    Dude stop talking out of your ass. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about and your smelling up the place.

    Scala is a disaster and probably will need a rewrite for it to be usable outside the hipster crowd.

    Really? No one complains about device drivers on Linux? Where have you been the last 20 years?

    Next time you have a Windows box check the device manager. You'll see almost all the drivers are signed by Microsoft. I should have clarified that these numbers include devs doing device drivers and working on general compatibility issues with various softwares.

  7. Linus does not understand the size of the effort on Linus Torvalds: 'I Still Want the Desktop' · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Microsoft probably has somewhere between 6 and 20 thousand engineers working on device drivers for various windows versions out there making about 80k a pop. Sorry but Linux simply does not have these kinds of resources. It would be nice but I don't see it happening.

  20. Re:Why the Linux Foundation? on Microsoft, Google, Others Join To Fund Open Source Infrastructure Upgrades · · Score: 5, Informative

    Mentioned in the FAQ:

    http://www.linuxfoundation.org...

    For the lazy:

    Why is The Linux Foundation the right forum for this funding?

    The Linux Foundation is a nonprofit organization with strong, existing relationship throughout the technology industry. It marshals the resources of the Linux ecosystem and other innovative open source projects to provide much needed services that are not easily offered by a single community member, entity or company. By raising funds at a neutral organization like The Linux Foundation, the industry can effectively give projects the support they need while ensuring that open source projects retain their independence and community-based dynamism.

    "cutting the number of needed interlinking systems and technology down to a bare minimum"

    Yeah that's the beauty of Java. In our company they use a lot of .NET and many of the teams gave up on moving things to 64 bit. For us with Java we were done in a week.

    Very cool! I wrote a script a long while ago which you might like (or find a use for).

    It's a next-gen script but could be adapted. It's got good pacing and it's an easy read. :)
