Combine two of the above ideas.... someone posted about getting a kind of a Google zeitgeist idea going, and I was wondering how the heck that would work...
Then I read the above post.
Opening the submission queue would BE a kind of a Slashdot zeitgeist.
Again and again you say: need training, need this, need certification, needs to be installed just right, needs to be done just this way or else.... etc. etc.
How many of those statements will it take to convince you that you're using a piece of (expensive) crap?!?
If it's so freakishly complex, why use it? There are plenty of other options, Zope, for instance, that don't require a degree in nuclear physics to operate.
Unless this thing makes you millions an hour and solves world hunger and achieves world peace, it doesn't seem to be worth the incredible hassle it appears to cause.
Anyone who's wondering if CoS is really a church or really a religion should just ask the question:
What kind of religion actually has trademarks and copyrights?!?!?!?!
I mean... does any other mainstream religion have this? NO!
What kind of organizations have trademarks and copyrights? CORPORATIONS!
Ergo (and there's a lot more evidence too) CoS is not really a church or religion, but a sick, twisted, money-making scheme that preys on the vulnerable and foolish.
I work for the largest (paper) agenda company. We supply agendas for almost 50 % of North American schools.
I called up Agenda VR3 and said, hey, let's talk. Maybe there's something that we can do here. Unfortunately, I never heard back from them.
We then made arrangements to sell Palms, and VR3 was left out in the cold, where, apparently, they are freezing.
We've had some corporate changes lately, and our relationship with Palm is in question, but there was an opportunity there that the VR3 people seemingly just ignored.
Too bad!

(Or something like that ...)
The point is: pick your poison and fight it!
The worst thing is doing nothing; the second worst thing is agonizing about all the crap and not being able to pick one thing to fight.
Get a life already. Big deal.
Besides, I like Spiderman better. :-)

Maybe they don't believe their own hype?
They ignore the fundamental rule in predator/prey relationships: there's more prey than predator ...
It's that triangle theory we all learned in high school biology.
When prey is outnumbered by predator, prey disappears, and then eventually predator disappears.
Palms and other handhelds have been growing in functionality, while PCs have been shrinking in size.
Soon, maybe in 3-5 years, the handheld/desktop/laptop distinctions will be virtually meaningless.
Long live the wearable/integrated/mobile/ computer!
