Julia is a first name which is free of negative association. Bro is associated with obnoxious, stupid, despicable, disrespectful.

To me it's not a gender issue, it is that bro is synonym for obnoxious, annoying, stupid, disrespectful among others.

This is why you don't get a terrible name for your idea if you want it to succeed.

With a user provided content database, you have a problem: users can input crap content. So you devise a way for user to sort the crappiest from the less crappy and now you have two problems, and so on.

You're missing the point. It's not about being offensive but about being self-explanatory. For this initiative to be successful it needs to have a wide support and large user base which is not gonna happen with a name based on an

Man is a pager interface to system documentation, the content is written y knowledgeable people and is actual documentation. Bro is a user provided database of one liner command which you have no idea if they will do what they claim when th

Could your statement be more wrong ? To most people english is a foreign language which makes it improbable they would get a play on english slang words. 'bro' is not even loosely related to man: man is a pager interface for syste

The name is terrible. Here are a few suggestions of names: - ccex for common case examples - howdoi for how do I - comcasex for common case examples - usex for use examples - usagex for usage examples - howtouse for how to use - ill-namedpo

You got it all wrong, the name of a command has to be practical and be related the actual use of the command. Naming your command based on an inside joke renders it pretty useless to those outside who don't get the joke and hard to fin

This doesn't mean dewitt point is invalid. From the point of view of someone outside of USofA bro is portrayed in the movies and the internet exactly as dewitt and urban dictionary says. A loud and obnoxious fraternity guy with partyin

I'm not sure where you got this idea that bro means "friend". To me it's more like what the urban dictionary says http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bro 1. Obnoxious partying males who are of

I'm not a woman and I had an instant instinctive rejection reaction to the title of this post. I made a conscious effort to click anyway to see what this was about, and now that I have I still have a rejection reaction to the name.

English is not my mother tongue so maybe that's why I don't get the humor here, what wordplay are you talking about ? man is short for manual following a unix tradition, bro is a word associated with despicable attitude and stupid

No it's not. sudo echo "bro $*" > http://bropages.org doesn't work and "gem install explain" neither.

I agree, this is a really poorly thought concept. I almost skipped this entry because it's started with bro which is a word used to describe some really despicable and stupid attitude. I did click because it said man pages which are re

This title is outrageously misleading. Turns out this is a policy assessment of those companies and whether they publicly stand on the side of users when the government attempts to seek access to private data. This a 6 point assessment: 1.

Apparently it's post a banner on a website, register on facebook, google+ and twitter to post there that you are against surveillance. A nice attempt at sorting out people through self-selection who are to be put on a special surveilla

Calling upon what a dead person would have done if not dead is something I have a hard time getting behind. But using facebook, google + and twitter to fight back against surveillance made it clear that this whole initiative is a joke and a
