Hmm, I had the exact same thought, but about the 'religionists'.

My first coding job was at NIST (then NBS). I took code written by engineers, and made it usable by someone other than the engineer who wrote it. In most cases the input UI consisted of a '?' prompt at which you were to enter a comma separated list of floating point numbers, and the output UI consisted of a block of comma separated floating point numbers. The more interesting part of the assignment was eliminating inputs that could be derived from other inputs. You would have thought that an engineer would have done that without thinking about it - mostly not.

Maybe there wasn't enough space in the margin.

Neither do they.

So, are we talking Stuxnet, or Iocane powder?

At one point I was driving a semi to make ends meet
while the IT scene was recovering (circa 2002/03 ish).
I stopped at some fast food joint in Minnesota. It took
me a while to realize that the lady behind the counter
actually was speaking English. She couldn't understand me
either.

You don't need to go that far back

The "good" behavior of the Vatican, just like most institutions
is mostly based on what they believe they can get away with.

At least not lately...

They will simply not package the closed source version, ship the last open source one and deprecate the use of Mono for the future. Remember: there is no lock-in with Free Software. It cannot happen, period.

It appearsAlexBirch's point missed you: SharePoint Server replaces several uses of HTTP servers such as IIS, Lighttpd, and Apache. The idea is to switch the intranet from web apps to SharePoint and reserve the web servers for customer-facing sites.

People who want to work for/shill for/suck up to Microsoft directly or indirectly should do that.

Those who don't support that sort of thing should work to cut them off at the knees by not using their software and discouraging others from doing so.

Rosa Parks broke the law also.
For similar reasons.

OK, that last bit was unnecessary. I regretted it just after
I hit submit - Sorry.

Even realizing it isn't chili (which i knew the first time I laid eyes on it)
It is still just plain nasty. Like a thin bean paste that leaves a chalky residue
in your mouth like a chewable antacid. Once was one too many.

Bye the way, I was raised on Tex-Mex so maybe my standards are high, or maybe I
just have standards.

The native Cincinnatians seem to love La' Roses pizza,
along with the SkyLine chili. Neither of which is
palatable to me.

If you are in Cincy, give La' Roses pizza a try.
If you can stomach it I will take full credit for
turning you on to a taste treat!
