Damn. Up to now I pretty much had a 100% personal batting average when it
comes to Stallman. IMO he mostly doesn't have a leg to stand on in ANY of
his opinions. He is, in general, a clown. His previous programming work
was excellent. His advocacy work has been less than zero. Peter Woit has

should learn more before starting such a thread.
Yes, HP can't stop him.
There is actually a book about HP that will answer your questions - called
"The Big Lie" by Anthony Bianco. It is an in-depth story of the rise,

Sorry, the previous person was Edward, and he is onto something with the

I think Rakesh is on to something here. There is a LOT of disagreement
around best practices.
However, I think within an organization you can tame the issues if you set
the required code standards and follow them religiously. Code reviews and
Design reviews, though, are also really important if

Generally I stay out of the programming languages discussions, since they go
nowhere.
But the statement that only de Icaza is the only one doing interesting
things with .NET is just plain crap. A couple of points first - I'm not
employed by MS and I didn't like their tactics in the past.
