- abbathdoom, on 02/20/2009, -3/+21Further proof that the open source development model will become the defacto for nearly all software going forward.
- thenativeraver, on 02/21/2009, -0/+10Open Source is the way forward.
- PhilBG, on 02/20/2009, -8/+15Awesome! Great to see a huge media like WT is going for open source projects :)
- dustinl4m3, on 02/21/2009, -1/+7The Washington Times != The Washington Post
- Ratteler, on 02/21/2009, -0/+5Don't you mean. "Embrace it and you might survive unlike those RIAA dinosaurs."
- d2002, on 02/21/2009, -1/+6Embrace it and you might survive like those RIAA dinosaurs.
- sirhomer, on 02/21/2009, -0/+5That's funny because all I had to do was:
sudo apt-get install python-django
Seriously. - laterthandawn, on 02/21/2009, -3/+8Smart. Really smart. Smartest move I've seen a captain of the old newspaper industry make yet.
- d2002, on 02/21/2009, -0/+5Yes sir.
*hangs head in shame* - strictnein, on 02/21/2009, -0/+4"This "newspaper" loses money every year it has been around"
So it's like every other newspaper for the past 10 years? - srg13, on 02/21/2009, -0/+4"Downloading Django...wait, i need Python"
Yeah, you really wouldn't expect that a python framework would need python to run, would you? - NippleNutz, on 02/21/2009, -6/+10Offtopic troll is offtopic.
- dustinl4m3, on 02/21/2009, -7/+11Freakin Moonies.
- HonoredMule, on 02/21/2009, -0/+4Silly neanderthal...don't try do do ANYTHING server-useful on Windows. :-)
- mabl, on 02/21/2009, -0/+3The great thing is that they use Python with the django Framewok - yeah.
- Ratteler, on 02/21/2009, -0/+3Don't worry about it. I made a mistake once myself. :-p
- donttrip700, on 02/21/2009, -2/+5Yea, the Times is pretty *****, and it has a ridiculously low circulation.
- mrmudgeon, on 02/21/2009, -2/+5Partisan content is still content. Would you call Huffpo stories content?
- richirwin, on 02/21/2009, -4/+7"The Washington Times has always focused on content."
Ha. Haha. Hahahaha.
The Washington Times has always focused on being partisan.
Buried for moonie *****. - suprchunk, on 02/21/2009, -0/+3Crack pops.
- strictnein, on 02/21/2009, -0/+2What did you have for dinner?
- connieLingus, on 02/21/2009, -0/+2yeah...i prefaced my whole comment with me being a win/xampp Neanderthal...the whole point i was trying to make is that "don't try this with windows"
- syphonist, on 02/21/2009, -0/+2I'm happy to see it.
- calvincooper66, on 07/27/2009, -0/+1What are those right-wing nutjobs up to?
Sounds like an evil plot. - Pxtl, on 02/21/2009, -2/+3Washington Post is a captain of the old newspaper industry. Washington Times is a far-right paper bankrolled by the Moonies.
See also the New York Post. Notice something about the names?
I know a genuine Panaphonics when I see it. And look, there’s Magnetbox and Sorny! - sharkd, on 02/21/2009, -11/+12When you said: "The Washington Times has always focused on content."
What you meant to say: "The Washington Times has always focused on Moon-bat, crazy-as-*****, contrived, manufactured content." - micahmn, on 02/21/2009, -3/+4This "newspaper" loses money every year it has been around. It's just a right-wing moonie rag and huge joke here in D.C.
I would take this move as more of a death kiss for the future of Open Source :) - ianryerson, on 02/21/2009, -2/+2Open Source is the new way of the future. Things are created so much faster.
- strictnein, on 02/21/2009, -2/+2This is Digg. Left wing = content. Right wing = partisan.
- dustinl4m3, on 02/21/2009, -8/+7He's right though. The Washington Times is a relatively recent creation of the Unification Church. You know, "Reverend" Sun Myung Moon, aka, the Moonies?
- Mejogid, on 02/21/2009, -5/+3I fully support open source, but this is anything but that proof. This is a very specific case of a content distributor releasing custom software, as opposed to a software developer releasing their projects under an FOSS liscence.
- connieLingus, on 02/21/2009, -7/+3so i threw a url into my SVN client, downloaded what to seemed to be the most interesting project (massmedia), ran Apache, then discovered it need Django to run i guess...
downloading Django...wait, i need Python, *****. good news a nice a .msi for us xampp Neanderthals. great another language to learn (this make 6 or 7 now, give or take), but im cool with that. oh the irony....python is written in C, the first language i learned over 20 years ago...why do people keep building new languages using C...C wasn't perfect but i guess it was good enough to use to build Python, PHP, and probably Ruby?
installed Python...now i guess i need Django, which is probably some sort of framework that connects my new python interpreter/compiler to the wonderful world of the web. *****, already a bug...the installer put the files in "Python30", but the docs told be to set the path to "Python3"...easy fix. YEA...got the "python" CMD to work.
back to Django...*****, it looks pretty complicated!! i am just getting my head around Zend framework for PHP, now here i go agian...is there a good IDE for python?? hope so step-through debugging is such a timesaver.
OH NO! Django considers mySQL a ""large" database engine", so i will have to download another library...
enough is enough, for now...does the washington time really expect people to go through all this??? i am all for open source and develop with it professionally, but this is kinda crazy. - CrazyChester, on 02/21/2009, -20/+15The Wash Times can become completly open-source, but it will still be a worthless right-wing rag with less credibility than the National Enquirer.
- schrankage, on 02/21/2009, -11/+5kind of like an open sewer.
