5:55:56 PM   "Software developer documentation is like weather everybody talks about it, but nobody does anything about it." "Good software documentation is like pornography: it's hard to define, but I know it when I see it." Software Documentation Is Like Weather and Pornography. What is good software documentation? What do you use? What categories exist? What tools do you use? What sounds useful but isn't? What would you most like to see? Stop complaining and start writing. [via Artima Weblogs]

5:46:07 PM   Dell Has No Plans to Use AMD Chips in Its Products. Company says it targets the corporate market, which "has not yet found confidence in AMD." [Computerworld News]  //   This is what I've been known to call krap.   A few years ago one might have been leary of an AMD machine but this went by the wayside long ago.

5:34:48 PM   Report: Colorado coach encouraged rape victim not to pursue charges. A Boulder police report quotes CU football coach Gary Barnett as telling an alleged rape victim that he would "take care of this problem" and make sure the alleged attacker, one of his players, "got treatment." He also reportedly told the woman he "would back his player 100% if she took this forward in the criminal process." [Drudge Retort] // Gary Barnett at his finest.   This guy is clueless.

5:12:00 PM   SI.com: The Whole Story ? Barnett's reaction to allegations shows he's clueless - or caallous

2:48:01 PM   Oh and then there is Willam Hung.  This guy cracked us all up doing his She Bangs on AI and apparently he is getting more than his 15 minutes -  'American Idol' Reject Idolized by Web.

2:21:43 PM   Gary Barnett ?  knucklehead !  This guy has had it coming since he weaseled his way out of Northwestern.   EZ hits it on the head with this from EZN:: GOOFUS AND GALLANT, COLORADO-STYLE The statement: "She was awful! Katie was a girl. And not only was she a girl, she was terrible, OK? And there's no other way to say it."... Colorado football coach Gary Barnett, responding to the allegation by kicker Katie Hnida that she had been raped by a fellow player when she was on the team in 1999. The right way to apologize: I spoke out of frustration at the accumulation of these recent allegations of sexual misconduct related to our football program, and I recognize now that Ms. Hnida's level of talent was both a wholly inappropriate thing for me to comment on under the circumstances and completely irrelevant to whether her very serious charges are true or not. I apologize to her and to her family for pain my remarks caused them. The wrong way to apologize: I sincerely regret that yesterday a portion of my remarks were either misinterpreted or aired out of context and I apologize for answering that question in a matter where I must have come across as insensitive. I don't have to tell you which approach Barnett chose yesterday, setting what looks like a new standard for grudging, insincere apologies. Readers of this page dubbed such apologies "weasologies," but perhaps a better name for them now would be "barnetts." Those of us from the Chicago area aren't surprised. We knew Barnett was a weasel in January of 1999 when, less than three years after signing a 12-year contract with Northwestern and swearing his life-long allegiance to the university's football program, he left to take the Colorado job.
