Otter's Journal: Comments of the day

Dhalka226: "And people here should be some of the "experts" on the license."

GPL Apostate: "The only thing people here are 'experts' on is flaming each other."

You'd say ripping John Carmack over a (supposed) GPL violation is absurd, but this is the site where someone once flamed one of his comments on a story about graphic cards! Meanwhile, email from a management professor:

<<questions one.doc>>

The original set was sent in wordperfect; I have since learned many of you don't know what that is.

That's offensive that people not know about WP!

Make 'em use WordStar. I think it would be a suitable punishment for not knowing about past word processors. Maybe they'd learn to better appreciate what they have now.

AFAIK, WordPerfect is still widely used in the legal field, if not even still slightly more used.

Re:

This prof is a lawyer, otherwise I'd be wondering who else still uses WordPerfect.

Re:

Yes, I know. My father is a lawyer and uses WP extensively. In order to file documents electronically with the Federal courts, he needs to run everything through Adobe Acrobat to sign it (hooray proprietary portions of PDF!), but he still does all working composition with WP.

BTW, I was half-joking about the being offended. One can't reasonably expect that people indoctrinated with Word from the beginning would know about other word processors.
