Re^5: The Social Network

I do think it's interesting and cool and I'm glad you brought it to everyone's attention; ++. I think you misinterpret the reasons no one is discussing it. You'd have to pay me $250 to watch this movie and I suspect many Perl hackers are in the same camp. We're interested and glad Perl got some props but the social networking story itself is intrinsically uninteresting to many of us.

Really!? Why? Why is the story of Facebook — however freely dramatized and fictionalized — "uninteresting" to Perl hackers? As so often happens, I don't get it.	[reply]

Maybe I shouldn't have looped in others though I think quite a few feel the same way but I despise Facebook. I wrote a handful of paragraphs explaining why, but it came off fairly offensive and insulting so instead of me being insulting I'll just let Mark Zuckerberg do it as he did when he described his users for their willingness--nay, their eagerness!--to throw away their privacy as "Dumb #µ¢%s."

I despise Hitler and Nazi Germany, but I like the movie Schindler's List (1993). You'll enjoy Catfish (2010), I think. It's about the dumbasses of Facebook.	[reply]
