Qwerty: you DO NOT want future employers to find this thread. I don't care how petty you think they would be for not hiring you - it's a real risk to your career. Patch your binary and replace the rant with something more moderate. People probably won't dig any deeper than that.

revisionist history does not work.
I used to have the following as my sig on slashdot
"Yes I make mistakes. Don't we all?"

Qwerty is young and will learn from this.

The first and best step he could do is to officially open the damned source so someone can push it to devel so we actually stop focusing on this thread

Jnwi is right. Also the other online version, better zap it.

Qwerty12, you've been a gentleman and a scholar to me.
Alas, I hardly knew ye. Good luck at finding greener pastures.

I can't delete threads in this section.

Even if I could, and did, it would probably just provide more fuel.

Not that I disagree, but things being how they are, qwerty, quo vadis?

If I was an employee, his rant would, quite honestly, go in favour of me employing him.

It shows he is human with emotion, someone who is not scared to stand up for something he belives in, instead of being pushed into a corner and forced to work in uncomfortable confines: he is not scared of sticking his head up and putting forth his objections to the direction a project is heading.
The fact his rant is as bold and vulgar as it is shows he has a true passion for what does best

If I was an employee, I would be damn pleased to have him as part of my team.

Why the hell would you want human employees when drones are so much more pliable?

Why would I want drones working for me? They are only good at doing the same thing over and over. They won't think for themselves.

I want (and hire) people that can think for themselves. They can take a job, run with it, and if they see a better / easier / faster / cheaper way to get the job done, they can ask / implement it. This keeps my business improving in efficiency and flexibility. This is what is needed to stay competitive.
