Comment Art vs Science (Score 2, Interesting) 579

In my opinion real software developers are more like artists than (computer) scientists.
If you look at artists for all the disciplines, you'll find that almost all of them could fit the concept of weirdness.
For the good and the bad.
Divergent thinkers are very often at the base of new (software) solutions to old problems or for a fresh new breakthrough..
So, yes, very likely developers look weird when compared to anyone else.

So maybe it's time for both kernel developers and distribution packagers to focus a little bit more on which hardware users are buying.
Which is not multi (4+) core servers, but rather cheap laptops and netbooks.
And, anyway, lower power consumption and better efficiency will probably also benefit the "big iron".

Comment Does Yahoo declare itself guilty for SPAM? (Score 1) 287

That schema would work only if Yahoo could be accounted for the most part of the SPAM.
And if Yahoo is not guilty for all the SPAM, then that move would work only if all free email services would follow.
And then you would need to force all ISPs to block TCP port 25.
And only then, maybe, you would be starting limiting the amount of spam!
