Whose livelihood was threatened because they said Merry Christmas? How does the “PC police” outlaw Christmas and ban it in name? What actual consequences would you face if you said all this on Twitter? This would seem very concerning, but your rant is so over-the-top yet so vague at the same time that I find it hard to swallow. What are you *actually* so outraged about?

(At any rate, i prefer to say “Happy holidays” simply because there’s more than one holiday happening this month and keeping things more general avoids undue assumptions – and avoiding assumptions about one’s environs is a key thing in both programming and in life.)

This year it’s on VICE hosted on NetBSD.

Merry Christmas and thanks for the interesting stuff…

Thanks, and a Merry Christmas to you!

I’ve been spending way too much time on health monitors, F5’s and dumping stats into c#…. not retro, and not fun either. sigh.
