    I actually agree with you. I thought my post would be downvoted anyway, so I didn't care about being a bit hyperbole. I really didn't want such a huge discussion here, I'd rather h…

    Actually the move has and always had a 5 year time frame. We are well within it. As a side note, I just yesterday tried out the Django 1.5 development trunk in a python3 virtualenv…

    These are no "hackers" if they do this for a violent and evil dictator. They are the equivalent of the propaganda sheep in the third reich and nothing more. They are on the wrong s…

    Linux on the desktop isn't doomed at all. People saying the opposite are either naive or have interests to lie about it. I am absolutely sure that Microsoft and Apple are fighting …

    Well, we'll see if this is legal in Europe. Website cookies are regulated already here, I guess this sort of abuse will have to be stopped as well. Shame on Microsoft for another o…
