    "Most of the linux centric companies were leeching off the linux name, and those that weren't didn't fail because they were using Linux, they failed because they didn't have a business model with a chance in hell of (ever) going profitable."


    True as hell. There are way to many companies leeching of the Linux name without o real business model...

    Isn't parody the sincerest form of flattery? Does the silly original really merit this unfunny retort?

    KSE can be described as

    "Well, we've copied lots of other things from Solaris; let's copy LWPs too, but rename them so Sun doesnt sue us"

    Obviously he has not tried it yet. It's very real. He's just in denial, and it's sad to see.

    I'm sure some people called FreeBSD vapor when it first started out too. There were probably people out there who did not like the idea of another BSD, and thought that it would not succeed.

    Oh, I also like how Theo sounds like a jerk, as usual, LOL.

    Speaking of AA's VM, does anyone actually know how it works? Rik Van Riel posted some information before he designed the VM, but I've been trying to find out about AA's VM, to no success. He says its faster and simpler and cleaner, but not how.

    PS> Yea I know, its called "grep"

  6. Simply kewl. Ears up linux people! by petbrain · · Score: 0, Troll

    Heres a plug against you Linux people ;) Last week, I read about the ATA drivers from BSD, were re-done in a "search n' replace" manner, in the linux community. They say that copy-cat is the best flattery, and I accept that open-arms - natrually outside the give credit where credit is due arguments. So kudo's to BSD for being "real" in an "un"-real OS environment. Atleast we know ONE thing. M$ doesn't steal BSD code. If they did, the sh@# would atleast RUN well. ;) Keep up the good work guys!
