What? So someone sends you an invite email to thunderbird, it gets added to your mozilla calendar and gets synced with google calendar. What's the problem there?
Yeah, there was an article about Japanese (or maybe Chinese) prisoners being interrogated for a month before confessing. Also, they confess as a way to avoid an embarrassing trial.

I think Rails has already "caught on".
Also, that blog post has a ton of errors. Here's one: If you want to write a Web application in Ruby, there is only one solution. Only one. Ruby on Rails. Hm, about about Camping or Nitro?
Rails scales perfectly well, just the same as any other share-nothing approach.
I can write an object / class factory in Ruby in a couple lines of code. Doing the same in C++ would be a couple hundred (or more) lines of template monstrosity. And the concept doesn't make sense in C.
Sometimes, the language does dictate what you can and can't elegantly do.
I'm a software engineer, and I find Software Engineering to be a very interesting course also - but still bullshit. Software Engineers have *NO* idea how to properly write large bug-free software programs -- they start with fixed assumptions and scope and then build to that data, and call it done, ignoring that assumptions and scope always change.
Which is how we start with "Hello, World" and end with a $150 million FBI computer system failure.
I have no idea what you're talking about. Are you saying that Google is going to insert code into your C++ open source project that talks to a Google server?
Yes. Kernel modifications are necessary if you want to allow non-root users to do memory locking, for example. Helpful when developing realtime software.
Adults do have perfect grammar. Maybe not according to language eggheads, but language is defined by common usage (and there are many dialects of English), not by eggheads.

What does MIT use now? Scheme?
I do the same thing to after playing GTA a lot. :/

Ugh, so much FUD.
wtf, how does that not reduce sellers' profits?
I'd mod you up if I could.

I know.

They lose money on the majority of their hardware businesses.
I think the only thing they make money on is Windows and Office and mice and keyboards.
Agreed. 1680x1050 is great on a 15.4" screen.
The next OS X is supposed to be resolution independent. Perhaps they'll upgrade the resolution on their laptops then.
Ubuntu on a Dell E1505 is a great combination, btw.

If anything, the fact that it was neatly done might've allowed the senior engineer to figure out the problem quicker.
The story didn't support your assertation that "neatness can be taken too far".
Huh? The creator of Ruby, Matz, over in Japan, is Mormon?

If so, I'd like some of that crack please.
No one said that. Urban myth. Or a severe misquote, if you're feeling charitable.
Why would the ACLU be involved? If anything, they'd protect Google's rights to display what they want.
You racist asshole!

On my Ruby on Rails sites, every (changed) page is automatically re-validated every time I make any change that would affect a page.
(I use the assert_valid_markup or assert_valid_asset plugin)

In vim (at least), you can match the 'do'/'if' to their corresponding 'end' fairly easily.
CSpan's microphones didn't cover the audience very well, unlike the audio setup on most comedy shows.
