Interview With Linus

Posted by Hemos on from the talking-with-the-man dept.

Hairy1 writes " Cisco has an interview with Linus which discusses among other things his thoughts - or rather lack of thoughts - about Windows. When asked about Microsoft he said - "Well, I don't know. I'm actually not a big Microsoft basher... They're very good at marketing. They're very good at trying to see What do we have to do to sell this? The bad part about it is that it does have a huge market share. And that means that it can be lazy, sort of. They don't have much competition on the desktop, which means that they have very little incentive to really fix some of the problems it does have.""

    At the Subways near me, you just have to ask them to do the classic Subway cut, and voila you get it. Am I missing something about why I need to argue to bring it back?

    Please note the capitalizaton of OOG_THE_CAVEMAN. As a caveman, OOG must use a pre-bronze age Diablo daisy-wheel terminal, which happens to have the wheel lifter arm stuck in the shift position, making all text he sees in all caps. Since OOG cannot tell whether his shift is down or up, the fact that's it's been stuck down since 1983 is hidden from him.

    Also as a caveman, OOG has a reduced frontal lobe. Normally this is not a handicap in discussions on slashdot. But it caused him to forget his password.

    HTH.

    Please refer to How Do You Like Your Buns? A Comparison of Two Sandwiches .


    The Old Cut : This is what a sandwich should look like. Neat. Tidy. Perhaps a little spillage around the bottom, but that extra stuff is all good.

    The New Cut : Look at it. It's disgusting. It looks like somebody gutted a muskrat.
