But his crime was faking a sign-off from Christoph Hellwig. Is this the example we want for young kernel programmers?

THIS is tasteless!

And funny.

What's this?! The great hacker god Eric Raymond is not in this list?!

Sorry, had to be said.

Bruce Schneier's secure handshake is so strong, you won't be able to exchange keys with anyone else for days.

Ask Bruce Schneier.

Calm down, ESR. And they were British-born with links to Pakistan. Just to make sure you understand what this mean: Pakistan isn't Arab.

Canonical Ltd. is a major financial sponsor of Ubuntu, but (AFAIK) provides very little guidance of the project.

I actually considered going to work with Canonical when Mark [Shuttleworth] was starting it, and there were a couple of problems with that. I think that Mark is eventually interested in having a successful and profitable company, and I don't believe that Linux distributions are a natural fit for for- profit enterprise. Indeed, if you go on my website I have a very long paper on the economics of open source, and one of the things that you can derive from that is the fact that open source works almost worst for a for-profit Linux distribution. ...

As far as Canonical is concerned, one thing that struck me about Mark is that he really insists on control. For example, when I considered being an employee one of the things standing in the way was the fact that Mark doesn't give his employees stock in his companies. If I'm going to work for someone I'm going to be a little entrepreneurial about it, so I felt that although Ubuntu and Canonical could do a great deal for Debian and be excellent community members, they were never going to be the core, and we could actually get closer to the core by following what I have set up for UserLinux.

Hm. I always thought this was the real business model of Ubuntu.

if I'm hit by a bus tomorrow, will this code be understood and survive?

I was left under the impression that Bruce is dead

Not to mention the vicious freedom headlock.

Been there, done that.

I've been thinking about retrofitting an iPod into my ass. Do you think that would make a good slashdot story?

What you are talking about has precedents, http://geekz.co.uk/lovesraymond/archive/eler-2006- prediction-outtake in the "everybody loves Eric Raymond"
  series (don't judge them by this link, please, they have some good material)

Funnily enough, Everybody loves Eric Raymond did a comic related to this on Friday... http://geekz.co.uk/lovesraymond/archive/eler-2006- prediction-outtake

Everybody loves Eric Raymond

After all from what I understand, Microsoft is looking at exploiting the open source model of development for getting free developers. I very much doubt they would go down a path where they transfer the entire copyright of the codebase to a non-profit organization (like Netscape/AOL and Mozilla Foundation).

Then again, with Safari working very decently - who needs IE on Mac ?

ATI and NVidia are famous for being the two worst companies to buy from. Some links:

• The Linux Doomsday scenario
• The "Everbody loves Eric Raymond" cartoon strip it inspired ;-) - featuring ATI
• Stallman makes an example of NVidia in the GNU 20th anniversary essay

Bruce, given that stuffing ballots with dead voters is a major concern, how do you retain credibility now that you too are (kind of) dead?

ESR is everyone's nightmare... but we still love him.

Oh, so that's what ESR has been doing other than flaming MS recruiters with leet skills.

My wife, upon hearing of this, suggested that if something like this could happen maybe I haven't made enough trouble for Microsoft lately, and I'm slipping off their radar. She might have a point...

Come on, ESR is pretty much off everyone's radar at the moment and has been for some time. The problem is that he doesn't DO anything much - as opposed to RMS and Linus who are of continuing significance. Seriously, aside from posting about gun rights and racial IQ differences on his blog, what does ESR get up to these days that anyone really cares about?

"I'd thank you for your offer of employment at Microsoft, except that it indicates that either you or your research team (or both) couldn't get a clue if it were pounded into you with baseball bats. What were you going to do with the rest of your afternoon, offer jobs to Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds?"

Right, because we all know ESR is on the same level with those two guys because he's responsible for uh... What exactly did he do?

Obligatory "Everboby loves Eric Raymond": http://geekz.co.uk/lovesraymond/archive/show-them- the-code

Seems appropriate.

That John Dvorak is a self-promoting corporate shill is only the opinion of myself and millions of others. That he's a misinformed idiot is just self-evident.
