How did you set up your Linux system to run your Epson photo printer? The devices.html page does not list any six-color printers that I could see, and certainly none of the Epson photo printers. I have two photo printers, and would love to use one of them on Linux, but have had no luck.
This debate over the open source licenses gives developers some very good information. Now each, being well informed, is able to choose whether or not to join in the development effort for Apple or IBM.
RMS cannot force us to call Linux what he wants rather than what we want, and Christianson cannot write a Perl Unix all by himself. Let's just ignore them both and be about our business.
Gee, do you think that this diatribe might have something to do with the fact that Tom's ridiculous effort to rewrite the GNU suite in Perl is failing to attract much of a following?
Nothing like starting a flame war with bogus numbers to get some attention, eh?
Tom is one of the primary reasons I have switched to Python (though the excellence of that language is why I have not switched back). The Python cognoscente are actually decent people.
It's not the expression of opinion that is objectionable, but the use of personal attacks and hyperbole in place of any real thought. I do not really believe that it is the opinion of the above writer that any statement made that we are benefiting from Jon's writing is idolatry, yet he seems to say that it is.
Any real discussion of the merits or flaws in an article would be most welcome, but there's never any point in reading someone's futile attempt to say "I don't like it" in a more creative way. If that's all you have to say, then you have nothing to say.
There is enough of value posted here to make it worth the effort to wade through the garbage. But the garbage does get deep.

As usual, your comments are worth reading. I may not always agree with you, but I'm always happy to read what you write.

Thanks, Richard, Eric, Bruce, et al.
Right. Says one thing, clearly means something else. Disingenuous.

And keep Katz, too.
