    If God forks the Universe every time you roll a die, he'd better have a damned good memory.

    That's why he created git.

  17. Or perhaps... on IT Managers Are Aloof Says Psychologist and Your Co-Workers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    IT subordinates don't like the business decisions passed down from non-IT workers and non-IT workers don't understand the technical implications of the business decisions they make. The IT Manager sits right in the middle of this clusterfuck.

  18. Corporate support is crumbling on Rackspace: SOPA "Is a Deeply Flawed Piece of Legislation" · · Score: 5, Interesting
    Interesting paragraph in this article from politico:

    “The dynamic is clear. Once SOPA — and its Senate counterpart, Protecting IP Act, or PIPA — became high-profile among the Internet community, the lazy endorsements from companies and various hangers-on became toxic. And now, those supporters are scrambling, hollowing out the actual support for the bill. Suddenly, a bill with ‘widespread’ corporate support doesn’t have much support at all,” Dayden said.

    It's in beta, they're still working out the bugs.

  25. Re:Fine with me, GPLv3 sucks for business on GPL, Copyleft Use Declining Fast · · Score: 1

    The problem with GPLv3 is that I can't use it in an application I develop unless I release any changes/mods I make to the source code.

    That was true with the GPLv2 as well.

    Not necessarily, GPLv2 is ambiguous when it comes to code hosted on a server and not distributed to 3rd parties (think SaaS).

    Why is it every complaint against the GPL seems to come from those who want to mooch and not contribute?

    Fuck you, I personally contribute money, code, and time to open source projects. I require my employees to contribute 10% of their time to open source projects.
