Spell Nazis beware!

[Pharmboy]

I normally don't care about spelling errors, but my god, there had to be over 50 different ones in that article. I know the spelling nazis on /. will have a field day with this one. Amazing how educated people, be they programmers or journalists, can't spell.

But an excellent article none the less.

SCO's Next Big Announcement

[yukster]

Linus: ... It's really about "Oops. Now they actually see us doing this stuff. And so we'd better be careful."

I will be very surprised if them SCO jackasses don't jump on this quote as Linus admitting his guilt. They've misconstrued and misappropriated less usable quotes by RMS, Perens ad others.

Re:Linus about Mac OS X?

[Grizzlysmit]

On Apple and OS X I never much liked Macs. All the interesting stuff is hidden away. They made the base of the house open source, but all the rest of the stuff, the wiring, is their own stuff. I don't want that to happen with Linux.

[Mac OS X] doesn't give me the warm-and-fuzzies. I actually dislike Mach a lot. I think they made a lot of bad design choices.

I don't like Mac's & Apple for so many reasons, but mostly for the closed proprietry nature of the shit, and most of all because of all you shit's out there like the parent of this thread, I mean shut the fuck up, the article was about linus & linux, Mac Os X is oftopic, irrelevant and full of shit, and I for one have had enough of you turds always butting in with it.
