    > People looking in at the Linux world see "whoops" releases. That's not good.

    That's because the Linux kernel architecture and development methodology is a hack that can only be carried so far before it collapses.

    Ok, so he forked up this time. We'll forgive him. But next time, he better get it right.

    Why don't we arrange for DoubleClick's e-mail addresses to get onto their own spam lists - see how they like it, or not.

    ...what GNOME and KDE really need is to be beaten up badly by a usability stick. Programmers design the worst user interfaces.

    Oh forkin' great, another feature for the average user to figure out why the fork something stopped working they way it used it. Forkin' programmers should take some UI classes to stop this sort of feature shite.

    You ignorant wanker. All you are doing is hiding the disposal costs - moving them to some future quarter. Where the cost will be much higher than it would be to deal with it today. The current economic models are seriously flawed in that they promote immediate profit without any regard for the impact and future costs. "Yeah, great, we'll set up a chemical plant here, make lots of money." Twenty years later. "Oh, shite, we need to spend millions to clean up the neighborhood - there goes the profit". Ignorant c_nts.

    Right. And the value of our dollar is approaching that of the Mexican peso. Whoop-dee-doo.

    You forgot:

    Linux is a religion.

    Linux is promoted by zealots that forget they are re-inventing the proverbial wheel.

    Linus is a hack that needs to take some 101-level courses on OS design and project managment.

    Another vote for the original theatrical release on DVD. The voice over added to the movie, taking it out leaves the audience guessing as to WTF is going on and why.

    I'd give my left nut for a DVD version of the original theatrical release. The so called directors cut was total wank. Give me back the voice over!!
