K5, I'm disappointed in you.  On October 19 I was watching CNN and was hearing that someone was threatening dirty bomb attacks on football stadiums. Obviously fearmongering media idiocy, complete with ex-FBI call-in talking heads throughout the morning/ early afternoon. Obviously a slow newsday for CNN to report the workings of Internet trolls... but that's what bothered me the most: what Internet troll had created this glorious shitstorm?  Ever since our crowning achievement last year in the science of Internet trolling, I've been looking forward to K5 topping that supremely asocial event. So when it was finally announced who the culprit was on October 20th, I was severely depressed. Because this guy was beyond pathetic. Which led me to the inevitable realization: it should have been one of us.

I see that Cory Doctorow has made another panicked grab at relevancy once again! His most recent InformationWeek article, How To Keep Hostile Jerks From Taking Over Your Online Community, is his latest exercise in self-deception where he tries convincing himself that he knows something about the hip, happenin' thang we call the Innanet.        That Cory has little useful knowledge of keeping hostile jerks from taking over online communities is proven most aptly and amusingly by the way he chose to keep hostile jerks from taking over his weblog BoingBoing: he destroyed its community by shutting off its comments system.

In response to this recent article from the Hiveminds website, Marco Tabini has a few choice words about some of the topics they cover in the article, and cover incorrectly.   Over the last few years, I've made it a point of trying to respond to at least some of the "PHP is dead"-type articles that crop up on the Net from time to time. The latest one comes from Hiveminds and reveals a complete misunderstanding of almost every point it covers.   He notes that though the article seems to be a coherent whole for why PHP is dwindling, it's "based on nothing more than a string of misinformed concepts cobbled together to give the appearance that the author knows what he or she is talking about". Marco comes back against each of the points made in the article, setting things right and eliminating some of the FUD (fear, uncertainly, and doubt) that the Hiveminds article spreads.
