Well that part I get, it was the part about putting the X on the boilerplate... what did he DO? That's what I don't get. I understand the point of the story, I just don't understand the story itself.
This is why I fucking hate slashdot. If you don't understand something all the geniuses here have to be dicks about it. Oooh I don't get it... I must be a moron. Fuck you man.
Looking at that really scares me. The internet is the only place I can escape the extortion and BS I have to go through every day because of companies like AT&T.:(
Would Flickr, Digg, and Wikipedia be PHP's "few remaining strands of reputation"?

that's a pretty strong argument. With all those facts you just pointed out, I guess I have no choice but to concede.

I have a hard time believing you really worked with PHP for any length of time. While some of your points are in the ballpark of valid, for the most part you're just repeating the PHP slander I hear all over the internet. The fact is you can shoot yourself in the foot in any language. The reason PHP takes so much heat is because it's free,it's popular and it's extremely easy to learn and so it's easy for beginners to make mistakes like not filtering/validating user input and not escaping output, but any experienced developer should know to do this. I'd like to hear you point out an example of a bug that took you HOURS to debug. I really would.
I'm usually not for anybody spying on anybody, but this is the first case where myspace is attempting to leave discretion up to the parents as opposed to the lawmakers. I don't know why everybody wants politicians raising their kids. Ideally, parents would just supervise their kids or teach them good behavior (on the internet or otherwise), but we all know that is impossible.

What?? I don't get it. He wrote an "X" on the boilerplate? WTF does that mean?

I'd stab said person in the face.
