  1. Call out Sexism the same way we call out FUD on FOSS Sexism Claims Met With Ire and Denial · · Score: 1

    Sexism is something we shouldn't put up with and I lump it right along with M$ FUD, and the ever increasing FOSS FUD that I'm seeing. Call it out, you might not get the outcome you desire, especially concerning FOSS FUD, people just don't recognize it, kinda like sexism.

  3. This comment is bunk on Front End Drupal · · Score: 1

    Drupal is not RoR or Django, so don't compare apples and oranges. First, a Drupal view is not equivalent to ORM. A Drupal view is on a higher level. It takes drupal content, lets you slice, dice and display it. Maybe you meant CCk. As to not using PHP as a templating language, you can always use the smarty engine if you want, but then you are just adding another layer of stuff that could break or cause security issues.

    Now, Drupal is not perfect, but what it does it does well.

  5. Re:Itsatrap!!! on Worst Working Conditions You Had To Write Code In? · · Score: 1

    Well, at least you had something to write code on. We had to mine our own minerals to build a computer so that we could code. All that will sitting in a box in the middle of the road, because our boss wouldn't allow us in the office because of the toxic dust from the mine.

  6. Re:Another great idea on Use apt-p2p To Improve Ubuntu 9.04 Upgrade · · Score: 1

    More great moderation by the "linux can do no wrong" people (this is written on a Linux machine). Anyone want to bet on which Linux distro will be the first to have a windows type virus (without running network services such as bind)? My thoughts are that someday, someone will fuck up and the next "upgrade" you do will result in your being part of a very large bot net, along with all your windows using compatriots.

    Now, don't get me wrong, I still won't switch to openbsd. I'd rather use two cans and a string.

    Yep, most of what you hear about DJB is nothing more than internet myth and/or people who can't disagree without getting angry.

  13. Happens all the time on Comcast Apologizes For Super Bowl Porn Glitch · · Score: 1

    I was sitting in a hotel suite, waiting from some friends to get ready and go to dinner on Saturday evening. One of the guys was surfing the cable channels and I mentioned that, "You never know when the free porn will be on." Not 5 minutes later he hit a channel and suddenly, porn. 5 minutes later it was gone.

    Somebody hit the wrong switch...

    Do you know djb? If not, why do you judge him so? He has very good ideas and follows through on his promises. The people who complain that they can't modify his software, roll it up and distribute it are the ones who gave us things like broken ssh in debian.

    You mistake lack of an easy syntax for AAAA and SRV records with non-support. How stupid.
