, why fire them for being in a bad short-term emotional state.
Of course, since Carly Fiorina's tenure, HP is no longer run by people espousing this philosophy. Probably happens like that more often than not. Founders run a company on principles that reflect their personal values. Professional managers are tought to be more impersonal and unemotional and the company fundamentally changes for the worse.
And Israel might not be interested in killing the maximum number of civilians, but it doesn't cary much of civilian victims and it is doing war crimes and delibetarely destroyng civilian infrastructure. And just days ago Israel army said that for each rocket lacunhed to Israel it will revenge by destroyng 10 Lebanese apartment buildings. And Israelis might not be handing out candies on streets of Tel Aviv, but Israeli children write messages like "From Israel with Love" to the bombs (warning, gory images) Israel drops to Lebanon.
Hardly 'karma whoring' here. I simply didn't read every single reply before I threw mine together. First time I've duped anyone here on /. that I'm aware of.
Nothing to see here, let's move along...
Despite the fact that the GNAA joke is rather stale, I still find the bizarre misappropriation of racial/sexual stereotypes to be amusing. Nothing they post ever really makes sense, either. I like that about them.
To me, it doesn't come off as "dumb" . . . it is pretty stupid, but it has an unhinged quality to it. It's more nonsensical I guess.
I really do appreciate the fact that someone is still trolling Slashdot even at a time when trolls, flamebaiters, and other malcontents have been largely harasssed to the point of exodus. Certainly GNAA could do a better job, but at least they're doing it.
