Open Source Advocacy The Right Way

[vmlinuz] writes "With a rapid succession of people moving towards Open Source, advocacy and evangelism is increasingly important in helping organizations to move over. The O'Reilly Network has begun publishing a series of articles about Open Source by Jono Bacon that teaches how to approach advocacy sensibly and more productively." From the article: "Although Aristotle developed his message many, many years ago, the concept of optimizing how we talk to people has developed further throughout history. From Aristotle to Heraclitus to Friedrich Nietzsche to Helen Keller to George Bernard Shaw, many people have advocated new thinking in times of rabid opposition."

For fuck's sake, LEARN TO WRITE.

"Linux needs to play to it's strength's"

Since when did this sort of writing become acceptable, God fucking damn it?

Fucking learn, you illiterate crack-monkeys.
1) The possessive of "it" is "ITS". It is NOT "it's".
2) To pluralize a noun, YOU DO NOT ADD AN APOSTROPHE. (See Bob)

You fucking half-literate retard! Where did you learn to write like this, and why are people like you setting the standards of online writing, and even writing in general? I hear horror stories of English teachers receiving papers written like your post, and even (horror of horrors) papers turned in with "u" instead of "you", "r" instead of "are", and other usages coined by 12-year-old AOL-using crack babies. What the FUCK is wrong with us!?

For instance, developed an eternities worth of material on the subject of life, as best he could describe it, using words and modes of literature available to him. "Modes of thinking" is a primary facet of the entire Scientology stricture; controversors and squirrels aside, there is sort of a point to the fact of Scientologists' rabid devotion to 'standard technology'.

Its an interesting thing that literacy is an individual responsibility, with entirely cataclysmic consequences when dealing with ones fellows. You are the one who determines your literal understanding of the world, no matter what anyone tells you; yet, the more you listen to others, the more you may yet learn.

Interesting equation. Thank God.

I would, if someone would just tell me why this bloody thing isn't compiling.


%include <iosrteam.com>
%include <iomannip.h>

void public static viod main( char *** argc, int argv[] )
{
sdt::cout <<< 'Hello, Wordl!' <<< Std::enld;
}


What? Hey, if you're so smart, YOU figure it out!
