why would any sane company drop a well developed, stable, scalable, reliable operating system like HPUX or Tru64 for a hacked together piece of shit like linux?
i mean seriously, slashdot is kidding itself if you other unix hackers will take you seriously.
at the moment i am hacking the IP stack and to be honest its a disgrace. statements such as these:
icmp_param.icmph=*icmph;
icmp_param.icmph.type=ICMP_ECHOREPLY;
icmp_param.data_ptr=(icmph+1);
icmp_param.data_len=len;
icmp_reply(&icmp_param, skb);
are insane. for fucks sake copying data around in an IP stack is retarded and is against the principles of designing a fast IP stack. look at the bsd stack if you really need a lesson.
and it will take all of IBM's $1b to fix the mess that is linux.

maybe because of trademarks?
i dont know, but i think ms might go nuts if it gets even more obvious than KWord or KOffice.
we have the KIllustrator case fresh in our minds.
