Linux and BSD have different development methods. FreeBSD which uses softupdates is developed by committee, while Linux is headed by one guy, Linus Torvalds who picks the methods that prove themselves after much competition. If more than one way proves itself it is accepted too. It is important to note that Linux is the focus of much development from the big Unix vendors, IBM, HP and SGI who make AIX, HP-UX and IRIX respectively. Since they all want to focus on Linux they are porting over features from their Unix's to Linux. From IBM comes the JFS filesystem and from SGI comes the XFS filesystem, both excellent file systems. Each one is worked on by its own respective team so stability IS a priority and is why these two filesystems are not yet approved for inclusion in the main Linux kernel by Torvalds. Ext3 and reiserfs are two other journaling filesystems which while not as sophisticated as JFS or XFS they get the job done. As far as I know only reiserfs is allowed into the main kernel as of yet, ext3 is ready but the ext3 team requested it not be included yet until THEY feel it is ready so obviously stability is a top priority for them as well. Ext3 is great in the way that is 100% backwards compatible with the standard ext2 filesystem and very easy to upgrade to.
When you ask the question "Doesn't it make more sense to pool together its resources to develop only 1-2 solid filesystems?" you seem to think the people working on Linux are all one big co-ordinated workforce. They aren't. Its a "code if you want to even if you suck, don't worry crappy code will prove itself and will be rejected" type of mentality which while it may seem kind of wild, it leads to very fast development. Linux invites development which is attractive. With the BSD's, even though they are open to accepting code from anyone you kind of have to prove yourself before you can get anything significant done and that's sometimes off putting. And having 4 filesystems isn't a bad thing, choice is good. On OS X we have 5 browsers to choose from, OmniWeb, IE, iCab, Opera and Mozilla/Netsapce Navigator. Should they all pool their resources to make one uberBrowser? In Unix we have 3 to 4 major desktop environments, at least 10 different window managers, and probably 15 different text editors. Should there only be 1 or 2 of each? Why? A year from now this will all be a non-issue. Linux will have 4 very stable filesystems. They are all nearing rock-hard stability as it is.
You also have to keep in mind that there's usually 2 or more branches of any open source Unix at any given time, stable and development. For FreeBSD thats 4.4-stable and 4.4-current. With Linux, the even numbered kernels are stable and the odd numbered ones are development. 2.4.x is stable, and 2.5.x (which hasn't started yet) is development. And in Linux there are two main tree's, the main kernel which Linus oversees and the ac-tree which Linus's right hand man, Alan Cox (ac) oversees. Alan Cox usually tests out new stuff first and if it passes his approval he sends it on to Linus who then tests it himself and then and only then does it get into the main kernel.

Oh contrair. A hefty bulk of your stories on OSNews, til now, have been about Be, Palm, Palm buying Be, saving the BeOS, or AtheOS, an OS that, like it or not, is associated with and is very popular with the BeOS world. Until recently, when you bit the Open Source turd in a lame attempt to gain ad-hits by means of the Slashdot Effect, the above stories made up the bulk of your site.

This is ridiculous. That's an infantile excuse. If you can recognise the "limitation" of having a Mediterranean temper, you can alter it. Yet you use it as an excuse, as some compulsory force in your psyche or blood that coerces you... Utter, juvenile, bullshit.

Yet another copout. I do know women, and like every other segment of the population, they exist in flavors having temper, patience, bitterness, joy, tolerance, hate, skill, etc. You're (again) using something inherent about you as an excuse to act against what you state as being the logical thing to do.

My conclusions: as I stated above, you shoved your head up the as of Open Source and Free Software in order to pipe the Slashdot Effect over to your site. It won't last forever, and something tells me your childish attitude towards anything logical and your pathetic excuses for editorial skills will keep OSNews held back to where it was right before Slashdot descended upon it: BeOS-centric and incredibly biased with a very small core audience of 15-year-olds.
I have lots of free time to spend in these projects (OSNews) and interviews, thank you.
Obviously.
Thanks to your wonderful country which does not allow me to work (I am on an H4 visa, my husband is allowed to work, but not me)
What country would that be? A sensible one, it seems, in that they won't allow you to work, but you assume too much in assuming I'm American.
I have plenty of time to fuck up with you, Macintosh bastard (check my coloured MacOSX review on OSNews next week, hehe).
LOL. Please don't "fuck up with me." And oh, the editor of OSNews.com seems to have a heavy bias against Mac. Threatening hard and making fun of OS choice are pre-teen tactics. How old are you supposed ot be? Three words describe you: PRO FESSION AL.
And don't tell me that an editor in chief should talk better because I don't give a monkey what you think.
Precisely two reasons why OSNews.com will fail under your stank wing: Your lack of English grammar while being EiC for an English web site, and your shitty attitude towards standard, relevant skills neccessary to run such a site.
Obviously, you think that being a BeOS bully is uberk00L and running an OS news site is really 1337. A clue: it's not. And here's another: pandering to the Slashdot crowd means you will never be taken seriously.
Others will see you catering to the pillow-biting "Linux is k00L" 12-year-old crowd and turn away from your little biased BeOS-revivalist hidden agenda site.
One of my favorite things to do before work is to stop in and grab breakfast at the good ol' QuickTrip on 119th Street. They have a wide variety of home-cooked-like foods and beverages, and a friendly smile to get you going in the morning in addition to the fine diesel and gasoline offered outside of their store.
My favorite QT breakfast has to be the Bacon Double Cheeseburger. Now I know, it's not really a breakfast food, but damn if I don't wolf it down like it was Gramma's grits! Just take it out of its wrapper, toss it in the microwave, hit the "6" button, and hey-presto! 45 seconds later you've got yourself a man's man's breakfast.
Now one side-effect (if you can call it that, I kind of enjoy it) is that QT food usually makes me fart, and fart a lot. Luckily I'm in a cubicle, but that's not always a guarantee of anal secrecy. The other day a coworker had to go outside, feeling naseous: she insisted something that smelled like a McDonald's breakfast was making her sick, but she didn't know where it was coming from!
I wanted to tell her, "that's QT, baby, not Mickey D's," but I thought better of it and went on with my work, thinking about the sandwich I had eaten earlier. Later, I thought, I'd have another for dinner, with a 64oz. Diet Dr. Pepper refill to wash it all down...

Believe it or not, the majority of Slashdot readers are male, aged 12 to 24, are computer literate or computer proficient, introverted, and homosexual. Slashdot creator and self-avowed homosexual Rob Malda, who, in 1997 in his Holland, Michigan dorm, was running a gay singles' list, had the following to say:
"If I hadn't had Slashdot when I was coming out, I don't know what would have happened. There would have been no one to connect with, no twinks to share my rage with, no bears to gain knowledge from. Slashdot was the ultimate gay hookup and for that reason alone am I thankful I created it years ago."
Obviously, Slashdot serves more than the "tech community" it purports to cater to. In 1999, Slashdot hired then-Wired columnist Jon Katz, another openly gay literary genius. Sporting blue hair and multiple facial piercings, the angst-ridden Katz expresses in his writings are clearly visible in real life. "I'd found a home, with Rob [...] Wired was too straight, but at Slashdot I fit right in."
Finally, in early 2000, public homosexual and Nazi censor Michael Sims joined the Slashdot orgy crew. "I wanted to introduce goat sex and a lot of non-Slashdot, homosexual, erect male penises to the group," said Sims, "so ESR got involved with donkey dicks and we all like to suck each other off." Without Rob Malda, Michael Sims would be nothing except an aggravated gay male without a place to call home.
"Slashdot is definitely the place to be gay" concluded Sims.

Duckpins Behold my first feeble attempt at the world of Computer Animation in the form of Duckpins. Created during Jan-Feb of 96, I wrote, produced, directed animated edited and catered a 60 second CGI short. Download. Watch. Laugh (please?).
Hamster Havoc Following up a smash hit like Duckpins is no easy task, but I'm the only person obsessive enough to try. During the summer of 96, Rob Malda Films brought Hamster Havoc to to net. You can see exciting stills or even download the whole dang clip. It's the story of a boy, a hamster, and- awh nevermind. Who am I kidding? It barely has a plot. Download it- I think its funny.
Literature? Barely. But I might even be considered a writer. Of course, those who consider me a writer are legally blind. Anyway, Here is a little I wrote called Nerds, Unix, and Virtual Parenting. Here's another little essay I wrote about my recent obsession with Juice. Since I wrote those, most of my writings have moved to Taco Hell. I occasionally rant there about anything that is on my mind. Check it out if you like. Or don't. What do I know?
Cartoons I've scanned in and posted a small collection of Cartoons that I drew during high school.

Linux and BSD have different development methods. FreeBSD which uses softupdates is developed by committee, while Linux is headed by one guy, Linus Torvalds who picks the methods that prove themselves after much competition.

One of my favorite things to do before work is to stop in and grab breakfast at the good ol' QuickTrip on 119th. They have a wide variety of home-cooked-like foods and beverages, and a friendly smile to get you going in the morning.
My favorite QT breakfast has to be the Double Bacon Cheeseburger. Now I know, it's not really a breakfast food, but damn if I don't wolf it down like it was Gramma's grits! Just take it out of its wrapper, hit the "6" button, and 45 seconds hey-presto and you've got yourself a man's man's breakfast.
Now one side-effect (if you can call it that) is that QT food usually makes me fart, and fart a lot. Luckily I'm in a cubicle, but that's not always a guarantee of anal secrecy. The other day a coworker had to go outside, feeling naseous: she insisted something that smelled like a McDonald's breakfast was making her sick, but she didn't know where it was coming from!

Believe it or not, the majority of Slashdot readers are male, aged 12 to 24, are computer literate or computer proficient, introverted, and homosexual. Slashdot creator and self-avowed homosexual Rob Malda, who, in 1997 in his Holland, Michigan dorm, was running a gay singles' list, had the following to say:
"If I hadn't had Slashdot when I was coming out, I don't know what would have happened. There would have been no one to connect with, no twinks to share my rage with, no bears to gain knowledge from. Slashdot was the ultimate gay hookup and for that reason alone am I thankful I created it years ago."
Obviously, Slashdot serves more than the "tech community" it purports to cater to. In 1999, Slashdot hired then-Wired columnist Jon Katz, another openly gay literary genius. Sporting blue hair and multiple facial piercings, the angst-ridden Katz expresses in his writings are clearly visible in real life. "I'd found a home, with Rob [...] Wired was too straight, but at Slashdot I fit right in."
Finally, in early 2000, public homosexual and Nazi censor Michael Sims joined the Slashdot orgy crew. "I wanted to introduce goat sex and a lot of non-Slashdot, homosexual, erect male penises to the group," said Sims, "so ESR got involved with donkey dicks and we all like to suck each other off." Without Rob Malda, Michael Sims would be nothing except an aggravated gay male without a place to call home.
"Slashdot is definitely the place to be gay" concluded Sims.
"Definitely the place to be gay."

this is funny, messenger. did yo uwrite it?
Arabs and Persians have had a lot of cultural, religious, and linguistic mingling... But are historically seperate peoples.
Is your Penis Small? Bet that got your attention. Recently I got an amazing offer in the mail that claimed to do fix the problem, and I couldn't help but make fun of it. The Solution to Traffic Jams has been discovered and this is your chance to get in on the ground floor. Level 84 Barb Kills Again deals with the psychology of some Diablo 2 players. This little news bit after reading a Yahoo Story about a 6" Tall Mr. Potato Head Statue being "Rascist".
Duckpins Behold my first feeble attempt at the world of Computer Animation in the form of Duckpins. Created during Jan-Feb of 96, I wrote, produced, directed animated edited and catered a 60 second CGI short. Download. Watch. Laugh (please?).
Hamster Havoc Following up a smash hit like Duckpins is no easy task, but I'm the only person obsessive enough to try. During the summer of 96, Rob Malda Films brought Hamster Havoc to to net. You can see exciting stills or even download the whole dang clip. It's the story of a boy, a hamster, and- awh nevermind. Who am I kidding? It barely has a plot. Download it- I think its funny.
Literature? Barely. But I might even be considered a writer. Of course, those who consider me a writer are legally blind. Anyway, Here is a little I wrote called Nerds, Unix, and Virtual Parenting. Here's another little essay I wrote about my recent obsession with Juice. Since I wrote those, most of my writings have moved to Taco Hell. I occasionally rant there about anything that is on my mind. Check it out if you like. Or don't. What do I know?
Cartoons I've scanned in and posted a small collection of Cartoons that I drew during high school. It's a desperate attempt to convince myself that I'm more than a Code Jockey- underneath this pocket protector clad exterior beats the heart of starving artist. Anyway, you can view these various works of mediocrity that I am so ashamed of, that I've placed them here for public ridicule.
