Towards a Practical Theology of Peer Review
Via davej: “There are no managers at Centaur. Instead, employees report to Centaur founder and President, Glenn Henry”.
There are 85 employees there according to Google. It sounds like living hell to me. Maybe all of those people are both really competent and really nice, but I find it a bit difficult to believe.
Dear Threadless, isn’t it really, really stupid that it’s impossible to see the designs in your T-shirt lists?
What I find most surprising about this guy:
is not that he spent 6 months of his life listening in on the Diana inquest with stuff scrawled over his face, but that he’s not a Diana conspiracist!
etbe: I’m confused by your comments in that opinion article - were you misquoted? How did “advised by your lawyer not to look at code” become “OpenSolaris isn’t FOSS” ? BTW, whenever you ask a lawyer a can-I question, they’ll always tell you no :) I’m presuming you’re not willing to share the details of this legal opinion.
OK, maybe scum is a little over the top, but I really do hate how lazy
advertisers are.
Current bone of contention being this advert:

(I was also going to moan about the Crusha advert, but turns out Joel actually did that one, so fair enough.)

of fictional police drivers.
Annoyingly it’s not on iPlayer, or even anywhere else. Bah.
