That last blog is frickin' hilarious. The front page talks about "compassion" while labelling a segment of people "towelheads". This paradox points to this being a somewhat unreliable source of anything worthwhile :?

Well it's a satire site. I was pretty sure it was all just a joke, so I looked to the comments and someone confirmed it:

I know this site is a long running joke, but no doubt there are people who take it seriously.
(from this page)

Just in case any of you thought that that site was for real.. which it looks like a couple of you may have believed. ;)

I sure hope it is satire - but it's hard to tell really!

There have been several parodies out there related to Open Source, Linux and even PHP. They are funny. Read them only if you intend to laugh. If you want to take them seriously, well, just don't.
