O'Reilly on the Open Source Industry

Idmat writes "Tim's latest opus, "The Strange Case of the Disappearing Open Source Vendors," starts with Sherlock Holmes ruminating on "the curious incident of the dog in the night-time" and winds up explaining why open source is good for businesses even if it isn't always good for software vendors."

    No problem man. I understand completely. You're just doing what comes natural to any geek, and that is to spout useless technical trivia in a never ending contest of "who knows the most obscure facts about technology that no one else gives a flying rats ass about" in order to establish your place in the geek pecking order.
