This quote examplifies exactly what is wrong with you Linux geeks. How are you going to convince people to adopt Linux by spending all your time bashing Windows? It would be anagalous to Juno spending all its time to bash AOL, and look where it has gotten them!
Did I say it wouldn't be? No... You're the second idiot who can't read their own quoting properly. Let me rephrase it with bolding so you can understand. (BTW: Bolding is when the words are extra big like this )
"Tone down the hobbyist bent of Linux" If you were reading closely, you would see that I said TONE DOWN (emphasis added) the hobbiness (sp?) of Linux. (Tone down as in decrease a small bit) (bit as in part). Computing started as a hobby (hobby is something you have fun doing but don't make money doing)(see Gates, Bill) but now it is a business (something were you make money) (money is that green stuff you buy things with). But, Bill Gates learned that if you made things easier and nicer for the user by taking away the need to use punch cards for software, you could make money off computers, and now we have teh dreaded Micro$oft Winblows.
Sumarry of my comment: As soon as Linex learns it doesn't have to have infighting over wheter to keep the operating system "pure" or actually (*gasp*) MAKE IT EASY TO USE, it will become mainstream.
I don't know if IHBT, but I doubt it. I trust totally in your lack of brains.
Never, at the current rate. The maintainers of Linux (the current standard-bearer of open source) are infighting, bashing, selfish, attention-grabbing individuals. If you look through the last year of Slashdot articles, I'm sure you can find at least 10 or 12 articles relating to infighting on lists. The public doesn't like to hear about the creater of their operating system doing bad things (see the Halloween docs: the first computer news to make the mainstream news). Tone down the hobbyist bent of Linux, and maybe someday we'll be talking about how the stupid Slashdot article that said open source would never be mainstream like we talk about the infamous Bill Gates "64K is enough for anyone" quote.
Maybe: 1. We should tell the whole world how to make a nuclear bomb 2. Coke and Pepsi should release their recipes to the whole world 3. Electronics manufacturers should release specifications and parts lists 4. Everything should be free
It is wonderful to see open source in an integral role in a popular movie such as this. This is just the beginning of the mainstreaming of open source, hopefully.
Their legal actions have been hurting our customers and our business a lot in the last couple of weeks"
I understand that this is ruining peoples jobs and lives, but the business of manufacturing or selling mod chips is obviously against the spirit of the law, if not neccessarily the letter of it. If you don't want trouble from Microsoft and Sony, don't go looking for it.

Because the infighting is public , people know about it -> They don't like that -> They don't use Linux because of it -> There is no mainstream use.

1. Get a cheap PCMICA-ready laptop
2. Get a Firewire card
3. ???
4. Have a portable home theater!
Finally, my dream portable home theater! All you need is a cheap laptop.

...we'll all slashdot the site, and we won't have to worry about idiots like them anymore.

They could sue all the countries of the world for using the term 'visa' to describe papers that allow you to cross international borders.
