Linus is really really angry cos he was forced to publicly piss on the commercial work (bk) of HIS good friend Larry McVoy and to create an open-source competitor to McVoy's bitkeeper and thereby kick his friend in the face.
This chain of events was triggered by Tridge's work. That explains the intensity of the venom spat out at Tridge.
Tridge did nothing wrong cos globally, reverse engineering is completely ethical and legal for interoperability.
McVoy is a scumbone who has abused everyone involved including his friend Linus, in order to get free publicity for his bitkeeper product.
Linus is a fool to get manipulated so easily by McVoy. It is Linus' inability to distrust his "friend" that is making him say all these weird things.
when the router fails you, you magically forget that it is "Designed in America" or "Made in China" - oh no, we wont curse the Americans or the Chinese.
but when the tech support fails you, you somehow remember that "Tech Support is Indian" and start denigrating them.
It's also amazing how everyone runs into Indian tech support, when only ~ 30% of it is based out of India.
What's even more amazing is that an illiterate like you could boot up a router AND linux. Of course, I am assuming you're illiterate else you would have read the system requirements on the side of the box and realized that LinkSys supports only Windows clients, and they tell you that when you purchase the product, so you dont have any locus standi to complain and bitch about your loss of consumer rights. Linksys didn't screw you, you screwed yourself.
Welcome to Slashdot, where it is OK to be rascist against Indians.
pakistan's Chief Nuclear Scientist personally travelled, executed, and followed up on the nuclear weapons sales to rogue states like Iran, North Korea, and Libya.
In his startling televised confession Wednesday, Abdul Qadeer Khan insisted he acted without authorization in selling nuclear technology to other governments. A.Q. Khan admitted selling nuclear technology to Iran, Libya, and North Korea. A.Q. Khan asked for clemency, but the Pakistani government made no public announcement about whether he is to be prosecuted. The confessed proliferation took place between 1989 and 2000, though it is suspected that proliferation activities to North Korea continued after that date. The network used to supply these activities is global in scope, stretching from Germany to Dubai and from China to South Asia, and involves numerous middlemen and suppliers.
Summary =======
If you think that the chief scientist of pakistan could travel all over the world and SELL nuclear designs AND ENCASH the money AND SHIP the nuclear materials WITHOUT the permission of the government of pakistan, then the pakistanis are too stupid to be allowed to hold WMDs.
If the government of pakistan did allow the transfer of WMDs to Saudi Arabia, Iran, Libya, Syria, and North Korea, then they are too dangerous to be allowed to hold WMDs. (remember 15 of the 19 9/11 terrorists were saudis, and ALL were muslims).
Either way pakistan will be disarmed. Its too much of a basket case to allow them to have WMDs.
======
And as a dessert, let me finish by saying that the money for the 9/11 attack on WTC ($100,000) was transferred from Karachi (pakistan) to chief terrorist Mohammed Atta (saudi) by a certain ISI-trained Saeed Sheikh from Mohammed Khalid (kuwaiti). Saeed Sheikh was also responsible for the murder of Daniel Pearl cos Pearl had almost proven that the pakistani intelligence (ISI) was somewhat involved in WTC. Saeed Sheikh is currently in pakistani custody, but FBI/CIA are not allowed access to him. WHY would an "ally" not provide access to such a critically important terrorist ???? Khalid was caught in pakistan too and handed over to CIA but khalid is not pakistani and hence did not know the internals of the ISI involvement.
H1Bs are the original "techies migrating in search of work" and have been for the last 2 decades in one form or another, unless of course you dont consider foreigners to be humans, in WHICH case this CAN be classified as a "new" problem.

On AMD64 (64 bit), it's no contest. Debian-derived Ubuntu is the clearcut winner. Gentoo, Red-Hat, Debian, Mandrake, they all crash within 1-3 hrs, especially if I do something CPU intensive. My Ubuntu has been going for the last 7 days inspite of all sort of loads... clearly they've done something to make it 100% stable.
I love Gentoo's wealth of packages and Ubuntu does lack in the latest packages esp. on AMD64,... but Ubuntu keeps the kernel going and that is priority #1.
I am switching my home machines to ubuntu. I think the perfect distro is finally here. and I've always been a Gnome fan, so this is purrfect!

Sadly "Republic" does NOT have a single well-defined meaning, and definitely none of its meanings match the one you stated. check with Websters. A republic implies only that decisions are made by a group of representatives, regardless of how they are chosen.
This is incorrect. Republic neither means nor implies: * that "decisions are made by" * "of representatives" * "chosen".
i.e. the group doesn't necessarily make decisions, nor does it have to be representative, nor does it have to be chosen.
The closest meaning to the one you implied is "a body of persons freely engaged in a specified activity."
This complete lack of direction in the word republic is the reason why Ancient Rome, the United States of Scumerica, Iran, and Pakistan can all be described correctly as republics.
To be a republic does not mean that you've defined some sort of an identity. It is a vague and meaningless word.
There's one more output left - i.e thru VGA port, I predict that in 10 days or so someone will come up with a USB-VGA portadisk. Of course MS, in all its wisdom, will then shut off all reads and writes to the VGA port, and all sysadmins will be excited that they have stopped the data from leaking out the VGA port, by cutting off the wire to the VGA port.
Note to MS and Admins - don't fight a losing battle. As long as there's at least ONE output port involved, data can and WILL leak.
Maybe we should go back to punch cards so that the stupid fucks in suits can feel better. I come across admins who shut off other people's USB ports but happily have their own USB ports enabled for burning CDs. OK dork, if your USB port is useful to you, why isn't mine useful to me ???
dumbasses. I've actually walked up to one admin's cube and shown my CEO how I can abuse the admin's cube, copy data and leave a trail TO the admin. Then I asked the CEO in front of the admin, "of course, you're going to fire him now, aren't you ?". CEO chuckled, and said admin hasn't troubled anyone since.
There is NO GPL/Libre/Free licence for the Windows platform. Period.
Therefore even if parted were ported to Windows, the excellant QTParted CANNOT be. This allows your commercial Partition Magic to pull off marketing stunts like disabling Win2k3 support, while supporting Win2k3 in the "Pro" version which costs 10x. That is how QT's licencing terms can undermine the FOSS movement.

Nice spin, my friend and here's why you are wrong.
1) You use words like "close" and "barely overcame", but those words hide the numbers, viz. 90% failure rate. "World" superpower ? Yeah, just like the "World" baseball series that is played by NY versus Chicago. I dont think it is acceptable that a multi-trillion dollar budget military force should see a 90% failure rate against an air force from a developing country - that's my point.
2) its a standard military axiom for conventional warfare that an attacking team needs to be at least 3x to assault a defensive position. So you actually brought up a non-issue.
You BELIEVE that you are Top Gun. In reality, Scumerican forces are worth jack shit. Sorry to burst your bubble, but when you played with the big boys, you lost.
