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.
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?
.. 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...
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.
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.
