  1. Re:Linus on forking... on MS VP Speech Online · · Score: 1

    Lord! They had another kid? I shared the same experience (sans insightful question) 3 years ago at Linux Expo at Duke. I was conversing with Mad-Dog at a booth and L., his wife and an occupied stroller came through. Ten minutes later my wife and I shared the lift with the Torvalds to the second floor and she notices that he showed great family qualities in light of his success. I just do not understand socks and sandels... /. /.

  2. Alan's response posted to a Solaris Box.. cool on MS VP Speech Online · · Score: 1

    The MS weenie made valid points and did not seem to attack by name. I applaud Alan's response, but it seems a little venomous.

    Hey call the Red Hat Seattle office and ask if they are running MS based OS at that "office". 1-800-884-9842

    hmmmpf... got a surprise for ya:)

  3. 4M Million Man M$ March on ESR: Microsoft Could Collapse In 6 Months (updated) · · Score: 1

    1,000,007 IT Directors across the country marched on the Washington Mall today to renounce their MCSE titles. Chants for "We need a GNU deal" were heard. One marcher from Armonk, NY stated he might even spend a few bucks next year in support of the revolution. But seriously, IMHO M$ will exist 6/12/144 months from now. Remeber they have the cash and they are very sharp business folk. Still can't wait for M$ Linux 1.0 :Q

  4. Re:Benefit of the doubt on Red Hat Claims They Started The Open Source Revolution · · Score: 1

    "We did start the open-source revolution" might be applicable to Red Hat if you consider the effects that their marketing has done over the past 5 years. It has increased awareness and encouraged neophytes. I would remove the "r" from revolution and emphasize how the open source movement has evolved over the past few years. No longer is it constrained in use to universities and federally funded research facilities. Mainstream "profitable" organizations now take advantage of the resources GNU/Linux give us. Open-source can be attributed to any person that has created their unique version of "Hello World" (or the tools to create)and then share with anyone that wanted. I do not want a "revolution". I wish for a "perfection". We need to worry less about Red Hat's spin on things and more about how we can increase open source acceptance in the real world.

  5. Re:Another take on the story on Set Digital Music Free · · Score: 1

    "Compensation of $10,000 will be divided among the persons who submit a successful unique attack" sounds like a bargain to disprove a proof of concept not to mention a great marketing tool. To say we put a hack-bounty out, and no one delivered. Also I seem to rem a statement about we can judge or change the challenge at our discretion... hack on... forget money :Q
