Article: Stables and Volatiles

> Lastly and most importantly, these guys and gals hate -- hate -- each other. Volatiles believe Stables are fat, lazy, and bureaucratic. They believe Stables have become "The Man." Meanwhile, Stables believe Volatiles hold nothing sacred and are doing whatever they please, company or product be damned. Bad news: everyone is right.

If this article is representative of its overall quality, I'll be seriously considering a subscription to Marco Ament's The Magazine.

"Towards the 29th Century, TechnoCore had split into three factions: the Volatiles, who wished to exterminate humanity altogether, the Ultimates, who were concerned only with the UI project, and the Stables, who wished to leave humanity intact"
