True story from IRC about how to make sh*t from opensource. It is just my way of thinking.
Opensource should be a god's light. You may judge me for saying or doing this in a rough way... but i stand my ground for opensource. and this is just my way of doing things. i will never use a help of dark lords of proprietary software.
Real nicks(and a project name/version too) are replaced with "some_other_developer" and "Project_Lead_Developer". I don't really...
I've heard through the grapevine that IE8 is the last version of the IE browser. Is microsoft throwing in the towel?
They've got to be coming up with a replacement. Some are claiming that Microsoft will go with WebKit, which, thanks to the popularity of Apple's Safari browser and also Google's Chrome, is rapidly becoming a standard for all non-IE and non-Firefox implementations.

As much as I generally am not a fan of Microsoft’s OS, dealing with it...
Today is 1st June 2009. I have fired up the ‘Internet Explorer 8’ – a Microsoft web browser offering. I type just ‘slackware.org’ in the address bar. The circular motion on the tab started. More it takes time to load the page; more I dread. I dread the live.com search engine web page. Even; if you type the complete web page link given by live.com, say for example slackware.org; its still going to return live.com web page L.
OOPS!! I strayed away. Instead of being represented with...
