    what is the problem with being paid ?

    Free software does not means that it is free to produce, a payment upfront for feature or a documentation that you need, it not a bad use of money even if that benefit everyone. I won't give as I read french and I do not use Debian but should I have to administer or program for a Debian system, I would not hesitate to fill a procurement (if is it under 10000$ as over this the paperwork gets hellish) form to contract that particular feature.

    Most of the Kernel guys are paid from some corp, most of the Ubuntu guys are paid by canonical, some Debian guys use to be paid by the severely reduced FT R&D lab and other French corp. So why would it be bad for that particular individual to be paid by the peoples who will benefit from his important work on dpkg and the documentation ?

    Saying were is your god now, he is clearly existent as he has not helped you devote worshipper, is not the same as getting giddy.

    And I would add that irrational beliefs should be mocked. They had the irrational belief that an anthropomorphic god would protect them, it clearly has not. Sure, theologians came with plenty of rational sounding explanations for this, but they do not hold if you do use n order predicate calculus on them.(Lawyers and politicians should be mock to for pretty much the same reason).

    Someone might ask why use mockery, as mockery sounds mean and unenlightened ? You use mockery to fight irrational belief as by definition irrational believer cannot be argued with. However mockery works the emotive part of the brain were reason cannot reach.... That is why believers should be mocked and not argued with.

    Someone else might also ask : why this instead of nothing? There must be a god since we exist. Any anthropomorphic god with a will of some-kind still can't answer the precedent question, it just add an indirection level and you end up with the following question: why god instead of nothing.

    And I would like to conclude that I love it (even if someone mock me) when someone highlight an irrational belief that I hold as it enables me to be more rational.

  23. Re:CS vs IT != no sense at all on Ask Slashdot: CS Grads Taking IT Jobs? · · Score: 1

    To work in IT you learn it in the business department of the university or you enrol in a vocational college to learn computer administration. Anything else is watered down CS. In a good university, CS is about math, algorithms, architecture and history, you have to program but it is not the core of the curriculum.

    On a tangential note, you need a ratio of about 1 CS by 8 vocational college programmers, this ratio is not fixed in stone and should be adapted to type of project. That being said, most CS start as programmer and use their advanced knowledge of algorithms and data structures to rise to the rank of architect. Some architect stop coding but this is a mistake as it is an highway to the ivory tower of pie in the sky architecture. Also, how I can you have the needed respect to get the job done if your programmers do not know that you are a better coder overall than they are, and therefore don't trust your architectural decisions.
