My reality is more distorted than yours. Did the FSF just accuse Apple of violating a non-existent license by shipping non-existent software:
The iPhone is leaving people questioning: Does it contain GPLed software? What impact will the GPLv3 have on the long-term prospects for devices like the iPhone that are built to keep their owners frustrated?
In theory, there is no difference … Raganwald’s latest take on software project management is another valuable read. It’s too good to pick a single quote, so I’ll just say this. While one of the theories looks closer to reality and a better chance of success, it all boils down to:
___ is reality, and you ignore it at your peril.
I plead ignorance. I never quite thought about it that way. But it is true. And sad. How we learn to ignore science:

They had grown out of science.
Good vs Evil. It might very well be that:
- Many programmers have used very poor statically typed languages.
- Many programmers have used dynamically typed languages very poorly.
A comprehensive look at static and dynamic, at least compared to the flurry of Java-meets-Ruby posts crowding my feed reader. (Via Talk Like a Duck)
