...what the hell is a "D'Arque Bishop" anyways? It sounds like a metaphor for a diseased penis. And why do you spell it D'Arque? That faux French spelling is as gay as a football bat.
I work as a consultant for several fortune 500 companies, and I think I can shed a little light on the climate of the open source community at the moment. I believe that part of the reason that open source based startups are failing left and right is not an issue of marketing as it's commonly believed but more of an issue of the underlying technology.
I know that that's a strong statement to make, but I have evidence to back it up! At one of the major corps(5000+ employees) that I consult for, we wanted to integrate Linux into our server pool. The allure of not having to pay any restrictive licensing fees was too great to ignore. I reccomended the installation of several boxes running the new 2.4.9 kernel, and my hopes were high that it would perform up to snuff with the Windows 2k boxes which were(and still are!) doing an AMAZING job at their respective tasks of serving HTTP requests, DNS, and fileserving.
I consider myself to be very technically inclined having programmed in VB for the last 8 years doing kernel level programming. I don't believe in C programming because contrary to popular belief, VB can go just as low level as C and the newest VB compiler generates code that's every bit as fast. I took it upon myself to configure the system from scratch and even used an optimised version of gcc 3.1 to increase the execution speed of the binaries. I integrated the 3 machines I had configured into the server pool, and I'd have to say the results were less than impressive... We all know that linux isn't even close to being ready for the desktop, but I had heard that it was supposed to perform decently as a "server" based operating system. The 3 machines all went into swap immediately, and it was obvious that they weren't going to be able to handle the load in this "enterprise" environment. After running for less than 24 hours, 2 of them had experienced kernel panics caused by Bind and Apache crashing! Granted, Apache is a volunteer based project written by weekend hackers in their spare time while Microsft's IIS has an actual professional full fledged development team devoted to it. Not to mention the fact that the Linux kernel itself lacks any support for any type of journaled filesystem, memory protection, SMP support, etc, but I thought that since Linux is based on such "old" technology that it would run with some level of stability. After several days of this type of behaviour, we decided to reinstall windows 2k on the boxes to make sure it wasn't a hardware problem that was causing things to go wrong. The machines instantly shaped up and were seamlessly reintegrated into the server pool with just one Win2K machine doing more work than all 3 of the Linux boxes.
Needless to say, I won't be reccomending Linux/FSF to anymore of my clients. I'm dissappointed that they won't be able to leverege the free cost of Linux to their advantage, but in this case I suppose the old adage stands true that, "you get what you pay for." I would have also liked to have access to the source code of the applications that we're running on our mission critical systems; however, from the looks of it, the Microsoft "shared source" program seems to offer all of the same freedoms as the GPL.
As things stand now, I can understand using Linux in academia to compile simple "Hello World" style programs and learn C programming, but I'm afraid that for anything more than a hobby OS, Windows 98/NT/2K are your only choices.
Whatever happened to the Slashdot PT Cruiser? Does Jon Katz still use it to cruise for little boys or has it been sold for scrap, much like the rest of the open source-based companies soon will be?

I know Slashdot is probably the worst place on the internet to ask a baseball-related question (put down the Jolt, the Twinkies and take off that filthy black T-shirt!) But can anyone explain to me the difference between the following pitches:
Mod this up. Its definitely not offtopic, unless offtopic means "truthful". Kevin Mitnick got what he deserved. By tying him into other legitimate grievances (ie: DMCA, DeCSS, etc) you only hurt your cause by lumping them in with that Mitnick turd.
I've noticed lately a trend in the glorious trolling community that I'm hoping you can help me resolve. Its regarding the naming of trolls. You for example are Receipe Troll and you illuminate our day with your wonderful receipes. There Turd Report is kind enough to keep us posted on his bowel movements, and the Bank Of America ATM is nearing complete sentience.
You'll note that all of these posters have chosen a name that conotes how they troll. So my question for you is this: Since I'm Egg Troll should I discuss only eggs in my postings?
I love you Ralph Nader Jew Hater. Unlike most Slashbots, I can see past all the hate that you spew. I know that you're struggling with your conflicting feelings about men. Right now, I understand you're so far in the closet you're finding Christmas presents!
I just want you to know that when you decide to come out - and you'll feel much better when you do - Egg Troll will be here to give you lots of love and support.
Trollercoaster, I have my own opinions on the failings of Linux. However I'm hoping you can share your thoughts, and enlighten us. Can you tell us what the worst thing about Linux is? I know its difficult to pick just one, but your comments would be most greatly appreciated.
Why haven't we bombed those smug little bastards yet? We should conduct Operation: MacArthur and turn that country to glass. Then we should focus our attention on the old Asian women who ride the San Francisco MUNI busses. These women without a doubt are the rudest, most inconsiderate people in the country...even worse than the Canadians! I propose that after we nuke China, we do something about these rude Chinese grandmas and their selfish behavior aboard our busses.

I don't mean to be troll-ish, but why is Slashdot posting this blatant advertisement as a news story?
Because VA/Linux stock is sinking like a stone and they're desperate to get new funding. Of course the editors of this shitty site won't admit to it, but if you're looking for a lack of hypocracy, you won't find it here.
