...you can't spell "scrotum" without SCO
Considerign that whne the Windows project was started at MS that Unix code was closed off to review and learning from would it be too much to conclude that AT&T's efforts to close Unix(System V) code off so tha tpeople could not learn to write secure OS kernel code might have something to do with the major mistakes made in MS Kernel code in the early 1980s that we are still experiencing?
Don't Tread on OpenSource
I see SCo changed it's strategy.
Now they are targeting MS.
Who took my tinfoil hat?
Begin the Flaming now.
yay for unbiased slashdot!
The Only Person Willing to be Me is ME!
I would love to lick your greasy nerd-cock! Plz give me ur number!
YOU WILL BE SLASHIMILATED!
FOUR MILLION PEOPLE????? There are 4 million people in my STATE, and most are in SEATTLE! You people NEED to start FUCKING!!!! Forget your rotten smoked fish! START MAKING BABIES.
Well, I'm not questioning them. I'm encouraging them. The tagline they put after this latest SCO story was pretty great -- 'SCO is simply lying'. *POW!*
/. is, that's some pretty plain talkin'. ;)
More like *that*, man! More like THAT! For a news source as widely read as
What noone has ever been able to adequately explain to me is, why is MSFT an "evil company" with an "evil product" when Apple is a "angelic company" run by magic pixies and fairies? They're both out for the same thing - to make money for shareholders. They both use the same tactics and make the same types of decisions.
Or, why is MSFT more evil than VA Software? Now theres a company that pays an idiot like michael to make stupid, uninformed and offtopic trolls to deride others work. He talks about trustworthy computing completely out of context - on a "tech oriented" site.
Some MSFT drone says something remotely negative towards linux and the slashbots let loose the dogs (well, hamsters).
I used to like this site as a good source for tech news. I would have once considered subscribing. Now its just fanboy MSFT bashing, and serves no useful purpose.
Now anything that doesnt toe the line with the editors is modded as troll. Dare have a different point of view? You dont think proprietary=evil and free=good in all cases? -1 troll.
So I just troll straight out a lot of the time, I'll be modded that way anyhow, and I have to somehow show my contempt for the groupthink idiocy around here.
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
Well, that's just it. Their 'Trustworthy computing' slogan is all about making sure they can trust your computer to only run what they feel you have rights to. However, this goes against what it sounds like it means, and possibly even how they market it. In other words, a person would find their own computer trustworthy if they could trust it to not screw itself up, but this is not what Microsoft means.
So I viewed the 'trustworthy computing' statement more of a comment on the irony of the difference of what they mean by it, and what users probably would want it to mean.
R: That voice. Where have I heard that voice before? B: In about 365 other episodes. But I don't know who it is either.
After many years of trying to make do with myself, I have also finally given up. Yes that's right, I've switched to Windows XP.
I find that so far I am easier to use, and now have more time for the lady kernels.
Let's go trollerize!
I think you've confused the word "Editor" with "Zealot".
Actually, I think "Wow, I am glad that my main machine at home is running Linux so I don't have to deal with this garbage."
But I do agree with your assessment of the "editor's" comments. Not necessary.
My beliefs do not require that you agree with them.
Get yourselves up and fork GNOME already !
Karma cannot be described by words alone.
I opened a pif out of curiosity in my pet gvim, it appeared harmless .. i mean it didn't reboot me or anything .. what risk are you people talking about? :P
