  1. Whos Tim O'Reilly by stratjakt · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    and why do I want to read a long interview of his hippy whining?

    Is he the guy who prints out linux FAQs and sells them to you idiots at 20 bucks+ a piece with a little pencil drawing of a frog on the front? Or is that another O'Reilly?

    That would be redundant - /. IS a hack. C'mon - it's written in friggin' _Perl_ for ghu's sake!

    Wow, that is pretty much exactly what O'Reilly said in the interview, had you bothered to read it.

    You really do look like a dumb, arrogant, redundant shithead. Lucky for you slashbot moderators dont read the articles either.

      It doesn't. It's just that inane stupidity has skewed your judgement.

    But the competition is weak. Microsoft are dominant because their desktop software is the best for the x86 architecture.

    Someone, please scan all O'Reilly's books, convert them to PDFs and put them on Kazaa/Gnutella/What-have-you.

    We'll see if the song he sings so enthusiastically changes then. :0)
