Profiting from Open Source Software
Secret Santa writes "Alex Salkever has written an inspiring and Linux-friendly piece about Martin Roesch -- how he went from writing open-source software to building a multimillion dollar company. Excerpt: 'Sourcefire is one of a growing number of small software players that have built new businesses around open-source code. Their business models contain various mixes of proprietary and open-source software components and span the software gamut, from other security companies such as Tripwire to database outfits such as MySQL and desktop-computing offerings like Xandros. Most are still small, with revenues well under $50 million.'"
you think ur pretty fucking funny don't you? Asshole. You knoe exactly what I meant. I was talking about lunix's stupid and illogical filing system. Nothing is where it logically should be like in Windows. If I want to look for configuration data in Windows, I use regedit. One stop shopping for me thank you very much. then if I am forced to deal with an archaic text only config file, I know they are all in C:\Windows, C:\Windows\System or C:\Windows\System32. I know that all programs are in only one place as long as they are older than 1995 (which is when Microsoft finally ruled the desktop with the best OS ever). All programs are located in C:\Program Files. I don't have to go looking in /dev/stupid/place/for/programs like you lunix nutjobs. The only way you guys will ever get any market share is if you set things up like this: /lunix_os - where your OS goes /program files - Oh look! Microsoft rulez you again! /unix/is/stupid/configurations - One place for your config files. Only one!! But I buried it so you'd still feel at home ebcause your'e stupid /home directories - where your user's data gos /my_stupid_computer - where your disk drive icons go (Oh yeah and ditch all that mount stupidity. The computer should just connect to all your storage drives when it turns on or whenever they are inserted. But I forgot, your OS is too old and stupid to understand how to do things on it's own like Windows can! LOL!)
And learn to use real characters instead of that line noise crap like ~#!$. What the fuck is wrong with you people. Get some drive letters too. How are you supposed to know where anything is when you don't have drive letters? You asshats are fucking stupid. Lunix, the choise of the stupid looser generation.
