Linus Blasts SCO's Header Claims
jonbryce writes "Linus has responded to the latest claims made by SCO in their letter to the Fortune 1000 companies. Basically, he wrote the code himself, and it has been there since Linux 0.0.1. No copying from BSD or any other source." You can also read his comment to the Linux kernel mailing list, which reads in part "I think we can totally _demolish_ the SCO claim that these
65 files were somehow 'copied.' They clearly are not."
-1, obnoxious fuck who spams all the SCO articles with at least seven links to his ugly, dumb, useless websites.
You want SEC to actually do anything? Don't vote Republican next year for any office.
You mean like the Democrats who were in office when the SEC turned their back on the likes of Enron and Worldtalk while they were actually DOING their monkeyshines?"
Bantam Dominique roosters crow a four-note song. Once you've heard it as "Happy BIRTHday" you can't NOT hear it that way
The term "Web Technologies" usually refers to interactive web sites.
That's why HTML and HTTP are some of the Web Technologies, aren't they? You obviously don't even know what you are talking about...
The term didn't exist when I started programming HTML back in '96 or even when I was coding servlets in '98
When you type "didn't exist" you obviously mean "I hadn't heard about". I excuse your tendency to generalize your own experience to reality.
Perhaps they meant web browsers and HTTPD servers, but that's not what they said.
When HR usually say "7+ years in Web technologies", they just want to make sure that the candidate has an in-depth knowledge of a) the web technologies and b) the techologies they rely on (which you seem to exclude from the Web Technologies): HTTP and HTML, to cite two of them. I think it is fair to say that I (for example, I am just one of them) have 7+ years experience in the web technologies.
Since Netscape 2.0 was released in 1996, it is fair to say that Javascript will soon be 8. Dynamic Web content (such as CGI) was common even in the 1995's. Wiki is one example of that. So long for your "interactive websites" limitation.
According to the Computer History, 1990 is the year the first commercial Internet dial-up access provider comes online. And in 1993, Fifty World Wide Web servers are known to exist. Hmmm, that put web technologies more than 10 as of today. Finally, this 7+ years doesn't sound so pathetic now.
Sounds to me like you're too insecure in your own skills to find the humor in the "10+ years in Java" type job ads.
Well, the 10+ years in tech X doesn't surprise me if the tech is 15. In this case, it's 7+ and the tech is 10-12. Sounds about an experience someone could actually have.
Sure, you could probably find some sort of rationalization
Like 10>7? Yes, I found it.
but the truth is that these things are written by HR departments that don't know any better.
Not all people in a HR department are idiots. While I can see some funny ads from time to time, this one in particular wasn't stupid.
In other words, don't be such a stick in the mud. It's funny! Laugh!
Humour is made of plenty of things. I am actually laughing at your ignorance of the history of the web technologies.
Write boring code, not shiny code!
