The Underground History of American Education
You aren’t compelled to loan your car to anyone who wants it, but you are compelled to surrender your school-age child to strangers who process children for a livelihood.... If I demanded you give up your television to an anonymous, itinerant repairman who needed work you’d think I was crazy; if I came with a policeman who forced you to pay that repairman even after he broke your set, you would be outraged. Why are you so docile when you give up your child to a government agent called a schoolteacher?

PHP-Con is doing humorous interviews with some of the speakers to promote the event.  Here's the one with John Coggeshall:

When was your first PHP?

John Coggeshall: Sitting in a darkened smoke filled room... I was almost out of money but a friend of mine told me she [PHP] was good for a trick or two and didn't charge much.

His comments on Perl, Java, and Visual Basic are really good.  You can read more of this over at the PHP- Con site.

For Sun , Microsoft Settlement Is No
Joke 04/19/2004 11:03 AM
We may miss Scott McNealy's jabs at Microsoft, but the money from the recent settlement will inject new life into Sun, which badly needs a transfusion. Many of us are just now coming to grips with the most serious implication of the April 2 settlement between Sun and Microsoft: Scott McNealy's keynote speeches just got a lot duller. The Sun CEO has made a career of his stand-up routine over the years, entertaining thousands with such classic zingers as calling Windows the "giant hairball"; Active Directory, "Captive Directory"; and .Net, "Dot Not" or "Not Yet." And, in case of computer crashes, "Call 1-800-CTL-ALT-DEL."

Companies Who Can't Take A Joke, But Can
Push A Lie

Companies Who Can't Take A Joke, But Can
Push A Lie 02/12/2004 02:16 PM
It's no secret that, on the internet, if you don't like something and try to get it taken down, you're only going to draw a lot more attention to it. However, corporations still haven't gotten this message. They seem to get especially annoyed at parodies, complaining that people might be tricked by them. Here's an article that takes these companies to task for not being able to take a joke, while at the same time having so-called "independent" organizations that are paid by them set up advocacy websites that are nothing more than a front for the company or group in question. In other words, companies get upset about advocacy that goes against them and try to force the sites down, worrying that people will get "confused." At the same time, they're hiding the fact that they're behind these other advocacy sites (which, some might say is confusing readers, as well). As the writer of the article points out, even if they're right, they're doing themselves harm by not being upfront and honest about these sites: "The more successful the strategy in the short term, the more it will eventually corrode trust in the long. People persuaded by such sites will feel betrayed when it becomes evident they were duped. And it won't even matter if the pseudo sites have truth on their side: when a messenger is exposed as an impostor, their credibility is destroyed." Another example of short-term thinking from corporations that do them much more damage in the long term.
