Open Source Developer Knighted
unixfan writes "Georg Greve, developer of Open Document Format and active FOSS developer, has received a knighthood in Germany for his work. From the article: 'Some weeks ago I received news that the embassy in Berne had unsuccessfully been trying to contact me under FSFE's old office address in Zurich. This was a bit odd and unexpected. So you can probably understand my surprise to be told by the embassy upon contacting them that on 18 December 2009 I had been awarded the Cross of Merit on ribbon (Verdienstkreuz am Bande) by the Federal Republic of Germany. As you might expect, my first reaction was one of disbelief. I was, in fact, rather shaken. You could also say shocked. Quick Wikipedia research revealed this to be part of the orders of knighthood, making this a Knight's Cross.'"
I CANNOT believe all you motherfuckers with mod points let my post simmer with -1 "troll".
Does being an American mean anything to you?! I wasn't even trying to piss on other nationalities here. I wasn't pissing on the Brits, I was pissing on some douchebags IN AMERICA with British PRETENSIONS!!!
Fuck systemd. Fuck Redhat. Fuck Soylent, too. Wait, scratch the last one.
America has been destroyed by The United States in that The 48 united States of America are no longer functioning because of Congressional oversight, counterfeiting, and foreign nationals arriving through the District of Columbia trust indentures created by Birth Certificates. There are no Californians, Nevadans, Arizonans, and such anymore; only US'ians, those are the foreigners and they bring their Titles of Nobility with them that enfranchize and disqualify them from being in the few remaining several States or either one of The 48 united States of America.
Now you have Bary Sotoro (Barack Obama) having quoted as saying "this is a nation of cowards" just because none have any merit to approach him and address the National Emergency he and all prior executives sign into motion extending back to the Articles of Confederation. Prior to the Articles of Confederation, The United States was a foreign nation created in 1754 by Moroccan Moors because the Colonies wouldn't allow them citzenship to the Several States and even into the rollover. Back then, the first 10 presidents before military Dictator George Washington, it as a title of nobility to address as The President of the United States. This is yet to coincide with a federal corporation in the District of Columbia penned as "United States" and you can validate that by referencing Uniform Commercial Code under the section of Security Transactions to Location of Debtor to know that Abraham Lincoln's dummy-nation The United States is located in the District of Columbia to animate a federal corporation "United States."
Open source developers, then, have at least three common traits with medieval knights: unshaven, smelly and annoying. Croatia Apartments
