This Christoph sounds a whole lot another like Mosfet.
Read his posts - he flames the crap out of people that begin to piss him off. Yea, he might be an amazing developer, but all the talent and skills in the world won't get you very far if you are an irrational asshole.
This sounds like an idea cooker up by all of those brilliant webmasters and businesses that thought they could get rich off of the internet by dumbping a whole lot of money into a web site.
Back in my Java days I used Visual Cafe and it was crap. Not only did I have to bother with the language itself, but I had to watch and code JUST LIKE Visual Cafe coded or it would screw up the GUI builder. Also, it - like most IDE's - had a whole slew of buttons and strange configuration options that had to be learned.
When I went back to vi my code time was cut in half.
.. that this was a survey of executives at fortun 1000 companies. The truth is that most executives at these companies would probably not know if there were Linux servers running in their own companies.
I work at one of those companies, and we employ Linux servers for all sorts of things - which is funny because as far as the VP is concerned we are a Novell/HP Unix shop.
Yes, but of those 58.08% of Apache servers, what percentage is running on Redhat, Mandrake, HP, MS - the MS flunkie was right. Microsoft does have the server OS market share.
If you write an exploit for one box running IIS there is a pretty good chance that you can email it to all of your cracker buddies and they can hit 26.47% of the market with it - the same can not be said for the 58.08% of servers running Apache.
.. it really has nothing to do with the future of the GPL. It would be different if RTLinux decided that they did not want to work with the GPL while using GPL'ed software.
This is a company who made an honest mistake and did what they could to fix it. Really, a non-issue. They probably has no clue that they were violating the GPL.
Actually, I would have to argue that Linux is the most capitalist OS out there. Everyone is able to compete on even ground, and the best patches and upgrades make it into the final release.

That didn't work and this probably won't either.
If I was building an IDE it would look like vi.

Somebody needs to mod this up - this is funny shit.
Probably some zealot fag without a sense of humor gave this a -1.
That was the WRONG place to post this type of information. If he wants a new job, he should goto monster.com.
What a jackass.
