Workingmac.com Interview With Jordan Hubbard

Questions range from 'How do open-source operating systems compare to closed-source operating systems?' to 'What does the future hold for FreeBSD?'" It's a quick interview, but a good read. Interesting that to talk about the Mac OS now is to talk about UNIX.

    What I really want to know is how he wrote so many books about absolutely nothing at all. If someone were to come up with run-length plot encoding, you'd probably get at least a 1000:1 compression ratio on most of them.

    Oh, wait. Wrong Hubbard.

      I know your type of comment seems to be a running joke around here, but to mistake Jordan for L. Ron is completely foolish and mindless. It amazes me that the same 'jokes' always seem to be modded up; I wonder if everyone around here laughs at the same jokes over and over, even after they've worn thin and used in practically every Slashdot article ever written.

      Hey, why did the chicken cross the road?

    I saw the Slashdot headline:
    Workingmac.com Interview With Jordan Hubbard

    as:

    Mac's working With L. Ron Hubbard

    I think we can all be thankful that the second title is not real!
