Quotes of the week
[Posted May 23, 2012 by corbet]
I'd like to make a couple of
(minor?) suggestions:
1. Label the "secret" operators that are encouraged (Venus, Bang bang, Eskimo
greeting, and maybe Babycart, I think) to distinguish them from the "obscure
to the uninitiated"....
2. I know what =()= is normally called. But as soon as you put "don't google
this", you know what's going to happen. At a bare (no pun intended) minimum,
it should be labelled as Not Safe For Work.

Conflict sells news stories. "OpenOffice and LibreOffice volunteers
work together on Community Support Forums" will never make a new
story. But 'Rob Weir Farts During Playing of LibreOffice National
Anthem" will be headline news and will be retweeted 100 times.
