Posted by CmdrTaco on from the worth-a-gander dept.

An anonymous reader noted LinuxWorld running an entertaining little Top Ten SCO-related "Linusisms. If you're new to the story, you might find these insightful... but you're reading this site on a sunday, so you probably will find them more amusing than informative.

    It seems as if Marcelo Tosatti, new kernel maintainer, will say some interesting things, not really Linus things though, more like Bush things ;)

    Having that mentioned, I pretend to: - Fix pending problems which might required more intrusive modifications during 2.4.24. New drivers will be accept during this period (for example, Cyclades PC300 driver, input userlevel driver support, or other sane driver which might come up). - From 2.4.25 on, fix only critical/security problems.

    "Pulchritude" ?

    God, what a HORRID-sounding word to use to mean "attractive"!!!

    Your comment would be funny, except that Latin really does have a tiny vocabulary... A 500 word Latin vocabulary is a considerable bit. Like pulcher and bella can mean beautiful, pretty, handsome, etc, depending on the context it's used in.

    3. Constitution and Marriage"If Darl McBride was in charge, he'd probably make marriage unconstitutional too, since clearly it de-emphasizes the commercial nature of normal human interaction, and probably is a major impediment to the commercial growth of prostitution"

    I hate to say it, but perhaps the opposite is true. A reasonable single person in the western world has any number of opportunities to couple, as long as the the person is not too picky, and is in fact in interested in regular coupling. As long as everything is kept safe and no one is a maniac, which are big ifs, such coupling often does not have long term implications.

    OTOH, a married person who wants to stay married does not have such freedoms. If that person wants to couple outside of the marriage, they cannot just chat up someone at the grocery. It is in fact much safer to hire a professional.

    Just hypothetically of course.
