"more focused, aware, effective, capable, respected, delighted, and at ease."
Wow! If it also made me more continent, gas free, fresh, and leave me with cleaner hair, it would be perfect!
I am NOT by any means defending this guy, but I think he was probably referring to the somewhat obtuse way that open source projects are documented which can give the appearance of incompetence, which has been a long time complaint of mine.
Everybody hates documentation if you're a coder, but having an attitude of RTFC helps no one if you are looking to compare an OS project to a paid alternative.
I'm not suggesting that this is for all projects, but it is far to common and must change to really enter the mainstream.
I'm sorry, perhaps you need to qualify disaster. Prior to my reading this, I thought the 100 million (now estimated) accounts compromised in the TJX breach or the approximately 100 million in the Heartland Payment Systems breach, were just that - disastrous.
Many years ago, the town of Radium Hot Springs, New Mexico, offered to change their name to "Truth or Consequences" to win a prize from the TV show of the same name. They thought it would bring in business, and notoriety. It's still a pretty quiet town, though it does have an amusing name... especially when the abbreviation (T or C) is pronounced as a word.
I think that the concept extends to the fact that personalized news is news that I agree with. That is in fact the basis after all of the CNN=Left, Fox=Right.
My personal opinion is that it is never quite that simple and listening to the other side gives me a fresh perspective on a topic, issue, story or movement.
To me, listening to someone repeat my own opinion back to me all the time, is ignorant.
I disagree. And Napolitano's "It's working" would be right if the "It's" she's referring to is the traveling public. Tim Lister put it better than I've ever heard. He said "The problem is that there was a fundamental flaw in our thinking. On September 10th, 2001, we assumed that everyone who got on an airplane, wanted to get off alive. Now we know better."

Ummm, Cobol's dead? Cobol 2002 Standard
I wonder where we can take a look at this app. Anybody know?

Really... If ever a story reeked of being purchased. I guess we know where those "expert" house's crystal balls are made.
Yeah, but not a warmed over, super-sized Apollo capsule. Is that it for innovation out of NASA? Modernized 40 year old capsules?
Is that anything like "The Google?"
Great... Like there's not enough wine snobs.
I thought we had dealt with this years ago Toilet
What am I thinking?
This was under development before the dot com bust because back then we were going to run out of bandwidth within 3 years.

Indeed... and on and on... with the generous supply of 'victims' this will supply to mesothelioma minded lawyers.
Don't worry. There will almost certainly be another opportunity. This thing just won't die.

While I applaud your use of the cat, I think we need to ask the larger question: Was this guy institutionalized?
Guns don't kill people, Jolly Ranchers do.
Yeah, that's the thing I like about sweeping generalities. They are always right on the money.

Tell me more about how it (they) reproduce!
More accurately, shouldn't the heading read "Bill gates wants to sell what you did last summer?"

Which is still more than I need
Why didn't they do this years ago?
What does this mean for those who have their surname owned by a cyber squatter that wants a buzillion dollars for the domain?
