Thank you for kind words. I have been sick of slowness claims based
on Shootout.

Regarding Shootout, Ruby 1.9 runs as fast as (or even faster than)
Python or Perl. Praise should go to Koichi, the YARV originator.

Imagine how few hours that reporter would remain employed if she'd
tweeted "Bush shot and killed!"

What journalist merely refers to Osama bin Laden as just "Osama," if only
because of the potential for confusion? She should have referred to him as
"bin Laden" if she didn't want to use the full name.

For having done this, she now qualifies as a lightweight.

I hope this is verified: the source you quoted is the right-wing Daily
Caller. I suppose they would not create a lie about this.
