Hemmendinger commented, "I see a lot more stuff coming across BugTraq [about Linux] than any flavor of Unix or any Microsoft operating system."
This makes no sense for several reasons:
1 -- "a lot" more; how much is "a lot"? 2 -- Linux the kernal or does he mean Red Hat? 3 -- Didn't MS make a big deal about NOT posting to BugTraq for (snicker) "Security Reasons"?
Hemmdinger sounds like a shill to me, and I don't even use Linux (Red Hat, et al) anymore.

Now, will I be better off than my parents? Yep. Wanna know how I know that? Because I know-not guess, not think-but know that I will. I werk my ass off and I am rewarded for it.
Dear Jerk Off--
I was working my ass off and had been for 4 hours when some assholes flew a couple of planes into some buidings down the block from where I was working my ass off. The company I happened to be working my ass off for was a Travel Company... guess what... people stopped travelling and all my fucking hard work meant shit when the economy went to Hell.
Then my company that I had been working my ass off for went belly up. Been tough to get a job lately.
Don't tell me about how hard work means anything. Anything can happen and does. Count yourself lucky.
Linux World NYC, a bunch of fat guys answering questions on a Jabba The Hut set. Me wandering over to FreeBSD and seeing the BSD Grrls in red latex. Me posting rants about the FreeBSD grrls in red latex. Getting modded up for my:

1 -- yeah me too 2 -- CodeTek Virtual Desktop. Yeah it's 20USD but worth every penny. 3 -- See above
When they said, "We need to cut staff," and let me go I told my boss, "Dude you have 2 maybe 3 months and then those NT boxes are going to get unstable and need fixing and then you'll wish you didn't let me go."
3 Months later to the day, they called. I told them I would come back as a consultant for 1500USD an hour. Strangely they declined.

Look no one is learning anything in school. Maybe you are opened up to a new idea but you learn becuase YOU learn, not becuase you are taught. School is about disipline and taxes.

You see the thing of it is, is that whoever this bonehead is, he/she hasn't done any real harm. Go ahead regulate the gs in my rollercoaster, Hell, regurgitate them for all I care. This truly does not matter. The Government (aka The Man) has done YOU no harm, this time.
For the Legislator well this is a huge plus. Most of the State could care less what they've done and as such will not hold them accountable but... overprotective, SUV on the sidewalk at 50 miles an hour chatting on her cell phone, Soccer Mom thinks you're fucking Joan Of Arc saving her little ones from the brain damage she should be doling out with sugary treats, 50 inch TVs hooked to PS2s and the incessant drone of her voice warning them against the evils of the world. You've justified her existence, you've made a positive impact on her life, you have given a legal voice to her constant nagging... You da man!

Holy shit folks those are make believe. In fact, without the "scary" over commercialized, over hyped, mass marketed United States _most_ of those things wouldn't exist. There is no utopia. Every place has evil/bad in it. Some more than others. If you think there is a better place to live on this planet or any other you are free to leave the US. Now I don't mean that antagonistically, I mean it literally. You can leave the US anytime you like (unless you are in jail or serving the military, etc.) This is a GREAT thing about the US. You can come and go as you wish. If you think Canada or France will do you better go. I mean why not? If you think that life on Quark 5621 is going to afford you a "harmonious" life, hop on the next flight to fantasyland and go. Sure we'll miss your 33% but we'll get by. Oddly despite the fact that the US is a horrible, war mongering place humans continue to flock on our shores, leagally and otherwise. As of yet, no mass exodus...
Humans kill eachother all the time. Sometimes they do it for fun. You think we're better than animals because we can move our thumb? Because we made up some religions? Because we communicate in a way _we_ understand? Get real.
Humans have been offing one another forever. Zug thinks you poached on his land you and your whole fucking tribe are dead. Christians think you're defiling their Holy Land, they raise a fucking army to kill you off. World Economy going to shit, people using Deutsch Marks to write on instead of paper, got a glut of 20-somethings? Germany waltzes through Belgium and takes over France. "Hey what the fuck," America says and jumps in while everything is all hot and bothered. Think there's a coincidence that 21 years passed between WWI and WWII? The world just need to grow more army men to finish off the war.
Humans love to hate. Deal with it.
Traitors
You live in the United States. Your are actually bound to defend this country. Literally, legally. It is part of the deal when you live here.
People that complain that we had this coming, we deserve this, this is a good thing are pretty much, fucking traitors. I know you hate Republicans and all that, but if you honestly believe that Pedro Ruiz who was working at Windows On The World for 4.25USD an hour deserved to die becuase the US backs some country, you're a traitor. You should be tried and convicted as such. You are evil, callous and certainly anti-American.
Now I realize a lot of you are youngish and in College or lower and believe the stuff your teachers are telling you. 93% of Accredited College/University Professors who chose to answer the recent USA Today poll said they were registered Democrats and 78% of them described themselves as Liberals. I don't have a personal Limbaugh/Hannity/Gingrich type agenda against any of these folks I just know that once I got out of College and started getting heavily taxed I began to think that maybe the Republicans were right and the Democrats wanted to tax me too much because they liked big government. Of course even later I know they are all scumbags.
But I digress...
You, who would claim you are a Black person before you are American, and as such find the flying of The American Flag offensive (Newsday 09.11.02) I find you offensive. I find you traitorous. I think you should leave and go someplace where they _really_ treat blacks inhumanely.
You who pledge allegiance to your Italian Flag over your American Flag, despite the fact that you have never been to Italy, you too are a Traitor!
It is a privilege, an honor, A GIFT to live in the United States of America. You who wish evil upon the US as you live here. You who wish for the come-uppance of the US, you who hate your own country are Traitors.
Do not quote Civil Disobedience, do not believe that Thoreau was calling for the destruction of the United States, even as HE was opposed The Mexican War. Do not recount the evils of the US WITHOUT recounting the overwhelming GOOD the US has done.

Those of you outside the US who hate us, do what thou wilt but be warned that action against the US often leads to the destruction of the those that would harm us. Yeah we'll eventually rebuild you and then you'll give us back massages and make our fucking TVs.
Americans mindless assholes. Turn off your TV moron
Oh yeah everyone knows how great Canada is. Let's see WWI, Charles Brown lied and said HE shot down the Red Baron... a great Canadian moment. WWII, I believe the Brits said, "thanks for cleaning up the mess halls."
Greatest Canadian export is either Bryan Adams or maybe Shania Twain, tough call.
You live in a silly pointless country that would sell its soul to BE part of America. Your country has done nothing for the world except for Montreal which gave the cowardly French another place to be assholes.
Your citizens come to the US for work, medical and entertainment everyday. I don't see a lot of Americans rushing into Canada.

See the way /. works is that you read ALL the links contained in the main "story" THEN you post.
You should really read ALL the links before you post. IT ALREADY IS A BIG DEAL! THEY (FBI) HAVE SYSTEMS SET UP TO FIGHT/REPORT/RSOLVE THIS.
