Re:This is a corrigendum

[kiltedtaco]

Is this post serious?

You really think that Linus did more work than the GNU project did? You really think that GNU came in after Linus had his kernel built and just tried to take credit? GNU existed 7 years before Linus did anything!

Linux was named after Linus. Who chose that? Linus.

This post is so wrong I can't concieve how to correct it. I think I'll just go throw up right now.

wackybrit is a troll

[twitter]

Of the last 25 posts wackybrit has posted five have been modded to zero and one has been modded to -1. I'd spend the time finding out, but I've got better things to do, like wackybrit a troll and a jackass.

This post deserves to move in that direction. It contians many insults and nothing positive. There are so many silly things said, it's hard to even start correcting it and we can imagine that wackybrit knows better but wishes to be malicious.

I can't see why the FSF is trying to become the new Linux authority.

Funny, but I don't see them doing anything like that. The tools they provide are first quality and they have every right to guide the development of those tools. Those tools are supposed to be kernel and architectur independent and are. Remember the hurd? It's here and the GNU tools work with it too. The only thing the FSF really cares for is your software freedom and the GPL. They stand for your right to run, modify your sofware as you please and your right to share those modifications with your friends. Under those rules you can make your own kernel and your own tools from thier set and call them what you want.

My wife and I like monkeys. One of my pet names for her is Orang because she has red hair. She calls me Gorile. Most people, however, don't like being called a monkey. We are strange, you, wackybrit, are a jackass.
