Interview With Linus

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.""

      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.

    Are there any weaponized diseases which cause large numbers of the population to suddenly and catastrophically lose all muscular control over the sphincter? What would happen in such an event? Would we all be driven from the cities by the resulting flood of "mud"?

    Or would this arouse you? Make you moist between your pale, pale legs with the knobby knees?

    Would this weaponized disease be noncontagious, like anthrax, or very contagious, like smallpox?

    I wonder about things like this. Keeps me warm and tight. mmmm...yeah!

    Don't get me wrong, I think Linus is a great guy but his grammar stinks. In the quotes, he keeps referring to Microsoft as "it". So the big difference between Linux and Windows are things like grammar, appearance, and user friendliness. Once guys like Linus get their grammar right and start putting similar attention to detail in Linux, Microsoft is doomed.

  15. Wow, Your computer runs Islam? by spreerpg · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    idiot.
    Islam isn't a bad thing. Its people like you that make freedom of speech a bad idea. Did you ever think that perhaps just because a person was Muslim doesn't make them a bad person. You are certainly acting like a culturo-centric Judeo-Christian pig. And also, how is a religion comprable to an OS??? Does your computer run on Islam, I know mine doesn't. But tell me where I can get this amazing OS.
    And how the hell does the Linux Movement relate to the Taliban??? The Taliban is a government, albiet an illigitmate gov't, and the Linux Movement is a group of people that like an operating system. How the hell are they related?

    Wow, sorry about the flame, I just don't like stupid comments, especialy when they make no sense at all. Or when they attact via bashing with no logic.
