Technocrat.net Shut Down
twitter writes "Bruce Perens has pulled the plug on Technocrat.net. 'The technocrat.net public discussion site is shut down. This has happened because the site never achieved the ability to financially sustain its editorial staff and system expenses with its revenues. When it became evident that Technocrat was un-viable as a business, I found that I did not wish to keep supporting the site as a hobby. Certain elements of the community that developed here, unfortunately, creep me out. At the end I faced the decision of asking for donations to keep the site running, or letting it die, and it became clear to me that I'd feel better if it would just die. I am very busy building a new software business, with some great new (and yet unannounced) Open Source software in development. I must focus on that for now. Best holiday wishes to you all.'"
I've never been to Technocrat, but here's my story:
I dropped a brown rope this morning the size of a small black child. At one point, I wasn't sure if I was taking a shit, or it the shit was taking me. And while I'm on that point, what's the deal with taking a shit? Shouldn't it be leaving a shit? I'm certainly not taking anything with me when I'm done.
But back on topic, Technocrat suck ass.
Stallman's philosophy, of which Perens is a supper and not just a fan, is anti-business. The failure for commercial reasons of his enterprise is fitting and just.
Jar Jar Binks is adorable.
haeger,
I am very fond of many of the posts you made to the forum. I would like to continue communication with you even though the site is down. I do hope that you have more pictures of yourself with bananas stuffed up your asshole.
Thanks,
Bruce
For those that don't remember history, Bruce Perens was HP's Linux go-to guy. He quit HP PR to go it on his own. Little did he know back then that making a go with Linux is not the sure thing he said it was. Silly PR man, Linux is for kids !!!
it only goes to show that if one bruce perens can't make it with linux how the hell can you or i?
The plain fact of the matter is that I don't like Negroes. Now before you get on your high horse and start screaming "racism", let me have my say.
It is the Negro culture to which I can not relate.I don't like the way a Negro looks. I don't like the way they talk. I don't like their music. As far as I can tell, when measured by objective standards, the Negro culture is quite primitive.
This is my personal opinion. You don't have to agree with it. It is my opinion however, and it is the way in which I view things.
You can scream and yell, but it won't change my mind one bit. I am entitled to my personal preferences, and I don't prefer Negroes. At all. Period.
Fuck Perens and his open ass, open source projects. This is proof that his ideology cannot make anyone a living. He is now reverting to his old role of male prostitute in San Fransisco. Look for him in a mini skirt with his dick hanging below the hemline very soon.
A message from the GNAA
ahhhh I wish I trolled that good... I miss them too.
Sorry to be a pedant, but you can only profit from closed source. Viral systems like the GPL cannot propagate profit even with recursion.
And by the way, despite claims, Python lacks the necessary means to do proper recursion. Yet another failure of open source to profit.
