    The whole thing feels very "old school Internet" in a way - a bunch of misfits with a manifesto and an intentionally simple website. It sounds like they were never able to bridge t…

    Disappointing that a website that touts itself for, among other things, "Open Source News", is missing the core definition issue in that headline: what is at issue here has zero to…

    What % of those sysadmins are then going to turn around and script something to auto-approve those updates, once they realize that they are A) requested at inconvenient times and B…
