    Is this really 'do no harm'?

  2. Joomla is great! on Joomla! 1.5 Beginner's Guide · · Score: 2, Informative

    Joomla is simply some of the best FOSS available.

    I am an 'Average Joe C programmer' and have used Joomla to create at least 4 simple sites in under a weekend of work (including writing my own templates, and components).

    My only complaint with Joomla has been that the CMS does not have automated way to download and install CMS/component/template/module updates (e.g. something like apt-get update/upgrade). Unless you keep on top of security patches your site is very likely to be cracked within a year in my experience. However, that said, if you keep on top of the updates the you're likely to save yourself a whack of work by using Joomla.

    Joomla 1.0.x, and 1.5.x, have both been amazing and keep getting better IMOP! I look very forward to 1.6!!

  8. Improvements? on BioShock 2's First DLC Already On Disc · · Score: 1

    So will user feedback be included in the update? Will the game be any better? I expect no on both accounts. Sounds like someone needs to take some lessons from Valve.

    OH PLEASE! Teachers pick text books on the grounds that: - the book is affordable by school/students - the book is useful Technology used in school should be selected on these same rules! Let's not fart around here ... this is a really easy choice these days ... just go grab ubuntu/debian/fedora etc and move with your life instead of having BS meeting about "Computers are hard!" Computers are in fact VERY EASY ... much like a good text book!
