You joke, however, contrary to what you read on here, the print media industry is thriving. A lot of people prefer the newspaper format and brick-and-mortar companies prefer brick-and-mortar advertising (think supermarket chains et al., they have no reason to advertise on the internet) so they shell out thousands in advertising. As a geek working in the industry, I wish Rupert would throw himself under a bus as he's giving us a bad name.

This is hardly news. Get back to us when they can move Emacs or Vim-sized objects.

"Your job is being a professor and researcher: That's one hell of a good excuse for some of the brain-damages of Minix."
"An infinite number of monkeys typing into GNU emacs would never make a good program."
"Your problem has nothing to do with git, and everything to do with emacs. And then you have the _gall_ to talk about "unix design" and not gumming programs together, when you yourself use the most gummed-up piece of absolute sh*t there is!"
"When you say "I wrote a program that crashed Windows", people just stare at you blankly and say 'Hey, I got those with the system, *for free*'."
"My personal opinion of Mach is not very high. Frankly, it's a piece of crap. It contains all the design mistakes you can make, and even managed to make up a few of its own."
"In short: just say NO TO DRUGS, and maybe you won't end up like the Hurd people."
"Personally, I'm _not_ interested in making device drivers look like user-level. They aren't, they shouldn't be, and microkernels are just stupid."

And I didn't even get that far down the page.

Then again, if it was between him and de Raadt ...

"If Microsoft ever does applications for Linux it means I've won." - Linus Torvalds

Give it another hour ... The absence of at least one of Torvalds, Stallman, ESR, Larry Wall, or even just a pro-OSS person we have actually heard of will have people screaming (perhaps rightfully so).

I think you are right in that I got Drupal confused with Joomla.

It was to demonstrate that there were holes being actively exploited in Drupal in the past. I knew there were holes because I remembered seeing the Morfeus scanner (as I mentioned above) guessing various webapp-related URI's in my logs, but as Bozovision pointed out above I must have had Drupal confused with Joomla (both PHP, both weird names).

So eat the oxygen producing plants and leave the methane producing cows?

Drupal really has not been known for its security in the past; try Googling "drupal exploit", and I'm sure most webmasters are familiar with the "morfeus fucking scanner" user-agent that appears in logs from time to time checking for (among other things) active Drupal-related links (admin pages etc) to exploit.

Maybe is has improved since the last time I paid any attention to it, I assume is would have been given an audit before being deployed on a Government website? That would be great for open source; "Open Source Software hacked, Govt website replaced with Goatse, Microsoft says 'I told you so'" ... It would be a media-fueled nightmare of FOSS if this goes wrong.

You make robots to help the elderly so you name your company after one that built robots which destroy most of humanity and declare war on what is left ... "Clever" probably isn't the term you were looking for.

A friend had a problem with a CD burner app (Nero I think?) and asked me to take a look at it (they weren't too tech savvy). So I took a look and Googled the error and found that it was a problem with a registry key that would screw randomly. The fix was to delete it and if the error came back the fix was to change it to a specific value (which would cause nagging warnings but not make the program fail outright, so deleting it first was the better solution). So when I had fixed it I told him offhandedly, not expecting him to understand, that it was a problem with the registry and if it happens again to give me a call. So a week later he calls and says it had the same problem but I didn't need to come round because he had found a registry cleaner, for cheap, only $39.95... I never mention the word "registry" to non-tech people now.

Oh shit, you're right. "Terrific, friendly, articulate article". ;-)
