Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

LoL and now I know

It'd be like insisting all carpenters on the job use Estwing hammers.

Yet, there are IT companies who do insist on shit like that. They do so in the name of consistency and standardization.

While you do need standards and consistency, you need it in results. If a developer wants to use an IDE, let 'em. If they work best in VIM with a custom tool--chain, let 'em. Bug reports should be standard, HR interactions should be standard, reports should be standard, interactions with clients should be consistent, etc...

If it's just a tool, it doesnt matter.

So long as what you get out the other end meets the requirements - including standards - tools really don't matter.

That's what's different with Linux. Our shit's opensource. There's no proprietary extensions/file types (unless you want them).
