    Just make sure you pay your "tribute" to Theo or he will withhold security fixes. Remember, kids, OpenBSD is only "free" if you value the time you don't have to listen to developers bitch and whine.

    No, YOU'RE an idiot, a golden idiot, with no knobs on.

    Very nice fanboy, turning a Debian server compromise into a Mircosoft bash.

    From your post I deduce that you didn't go to college, and can't afford any certifications. And you might be twelve. And English is your second language. God, where to start? How about your awesome web site, www.moderngeek.com? I really like your use of 'Index of /' in the design--very avant-garde.

    So if corporate America wants to trust a black box, let 'em. There's no convincing them anyway. I think differently. I think that if the debian team proves to be efficient and shows some sort of internal public retribution, that corporations will trust an honest mistake over coverups, exploits and scandals that Microsoft have proven itself.
    You'd be easier to understand if you weren't translating from English to Russian and back again before posting. What are you trying to say here? Even if I pretend to understand the gist of it, you appear to be contradicting yourself.

    It is time that we go to corporations and prove to them that university degrees do not prove intelligence in our field, and that a certification is not worth anything more than the paper it is worth.
    I don't think your post is worth the paper it's worth. It certainly isn't your brilliant writing that will prove your intelligence. Just suck it up and get a degree, you might learn how to write a coherent thought.

    Lets push the University system down and bring the Open Source system to the top. We are seen as the smartest and best of the best.
    Look, open source developers aren't considered the 'best of the best' (did you watch Top Gun a lot?) just dedicated. Just because you spend your free time coding doesn't automatically make you a more competent programmer. Sure there are many good ones, but there are many more mediocre ones. Also, I think your university vs. open source paradigm is funny. It reminds me of Time Cube.

    Lets train and educate our gamer friends, leet friends, geeksquad friends(mmm), and other lower tech people that will in turn teach the masses, and then corporations that open source contribution and involvement is an effective way to measure ones credibility.
    Holy shit, 'train and educate...lower tech people that will in turn teach the masses'? Didn't you just finish saying that 'open source developers are almost over the arrogance that once plagued the idea of open source'?

    I believe that if we band together, we can educate and push open source forward.
    If only everyone on Slashdot (who I'm sure thinks just like me) would vote in elections we could elect our own Open Source Presidential Savior who will spread my Open Source ideals throughout the entire world! Rise up, my open source compatriots! Let's show Corporate America(TM) how it's done! I envision a future where everyone is paid according to their worth, and hunger and poverty will be eliminated through the power of Open Source! Hallelujah!

    Fucking moron. You and the two mods who thought you were interesting.
