More Than Five Top, Free Tools for Web Developers
,----[ Quote ]
| More and more, open source projects are either integrating with the web or
| are developed entirely for on-demand use. This requires strong web
| development skills--or at least good enough tools to rescue you if any of
| your web development skills are weak. The good news is that there are many
| free open source tools to help you with your web project, and given the costs
| of web development environments and the like, they can save you a lot of
| money. Here are more than five good examples.

I like my bazaar!
,----[ Quote ]
| A bazaar means choice, shopping malls, not the bleak shops of the Soviet era
| and - most of all - no high priests and Politbureau's. Being someone who has
| seen with his own eyes what dictatorship and elitarism can do to people in
| particular and society in general, I like my bazaar.

Why Do We Need Specialist Security Distros?
,----[ Quote ]
| Guardian Digital: These platforms exist to fulfill a significant need in the
| market. Many users want a hardened platform because locking down a system can
| be both difficult and time-consuming. The challenge of creating a secure
| foundation requires a holistic view over all of system resources, not only at
| default settings, but as configurations need to change. Hardened platforms,
| designed and built with security from the ground up, create a much more
| streamlined, integrated system that ensures a system can stay secure.

Philosophy of Non-Competition
,----[ Quote ]
| People periodically ask me about competition in the open source
| community, especially competition between various languages.
|
| One thing Microsoft seems to have figured out is that developers
| want multiple languages to choose from and will always want
| multiple languages to choose from. Diversity is an advantage,
| not a disadvantage. Ruby, for example, benefits from Perl, PHP,
| and Python's success, just like they benefit from Ruby's success.
| Java would likely never have been released as open source if it
| weren't for the success of the other languages. Having multiple
| successful open source languages each used by multiple successful
| projects makes it that much easier for companies to consider open
| source alternatives. The more the merrier.

Soviet Microsoft
,----[ Quote ]
| The New Soviet Union.
|
| Microsoft isn't evil for being Microsoft, but because its leadership
| values control above delivering good products or advancing the state
| of the art. Rather than competing in the market, Microsoft's
| leadership has pursued a strategy of repeatedly deceiving the market.
| The result has been decades of productivity losses that negatively
| impact the rest of the world's economy and distract humanity away from
| technical achievement to instead fiddle with shoddy software that is
| weak because it was developed outside of competitive pressure....
|
| However, the iron fist of resistance to outside ideas was as
| destructive to the USSR as the inbreeding of royalty was to Europe's
| empire nations before it. Microsoft is facing the same failure by
| arrogantly pushing old strategies and ignoring the potential of open
| source. Microsoft's anti-open rhetoric even sounds a lot like the
| Soviet's view of free markets, laced with fear-based propaganda that
| promises dire consequences for experimenting with the open source
| ideas that are already proven to work outside of the Red Square of
| Redmond....
