Old School Linux Remembered, Parts 0.02 & 0.03

eldavojohn writes "Following our last history lesson of Linux 0.01, the Kernel Trap is talking about the following announcements that would lead to one of the greatest operating systems today. A great Linus quote on release 0.02 (just 19 days after 0.01): 'I can (well, almost) hear you asking yourselves "why?". Hurd will be out in a year (or two, or next month, who knows), and I've already got minix. This is a program for hackers by a hacker. I've enjoyed [sic] doing it, and somebody might enjoy looking at it and even modifying it for their own needs. It is still small enough to understand, use and modify, and I'm looking forward to any comments you might have.'"

    You know, Lunix is cool and all, but it's really a shame they never bothered to program it right the first time around.

    better days ahead?

    as in payper liesense hypenosys stock markup FraUD felons are on their way out? what a revolutionary concept.

    from previous post: many demand corepirate nazi execrable stop abusing US

    we the peepoles?

    how is it allowed? just like corn passing through a bird's butt eye gas.

    all they (the felonious nazi execrable) want is... everything. at what cost to US?

    for many of US, the only way out is up.

    don't forget, for each of the creators' innocents harmed (in any way) there is a debt that must/will be repaid by you/US as the perpetrators/minions of unprecedented evile will not be available after the big flash occurs.

    'vote' with (what's left in) yOUR wallet. help bring an end to unprecedented evile's manifestation through yOUR owned felonious corepirate nazi life0cidal glowbull warmongering execrable.

    some of US should consider ourselves very fortunate to be among those scheduled to survive after the big flash/implementation of the creators' wwwildly popular planet/population rescue initiative/mandate.

    it's right in the manual, 'world without end', etc....

    as we all ?know?, change is inevitable, & denying/ignoring gravity, logic, morality, etc..., is only possible, on a temporary basis.

    concern about the course of events that will occur should the corepirate nazi life0cidal execrable fail to be intervened upon is in order.

    'do not be dismayed' (also from the manual). however, it's ok/recommended, to not attempt to live under/accept, fauxking nazi felon greed/fear/ego based pr ?firm? scriptdead mindphuking hypenosys.

    consult with/trust in yOUR creators. providing more than enough of everything for everyone (without any distracting/spiritdead personal gain motives), whilst badtolling unprecedented evile, using an unlimited supply of newclear power, since/until forever. see you there?

    "great Linus quote"?! It's handy to know about I suppose and I'm not denigrating the man's work, but dude... If you get your face any farther up his butt cheeks you're going to it belly button.

    It's a computer program not a religion, or at least it's supposed to be.

      A great quote is a great quote, regardless of the person who said it. Admiring a great quote doesn't make you a brown-noser.

      Why you gotta be a hater?

    Motherfuckin' YAWN!!! Who cares? If Linux 0.0.1 is so great, then why the hell aren't you running it on your servers? Yeah, that's what I thought, bitches. Why does every OSS project think we give a crap about how it started? Quite frankly, the history lesson is nothing but narcissism, pure and simple. When I read an OSS README, the history lesson is the first section I skip. Just tell me what it is and how to use it. The rest is just useless trivia for uber-nerds who like to flex their tech-penis by walking around the office distracting anyone who will listen with war stories of how they once installed Linux on a damned flashlight.

  8. MACKENZIE NAKED & PETRIFIED by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Dear Beautiful Mackenzie (an Actual Girl):

    I'd like to sneak up behind you and start fondling you violently and then as you struggle to try to escape I'll take a scientifically-proven magic petrification ray from my bag and zap you with it, and it would first disintegrate all your clothing, leaving you gloriously naked, then it would start the process of transforming your body into marble, inducing in you a massive magically-induced which would be captured eternally as your body is turned into solid stone from the feet up to the head gradually, freezing your final moan of ecstasy as you become a beautiful, cold lifeless statue, but with your mind still alive inside the statue, aware of everything that happens to you. I would put you in display in art museums so that everyone could admire your spectacular naked & petrified teen body, then I would put you on a pedestal in my apartment and admire you constantly, and climb up on the pedestal and make love to your stony form, getting my penis raw & red from the friction, and covering your beautiful hard marble skin with my spooge, my beloved naked-and-petrified queen.

    (NOTE: This is just a fantasy; I would not actually do this.)

    p.s. I like masturbating to your Blogspot picture
