you don't know what propaganda means
I'm sorry for the confusuion, but I generally attach a negative connotation to the word propaganda as it is almost always one sided and disregards any utily in the opposing view point and attempts to gloss over incosistencies in it's own content. I think most people would agree but I could be wrong.
I agree. That was very un-professional of him. If I were an IBM exec, I would be a little upset about that name drop. I love Linux but stuff like this is holding it back. Do we really want this to be the public perception of our Linux all-stars? What a self-absorbed asshole. He even referred to his own writings as propaganda.
I would have to agree. Having hard to locate/read comments is as bad as not having them at all. It may be a pain in the ass to do it to a large codebase, but it makes life easier down the road. I would rather spend 20 mins writing structured comments than 3 hours trying to figure out what purpose this function serves.
I can uderstand death penalties for people who cause the deaths of numerous other people, but harming companies' profits? Come on. Unless you author a virus with the intent that it shuts down a hospital's life support systems then you shouldn't get death.
Mine took a couple months to arrive. I finally got them last week from somewhere in the Netherlands. I've been handing them out and people seen happier to get an actual pressed cd set rather than CD-Rs.
It is essentially the same only sans hard copy documentation and incl. support you would get when buying the retail version. I believe that documentation is on the disk though so you wont miss much unless you need live help.

Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer already lost their marbles.
