To the grave, like BSD (I kid, I kid.)

MODS - this guy is a karmawhore by Anonymous Coward · 2004-02-23 11:55 · Score: -1, Offtopic

Dude - what is with you?

First you claim to be an associate professor at a school which doesn't exist, then at a school where you don't exist. You prattle all the time about how you're an instructor, and nobody believes you. Now you claim to be a professional programmer since 1984. Whatever.

Then, we take a look at your posting history. I haven't seen a single post - not ONE - that wasn't a blatant and obvious karmawhore post. "foo.bar - I'm LOVIN' it!" Get over it, OK?

I mean, come on. "I Love Linux" and "Gentoo..." Could you be any more obvious?

MODS, this guy is a serial karmawhore. Please use your insightful and informative mods for people who really are.

You're correct. Most CS professors don't know how to program.

That isn't what he said. Read it again.

then, WTF was the point of mentioning slavery?! That second paragraph was so non-sequitor... UNLESS the intention was to say that running on SPARC is a moral sin! (I've seen Solaris do some crappy stuff, but I find inanimate objects to be amoral)

The only way the grandparent post could have been better is if he mentioned Hitler, terrorism, and the Bhutan death march. That post read like a Kids In The Hall sketch.

It was an example. THAT IS ALL IT WAS. He didn't compare it to WR or SPARC. Grow up and don't get offened at the drop of a hat.

Damn, people are just too quick to bitch.

You must be new here. Welcome to slashdot.

P.S.- it was an example that made no fucking sense.
