I don't understand how anyone can believe it's safer to be unrestrained and free to bounce around the cabin in a crash.
It's definitely cheaper, though. And, maybe more importantly, banning kids who won't stay buckled up would be very unpopular.

How to monetize this? In general, how to monetize being funny/entertaining (on the web)?

I agree with you. Just posting to say that there is an HTTP server in Erlang that's supposed to be very good: Yaws.

This successfully trolled me, because I think Haskell is really good stuff made by really smart and cool people. Surely there was a better target for satire.
I'm an industry programmer (in C). I also have a bunch of packages on Hackage.

I think he made a lot of good choices. These days I would pick tmux over screen and newsbeuter over snownews.
ion really was a great and influential window manager, but now, it'd probably be better to pick XMonad, awesome, or i3.
vimperator has been a lifesaver for me, but I'm switching to luakit because it doesn't seem to allow flash to steal the keyboard focus.

I was just about to badmouth his tool choices when I noticed that the post is from 2006.
