Linux Kernel Developer Declares VirtualBox Driver "Crap"

Posted by Unknown on from the not-all-code-is-created-equal dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Linux kernel developers have decided to mark the VirtualBox kernel driver as tainted crap for the significant number of problems this open-source driver has caused. The VirtualBox kernel driver reportedly causes memory corruption and other problems. With the driver being flagged as tainted crap, bug reports caused by the driver will be taken less seriously."

    Bingo! This is my biggest single gripe with FLOSS developers/projects in the nearly 15+ years I've used such software. The arrogance of developers to say, "It's open source -- go fix it yourself" is just astonishing

    I know, right?

    I saw somebody give this other somebody a million dollars the other day and the other somebody complained because the money was so heavy as he was carrying it away. How arrogant was it for that giver to actually expect the taker to have to carry all of that money? The first guy should have carried the money for him. And should probably have let the guy fuck his wife too. Some people!

    BTW, you're an idiot.
