He's making recompense for making JDBC part of the first exercise in a Python book. He'll return from the self-flagellation in two years after some time spent at a monastery. I fully expect his enlightenment will bring much into the world of programming.

You are being needlessly insulting to someone who could be in serious trouble.

Someone in serious trouble doesn't have time to throw a digital hissyfit. They're too busy humping it down to Mexico.

White people problems, pffft.

Edit: Besides, I did some good here! I helped you satisfy your daily quota of self-righteousness. You should be covered for the month by midnight tonight at this rate.

You'll be free to not be a sanctimonious cunt until November!

Holy shit, I was just using "Dive Into HTML5" at a hackathon this weekend. It helped a ton, I loved the way that site was designed. This is eery.

So check this out: Google "http error code 410" and the second hit is from diveintomark.org circa 2003. """ Let’s all talk about HTTP error code 410. ...

"Stand down Mark Pilgrim alert. Google, his employer, is on it. Thank you all. Hoping for “he’s just pissed off at Internet” as outcome."
