Dvorak on the LinuxWorld Fracas
An anonymous reader writes "John C. Dvorak has entered the fray, offering his opinion on the O'Gara LinuxWorld flap. From the article: '...the Linux community is slowly evolving into a state of mob rule, with the cheerleaders being paranoid crackpot leftovers from the waning days of Amiga.' "
Nice troll. Where is that quote in the article? Crackpot leftovers from the waning days of Amiga MY ASS!
*smashes keyboard in half*
And I don't want to take your stupid little javascript survey either, damn I need a smoke.
Burn 'im. 'E's a witch!
Caesar si viveret, ad remum dareris.
You're right. If Dvorak wants to be taken seriously, he should start stalking a target. Linus, perhaps?
As it is, all pending Dvorak story submissions should be entitled:
Opinions are like assholes - no one wants a whiff of Dvorak's.
Dvorak: "In the olden days, O'Gara would have been given a medal for generating readership."
Earning another medal then, John?
'...the Linux community is slowly evolving into a state of mob rule, with the cheerleaders being paranoid crackpot leftovers from the waning days of Amiga.'
If voicing my option about REAL BAD REPORTING and JOURNALISM makes me all that. Well heck I remember the Amiga. I guess that's me the "paranoid crackpot". This guy is clueless....
Whatever.... Time for my MEDS!
.. paranoid crackpot leftover from the days of Amiga.
And he should be careful not to paint and feather into a corner. When you mess with a bull you have to break a few eggs. Or something...
I've figured this whole mess out!
O'Gara = Jones!
This was just a scam to escalate O'Gara/Jones to a media frenzy!
Don't forget, Einhorn WAS Finkle! Finkle WAS Einhorn! Einhorn was a man!
And they said zombies weren't real!
Which Christian church are you referring to?
The oldest christian churches are what is commonly called the orthodoz christians.
You then had the italian church, Rome, which separated and became the Microsoft of Christianity (power, baby!). Then, yo have all the churrches that were created as offshoots as soon as some british monarch wanted to get laid, divorced or other. Then you have the fanatics like the ones that came to america and then you finally have all the american pseudo-christians that have polluted us for hte past 200 years, you know, the jehovah, the mormons and other such cults, not too mention, the R&B black churches where every other pro football player is a priest, or the tv evangelists crooks which swindle millions of people in the name of god.
Which church are you referring to?
All the US ones are start-ups that were created by crooks and certifiable nutjobs.
Whether its the Mormons magic underwear or Scientologists veneration of Xenu the overlord, there is no difference.
state of mob rule, with the cheerleaders being paranoid crackpot leftovers from the waning days of Amiga
Cheerleaders: Score +12. Hopefully naked cheerleaders.
Paranoid: +2. Everyone should be paranoid.
Crackpot: 0. Have you ever tried to smoke crack from a pot?
Leftovers: 0. Ambiguous score. Are they chinese takeout leftovers from last night, or 3 month old covered in an as yet unknown species of mold?
Amiga: + Eleventy trillion.
Author: +2. Has-been industry sycophant with mediocre technological expertise -3, shares surname with inventer of superior keyboard layout +5.
Total score: Eleventy trillion + 16. Dvorak would never compliment linux advocates, so this confirms my theory that he has mercury poisoning and is saying random things in his mad ranting. I vote to remove his feeding tube.
FTA:
It may be that this is actually a deep Astroturf PR campaign orchestrated by Microsoft to discredit open source and Linux.
Yeeaaahhhh.....that's the ticket: PJ isn't a stooge for IBM as O'Gara would purport. She's a stooge for MICROSOFT! Yes! That's it! Microsoft pays...no, no, wait, Microsoft invents PJ and has this so called "journalist" post some seemingly insightful but in hindsight clearly superficial and superfulous pro-Linux articles to gain acceptance and credibility among the Linux wackos. Now they pay O'Gara to pretend to aggrevate "PJ" with real and veiled threats, which sends PJ -- and therefore all of the Linux wacko sheep -- spiraling into oblivian and the entire Linux community implodes under its own weight.
That, my friend, is some solid investigative reporting.
You didn't read that on slashdot!
...paranoid crackpot leftovers from the waning days of the Spanish Inquisistion
Well, I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition.
Some of what I say is fact, some is conjecture, the rest I'm just blowing out my ass...you guess.
Dvorak is used to having his work garbled by publishers. When he wrote his 5th symphony, his publisher went and labled it symphony #9 just to goose sales. I am not surprized that Dvorak is so crabby and tends to repeat himself, what is amazing is that he is still alive at all and knows anything about computers.
;^)
SLASHDOT: news for people who can't concentrate on work or have no life at all and got tired of yelling back at the TV.
Bah, just further proof that Dvorak is a hack. His keyboard layout sucks, too. Pay him no a[tt]ention.
I think "Finding your Inner Asshole" would be a great book, or at least an excellent seminar with box lunch.
No, he just put the keys in a different order so you can play songs faster.
What!? Next you're going to tell me he didn't compose those symphonies. I'm going to have to go lie down for a while.
This next song is very sad. Please clap along. -- Robin Zander
He writes an article for the sole purpose of upsetting a large group of people, because he knows it will generate tons of hits (that's the name of the game). In the old days, there was a word for this, Troll.
I think that Dvorak is just upset that he can no longer write articles under his "Maureen O'Gara" penname.
