dp-hackernews··on Occurences of swearing in the Linux kernel source code over time
People take offense, whether the other person intentionally gave it or not.

I choose not to be offended by anything what soever. Humor on the other hand is a lot harder to deal with.

dp-hackernews··on Occurences of swearing in the Linux kernel source code over time
If a comedian elicits a laugh from a person - who is at fault if the person laughs, the comedian or the person?

I would argue that the person is at fault. Unless you are suggesting one does not have a choice whether to laugh or not.

If that were true, then all comedians would either be funny, or not funny, for all people. That is simply not the case.

dp-hackernews··on The Network State
> "The publisher of this work is 1729. It’s named after the Ramanujan number, which symbolizes for us the dark talent: all those people from the middle of nowhere, passed over by the establishment, with crazy-but-correct ideas, who could do great things if only given the opportunity. These are exactly the kinds of people who we expect will found startup societies and network states."

dp-hackernews··on Why Schools Don't Educate (1990)
"For five years I ran a guerrilla school program where I had every kid, rich and poor, smart and dipsy, give 320 hours a year of hard community service. Dozens of those kids came back to me years later and told me that this one experience had changed their lives, had taught them to see in new ways, to rethink goals and values. It happened when they were thirteen, in my Lab School program — made possible only because my rich school district was in chaos. When “stability” returned, the lab closed. It was too successful, at too small a cost, to be allowed to continue; we made the expensive, elite programs look bad."

If the server entry is by DNS name then all is well, if by IP address, then its not so flexible and will complain/not-work.

I think there are plans to rectify this behavior in a future release though.
