Shadowy outcome for HURD, who could have seen that one coming?

  Damn me for being a naive fool. I always believed what Linus said and kept waiting. And behold: now he's denying it. Do you think I should change my sig now?

"Infrastructure" by HRbnjR · 2004-10-25 08:45 · Score: 5, Funny

I work from home, and OSDL provides some infrastructure that allows me to get my work done without having to worry about things.

Heh, "provides some infrastructure" ??

Such a sweet deal would normally make one wonder...

Richard Chesler : Get the f**k out of here, you're fired!

Narrator : I have a better solution. You keep me on the payroll as an outside consultant, and in exchange for my salary, my job will be never to tell people these things that I know. I don't even have to come into the office, I can do this job from home.

  The first rule of OSDL is that you don't talk about OSDL.

HURD! Uggg... Linux is bad enough, get a real OS, like FreeBSD for server's, otherwise its back to Windows for a desktop :) Let the OS wars begin!

Maybe there is a war, but you can't kill something that's already dead. Or haven't you hurd?
