That was one of the most horrible and ill informed reviews I've read in a long time. Note his attitude when he thinks that gimp's file open dialog is part of some unix smugness conspiracy to make life difficult (how hard is it to understand that it doesn't have access to the capabilities of the mac gui, that it's not native?) Also note how awful his review of netscape is below. The guy's a tool. Why does anyone care what he says?
Actually, the interesting bit to me when I read the Spamhaus article entitled, "United States set to Legalize Spamming on January 1, 2004", was that it ought to be awfully easy to filter spam if it must contain some text (and a link?) about how to opt-out. As long as it's clear what is spam and what is not spam, then the probably is almost completely solved.
In what possible sense to BSD's have a "closed" deveopment model? The source code is freely available for reading (via cvs), trusted developers can write directly to the repository and unknown developers can submit patches which are included based on their merit.

to name a few, not to mention using squid in conjunction with apache, which is a big win for static content. not to mention they compared CGI with ISAPI, not, say, mod_perl or mod_jserv, etc.

Yes Mach was designed to support multiple CPU's, but can you point to *any* Mach-based systems that actually support SMP? Linux SMP may not be perfect but it's also not vapor.

With this new RH, anyone know about support for a logging filesystem in the installer/on the root partition? That would be nice...
This is the second time I've seen this comment of 2x. It's a crock of shit:
% uname
Linux
% ls -l
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4118299 Sep 20 1999
% uname
FreeBSD
% ls -l
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 537268 Jun 12 00:26
Looks closer to 10x to me...
