I always wonder what some names really mean. For example, before I read the article I assumed "lightspeed" was an indicator of... well... something else.
I wish the article would say a little more about how he got started and also how he got his wife and mom?!? (wtf?) involved. That just seems odd. I wonder how many porn company owners have either their wife or mother working for them?
"...he and his wife mostly socialize with others inside the porn business.." And that's a bad thing? Damn, I wish I had those problems!
For those bitching that this isn't news: maybe you're right, but put the word "porn" in the title and it'll get posted on slashdot!
That has to be one of the most difficult jobs in Debian. I couldn't imagine having to deal with over a thousand maintainers/developers all screaming for something different. So good luck to the new DPL!
A few things that would be good for this year:
1. Get AMD64 release into the main pool, enough already. Don't wait until December or whatever for Etch - just get it done!
2. Get security.d.o mirrored on a few more servers.
3. Try and trim the releases down to every 12 months (or less!) and drop the "when it's ready" attitude because that just drives people away.
4. (related to #3) If it's broken, don't include it, but don't hold up a release because of it - put it in "proposed updates" or something when it's fixed.
5. If it's ready for most archs, but not one (i.e. m68k) release anyway and m68k can just play catch up...
I don't think anyone cares unless.. Wait, it makes more sense like this:
"...figure out how gigabytes or terabytes of PR0N information will be saved for future generations..."
Now we have a problem that needs to be solved. Get to it!

I'd love to extend the battery life of my laptop but not if it is like the fuel cell in Terminator 3: http://mag.awn.com/issue8.04/8.04images/T301_T3_fu elCell_explosion.jpg
