How to Misunderstand Open Source
Sam Hiser writes "This article intends to clear up some misconceptions about open source software development practices. It can help developers, IT and business managers transition from a closed development environment to an open one characterized by shorter time-to-market and lower costs. The author, Tom Adelstein -- an experienced CPA, code developer, project manager and consultant -- makes clear the notion that Open Source Software bears a mark of professionalism."
how about Linus' recent make over? Talk about queer eye for the geek guy. The guy looks a lot better now
Not to undermine open source, but the guy used to look like a complete dork.
Maybe Linus can help remove the geek stereotype that is so often associated with Linux.
Okay, so everybody knows Bugs Bunny is hot when he dresses as a girl bunny, but what about Minnie Mouse just being herself?
Open Source or Free Software is nothing more than a big Marketing GAG made by Richard M. Stallman and Miguel de Icaza. They sold a religion to many shortsightet believers and have them work in their spare time to fill the moneybags of de Icaza, Stallman and all the other asspimping companies. But it will as always be too late until the last one realized it. Until then ... happy beliving and happy wasting your energy for other peoples and companies success.
i dont know where everyone gets the idea that you need profits to have a good economy... profits don't mean shit besides bigger salaries for greedy sons of bitches. people will never learn for this fuckin sin is going to ruin mankind.. imagine the world as an entire opensource community... oh what a wonderful place it would be.. think about it for real.. money is bullshit. and sorry for the lame vagueness and reasoning, but its true..
we don't need it.. its just nature's way.. we grow up, and strive to be better than your fellow man.. go to college for the primary reason of graduating, getting a good job that pays you lots of money.. and for what??
its surely nothing passionate... how many people do you know who are passionate about their job? not many thats for sure.. they are passionate about that check they get at the end of the week.. life shouldnt be worrying about money all the time.. which 95% of the world does..

from the tang-makes-me-ill (how annoying that must be for us, & the folks over at tang.com?) dept.
morons write "What do you think babies aboard the ?other? side of the planet had for Thanksgiving? Roasted turkey? Wrong answer. In "less fortunate" areas, the pateNTdead eyecon0meter tells us, they had little of nothing, and gives details about space in their little bodies, where food ought to be. If the dining view, 200 miles of rough road, is unattractive, preparing 'meals' is even more so. For example, there is no food, so the babies must remain hungry for long periods at +- room temperature. And you need to avoid thinking about this scenario. The real 'stuff that matters' overview contains additional references, and includes directions by the creators, for their/yOUR newclear power, & planet/population rescue initiatives/mandates.
( Read More... | that makes sense )
consult with/trust in yOUR creators... the lights are coming up now in order to assist in the avoidance of overheating the main processor, &, facilitation of the aforementioned ncp/ppr programs/mandates.

Which explains why Israel is dumping MS for OSS.

I wrote a mainframe Web server under contract for a computer manufacturer, and after I delivered it only one bug was ever reported against it, and that was a cosmetic one.
Then feel free to shut the hell up, and write your own perfect OS and perfect programs.
It seems to me that the Open Source model relies on a stream of volunteers working for free. It's a good way to get programming practice, but, sooner or later, a person has to pay his bills. And if the executables are packaged and sold for money, do all the volunteers get a cut of the profits? Just wondering.
