Top 11 Reasons You haven't contributed to an open source project
11. Agoraphobia. I'm afraid of open spaces.
10. Will I need a compiler for that?
9. I'm prohibited by the terms of my probation, because of the last time I "shared" source code.
8. I'm too busy mucking up my own code to muck up other people's code.
7. Does my MP3 playlist count?
6. The projects to which I want to contribute are all so good already, and the projects that need my contribution aren't good enough to be associated with.
5. "Copylefting"? Is that anything like cow tipping?
4. He who owns the code lives happily ever after ... with royalties.
3. I just can't bring myself to pattern my life after the namesake of a blanket-dragging, thumb-sucking member of the Peanuts crew.
2. I'm still trying to figure out how to use WebTV to upload my PERL module to C-SPAN.
(Rendered as if typed on a typewriter, one character at a time):
The requested document is not here.
Zip.
Nada.
Nothing.
Even tried multi.
Nothing helped.
I'm really depressed about this.
You see, I'm just a Web server...
Here I am, brain the size of the universe
Trying to serve you a simple Web page
And then it doesn't even exist!
Where does that leave me?!
I mean, I don't even know you.
How should I know what you wanted from me?
You honestly think
I can *guess*
What someone I don't even *know*
wants to find here?
*sigh*

Just where is the peripheral market heading?
First we had lollipop colors, then those slim titanium cases and snowy white orbs. But now Mac-loving manufacturers have gone too far with what is perhaps the ultimate expression of '50s kitsch: Hubzilla. Built by CharisMac, this cute and cuddly destroyer of cities doubles as a four-port Firewire hub. Fortunately for small fishing villages everywhere, the owners of Godzilla, Toho Co. Ltd., intervened litigiously, forcing CharisMac to rename their product. Otherwise we shudder to think of what might have followed. Perhaps the Monster Zero DVD burner or Mothra Mouse?
