The Stallman Factor

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the happy-hacking-and-hostile-naming-conventions dept.

An anonymous reader sent us linkage to a LinuxWorld story about Stallman's Position in the Linux World. Talks a lot about RMS's tacticts for getting his acronym included with the kernel's name. This has been a long-running debate, but personally I just don't care. I respect the GNU Project's involvement. But I'm not gonna spit out extra syllables and keystrokes just to appease anyone.

      Chapter 2 of Jon Katz new book about dogs, titled - Anal sex with dogs: On the receiving end

      Most male dogs are more than happy to mount you and "fuck you silly." Some are less enthusiastic than others. There are dangers to being mounted by a male dog though.

      First, one must understand the anatomy of the male canine reproductive system. A dog's penis is unlike that of a human's. The appearance, texture and sensitivity are much different. Working from the tip back, the end of a dog's penis is somewhat blunt with a slight angle. It typically swells to it's greatest shaft width along the first 2/5 then gradually tapers until you reach the bulb at the base of the exposed, unsheathed penis. The bulb, (bulbous glandis) is a large swelling at the base of the penis which consummates the tie between a bitch and a dog during sex. On a German Shepherd Dog, it's normally about three to three and a half inches wide, a plenty good handful for most. If you're going to have sex with a male dog, the bulb and the Os Penis are your main concerns. The Os Penis is a bone inside the shaft of a dog's penis. If he gets overly excited and starts thrusting rapidly, you could get jabbed with it and, if you do, trust me, you won't sit comfortably for days.

      If you allow a dog to mount you there is a definite chance that you may tie with him -- that the bulb, (also known as the knot) will swell inside of you and keep you two stuck together. If you do not prepare yourself, you could be in for fifteen to thirty minutes of agony. Start loosening yourself up using whatever you can fit up your anus. Graduated dildos work very well and are available at most adult stores. Wait until you are comfortable with at least a three inch circumference before taking on a dog.

      To get a dog to mount you, grasp his sheath gently and start rubbing the base of it, near his ballsac. He should, at that time, start thrusting. Some dogs will try and mount you right then and there. Remember, if it's his first time, he'll need some guidance. Even some old pro's need guidance. If he does not try to get on your back, try pulling him up and jerking him off as he 'stands' behind you. If he does not want to get on your back, try laying on your back, legs hanging off of a couch or bed, and have him lay on top of you, on your belly, and try it that way. Once you've got him to mount you, attempt to guide his penis into you. Remember, if he misses, that os penis can hurt. Once inside of you, you can lave most of what's left up to him. If he ties with you it is imperative he NOT pull out of you until he starts getting softer. Otherwise, you may have one hell of a story to tell at the Emergency Room!

      Once tied, the dog will probably try and turn around so that you're butt to butt with him. This is an instinctual behavior. If he starts trying to pull out or panics, grab whichever legs you can and try and hold him against you so he doesn't pull out. It is a very good idea to have someone else present the first time you tie a dog in case of an emergency.

      Sit back, enjoy fifteen to thirty minutes of elation, then, once he starts getting softer, let him pull out of you. Do not lick his penis or touch it with your bare hands. Not only will it be very sensitive but there will be bacteria on his penis that can make you ill. However, it will not effect him.

      Some dogs may not want to mount or show an interest in mounting. Others will never tie, only sit inside of you. There are also dogs that don't turn when they are, or are not, tied. It all depends on the individual dog.
      WOOF!

    Insightful? Who the fuck would moderate this as insightful?

    Hey clueless. The spelling of the word is "ought", not "aught". And the correct word would be "should".

    Actually, if you done graduated third grade, you probably would write the sentences " I don't care what it's called provided it works. The operating system should not lock-up in the middle of an application."

    A game is an application dumbass. Stupid fuck. You're probably one of the "few" because you're a total fucking idiot.

    I think the article, besides mentioning Stallman, highlights something far more important: that perhaps Linux is doomed by its own popularity. As it becomes more popular, people put pressure on Linux to do something regardless of whether it follows the spirit of GPL. Sure, binary-only modules do get the job done, and allow winmodems and nvidia to work, but is it fine to use these modules and sacrifice freedom? What if companies decide "hey, the Linux kernel is so modular, and Linus says binary modules are fine, so we will make our own binary-only modules that use our IP and patents, and thus are perhaps superior to the open source stuff" What then? What if Linux 3.6 comes out as half binary, half source? Is it still open source? What makes open source impotant is not the shallow goal of defeating Microsoft, but advancing computer _science_. It is science, and science progresses faster when it is open, when you and I can stand on the shoulders of giants and improve upon it, even if we be pigmys. That is what Free Software is about: instead of having everyone start from square zero everytime, everyone exchanges ideas, critiques them, and improves upon them. What if Newton closed-source his theory of motion, and instead sold mechanical boxes where you put in the initial position of objects and it spewed out their final position? Would Bernoulli and Laplace and Einstein create beautiful theories to benefit us all? Sure, patents are one thing: they temporarily protect the owner, to give incentive. But closed source is not a patent: it is greed driven stifling of competition by obfuscating and encrypting ideas, instead of (perhaps first patenting them first, which is fine) opening them up. This is what computer _science_ is about! I am a student who works under contract from a company on parallel code. It is beyond closed source: I cannot even discuss it. I cannot fling ideas back and forth between myself and my physics/cs/math friends. This hurts the developers (e.g. me) too, depriving them of freedom of _art_ and _science_ for the sake of cash. This is wrong, I feel like slime, because as a scientist it goes against openness and peer review. I have to finish this contract, but I swear to myself I will never be so foolish so as to sign up for "closed source" science and programming. Stallman, wacky or not, has some very good points. He is _not_ against commercialism (gee, SuSe and RedHat seem to have pretty large market caps and serve large companies like Amazon/Google, work with IBM, etc.). He is against this foolish concept of hoarding ideas, because by doing so you hurt everyone, including yourself. Linux is great: everyone pitches in, and learns. It is a proving ground for new methods of vm management, networking, distribution (e.g. Mosix). Closed source stuff like Solaris, while great, does not advance the state of the art in computer science, because only Joy and maybe 50 other people ever see the source. Their ideas cannot be improved upon. Please don't let this happen to Linux. Commercializing on it is fine, but closed-sourcing it and using closed-source in conjunction is not. BitKeeper is great, but it could be better, and maybe some clever guy in New York or San Antonio could improve upon it, create something new based on it. How does this kill commercialism? It DOESN'T! Universities have been profiting from open science for ages (mine make jillions from it)! Nvidia binary drivers provide good graphics, but how does opening a hardware API hurt? Dammit, just because closed-source is the norm now, it doesn't have to be tomorrow!

    And, oh yea, for all you trolls so concerned with M$: such shit wouldn't happen if open source was the norm.
