Honestly, it's Alan's right to walk away, and it's Linus' prerogative to make whatever observations he'd like to. I don't see the drama, or why people are so exercised about it.
Absolutely: but this is an age-old debate, and generally boils down to dollars. Management almost always agrees, in principle, with the adage "do it right, the first time, and you will be rewarded over the cycle with a better, more easily maintainable code base." And, in principle, the code _should_ be considered a source of documentation, _if it's well-written_. Unfortunately, quick dollars frequently trump "over the cycle".
What motivation could there possibly be for pretty much everything that George W. Bush and co. did if NOT intentionally drive our country into a crisis?
That's why you take the hose with you when you water your lawn! "GIT OFF ME LAWN YE GODLESS BRATS!" followed by a sufficient dowsing is generally enough.

Others have said it, but I'll say it again. Don't buy anything at a department store or your friendly neighborhood Brookstone store. Just don't. Unfortunately, astrophotography is one area that hasn't really gotten any cheaper. Easier maybe, but not cheaper.
I found the following book very helpful from the tech side:
The Backyard Astronomer's Guide # ISBN-10: 155209507X # ISBN-13: 978-1552095072
There's very little here in terms of skycharts, etc., but a wealth of solid, helpful information on the goodies you'll be drooling over after your meeting.
A friend of mine, KB7TRT, was a US Navy radioman during the Korean thing. He claimed to have brought his speed up to over 30 wpm by copying Radio Beijing (well, probably it was "Peking" at that time).
Another friend, W7ITV, told the story that when we was a US Army radioman serving in the Alaskan outback during WWII, his Washington DC-based corps supervisor would transmit at between 30 and 40 wpm (mind you, this is all being done on an issue straight key or at most a "bug", probably a Vibroplex "Blue Racer" -- no sound cards back then you know). When John asked the guy to QRS (send more slowly) he sent, very, very slowly: "copy faster you little , I haven't got all day." (yes, \. = didahdidahdidah.)
The story that's still got me laughing, however, is the one that Neal Stephenson wove into Cryptonomicon about piping the output of his character's decryption of the grid coordinates to the Japanese gold repository to the old "Finux" standby, "morse", and from there to whichever c-routine it was that seemed to come with all Linux distros that let you control the blinking of your keyboard LEDs.
Yes, I passed the 20 wpm test and I'm still proud of that. But I also must agree with whoever it was that said that being compelled to do such a thing was on the order of training to become a "meat modem." CW is cool, but not essential.

Thanks for the link. Very well put.

The end of your post is missing.

Segmentation fault
fixed that for you.

There, fixed that for yez!
i saw what you did there.

'sh' is the Bourne shell. 'bash' is the Bourne Again SHell.
They're not the same.
Thank you.
Thank you.
What flaws, specifically, does the community in question have?
Nolle seems skeptical about our ability to prepare for and handle its emergence, particularly because of flaws in the agent research community.
small rocks?
It's worth remembering that Adams didn't really want to write HHG if his biographers are correct. HHG just sort of happened.

I, for one, welcome our new simian overlords.
