10 Linux Predictions For 2002

Posted by michael on from the carnac-the-magnificent dept.

Weedstock writes: "In an article on LinuxWorld, Joe Barr is once again making 10 predictions about the success of Linux for the new year." The first of many sets of predictions for 2002, no doubt. And some guy named "Robin" or "Roblimo" or something like that wrote about Linux in 2003 for Newsforge.

    1. Tux will fly
    To this day flightless like other penguins, Linux mascot Tux will shake the world by flying into the Eiffel Tower, prompting a renewal of the 'war on terrorism'.

    2. Slashdot will be free of trolls
    CmdrTaco will utter the regexp to end all regexps, and the lameness filter will finally work. Forever.

    3. RMS installs Windows
    RMS, leader of the Free World, will renounce GNU purity and follow the temptations of Microsoft by installing Windows 2.0. From the horses mouth: "Freeware like GNU just doesn't cut it when stacked up against real software made by real programmers with fat wallets. It's a moral choice really - the corporations deserve our dollars. Freedom shmeedom."

    Computers will become faster!

    And will have more RAM!

    Linux will continue to develop!

    etc... What would we do without this sage guidance?
