Businessweek Covers Linuxworld
MadFarmAnimalz writes "BusinessWeek has coverage of Linuxworld up, and it makes interesting reading in places. Amongst things touched upon are the open-source business model, how vendors will be tempted into locking in customers into their offerings, and other things." I'll be out there tomorrow for the Golden Penguin Bowl, as well as judging exhibitors. Busy day.
"informative"? Uh.. no.
"a funny troll"? Yes.
Moderators should have a minimum IQ threshold.
Amsterdam Vallon's post contained a handful of facts coupled with clear, readable statements backing his claims up. He was moderated mostly as a "Troll" and his post sits invisible at a score of 0.
The parent post by Tewfik is a few "sentences" of garbled English prose which contains more nonsense than factual information. His post sits at 5 and is moderated "Insightful".
I think the moderations and comments mentioned above show that the Pro-Linux factions are moronic and easily manipulated, much like employees who Microsoft chooses to hire.
The sad thing isn't that Linux is dead, it's that its followers won't admit it.
Reply or e-mail; don't vaguely moderate. Ex-O'Reilly/MIT employee, now a full-time Google employee.
Yah, must suck to be Taco. Damn, glad I don't get to go to all the shows for free, am not just married, etc, etc.
Maybe I'm just being negative, and "Busy day." Is intended to be positive. But seldom does anyone say "busy day" and mean it amelioratively. Perhaps "Finally, a day where I do something other than sit on my fat ass, not correct misspellings, and double post old stories!!!" would have been more clear.
KLAATU, BORADA, NIh*ahem*
Well, aside from the fact that SuSE has bundled Crossover - you can now get OpenExchange to manage "enterprise" email in a format that is compatible with MS Outlook and apparantly PDA's as well. Does anyone know if this really works? It claims to be "open" but I'm wondering what that means exactly.
