There are at least thousands of pieces of information related to OSS produced lately. My comment is geared more towards fluff or filler used on this site, specially that which is tabloid-like in nature.
The words 'manager' and 'foresight' used on the same sentence without one of them being negated makes my belly ache with laughter. Who could dream up such a thing?
Now, before this gets modded "offtopic", the article is yet another clear piece of fluff that pretends to build antagonism between two important figures of the kernel project. How does this stuff keep getting accepted by Slashdot?
Site advertisement demographics require content 14-year-olds would feel satisfied with?
Record label exploiters know their days are counted and are trying to hold on to the remains of whatever profit they can make until the market collapses and is re-structured in a way which could benefit artists. Future wars will be fought on cyberspace I tell ya!
of Raymond's book. "Dated" comes to mind rather than "insightful", considering this information has been available to the masses since 1997.
It essentially describes what amounts to Raymond's concept of "egoboo" -unaccredited, by way- and openly wonders about the possibility of this "sharing" paradigm contaiging human endeavors different from symbol manipulation -without even suggesting where does a sound foundation for such ideas lie-.
By gosh the summary's innacuracy is comparable to Microsoft marketing propaganda. The article does not state clearly "that the use of a help icon" was the cause of the dispute. It does say
The dispute centered on the way that a help function works in the Ichitaro and Hanako software. The way the software presents information violates Matsushita patent number 2,803,236, which was registered with the Japanese patent office in 1998, according to Matsushita.
The Gnome pics, now this? filler for nerds, stuff that doesn't happen?
Have you given the DS a hands-on? It is clearly not a work of love in comparison with the GBA or GBA SP. It is the work of marketers and executives, who, by definition, can only love yen -or dollars-.
Forget about PSP. DS's mediocreness as a product needs not outside of brand comparisons. The press should be looking into Nintendo to see how could they come up with something as appalling as this. I have a hunch the responsible will not be found among technologists or artists.

Re " Management Books" [amazon.com]: Unless you've been "pushed" into becoming an Accounting Manager, after re-reading "The Wealth of Nations [amazon.com]" by Adam Smith [wikipedia.org], you may substitute them with anything from the "Self-Help", "New Age" or equivalent sections [amazon.com] of your local Barnes and Noble, or Amazon.com. These type of reading material should prove to be more entertaining while providing an equivalent amount of substance.
Works on human-manipulation techniques [humboldt.edu] -to be applied to the management of your "normals"- tend to be quite popular among managers even when the results of its application to intelligent human beings tend result in somthing risible. If contact with clients is mandated you might want to pick up a book or two on the subject of Illusionism [amazon.com].
If your topmost priority in life -besides food and shelter- is the acquisition of better-than- normal-quantities of money, you will feel very confortable in your new position. Anything else (including technical excellence of your supervised normal's work) must be second-to-profit unless you work for Google or plan to be a considered a mediocre manager. Referring to other humans you work with as "normals" -dare I not ask "As opposed to what?"- reflects an excellent disposition for management work.

Whatever happened to getting our (planetwise-our) spacefaring technologies ready for escape? It's only a matter of time before we (planetwise-we) crash and become one with old Sol. Maybe we should be content with sending Sea Monkeys on a probe according to this guy.

Computer Engineers writing software are usually supervised by Computer Scientists, they are clearly more qualified to make the important decisions.
More accurately in a software development organization:
programmer/developer/computer engineer = code monkeys of differing experience
architect = computer scientist who makes important, well-informed decisions

it would look like someone's stories are getting REJECTED.
i trully hope you're nine.
Congrats, Theo.
Not a fat chance. Pigs would fly before all that. No. It certainly wouldn't happen. Not a chance in many. Na-ah. Nope. BUAHAHAHAHA.

Excellent.
Humans have been killing each other since societal organization indirectly caused overpopulation. We must be new here. It must be normal.
Just humans as usual. ;)

It's filler.
This report fails to address the fungi that grows on my cds, as originally pointed out by Dr. Trías.
-"Where are the news? Does it really matter?"
-"To whom?"
-"To some fanatic.
-"Most probably."

I understand the benefits of "one fact, one place". That's why this is a link.
