The fact that god-tube is on this list is an immediate SU thumbs down! wtf are you thinking?? As for the others, eh.. Good job on listing Mint, i suppose
Zed is a dick, but that's why I love him. I saw him at Defcon 15 when he did his Utu speech, and it really had overtones of the same fed-up pissed-off zed in the rant. Honestly I've met some of the ruby big-wigs up here in portland and sometimes I get the same vibe. I think it's just a comment on how pretentious the tech community can be (maybe ESPECIALLY the fledgeling rails community)... One thing that's stuck in my mind since the day I saw z were the last words at his speech in the DC conf - he threw it at us really hard, really solid that we were living in a real police state, and that no silver "Tor" bullet is gonna change that. That shit stuck with me because Zed sticks. I'm bummed he's leaving too.
I can't believe Zed and DT are both on you blog dude! stirring up the feathers, clearly!
