I so want to dive into a pile of money - but I was thinking Daffy Duck with the $$$ signs in his eyes and that crazy look.

I don't read regularly but if you haven't covered it already how can you not mention the best all time Linux "
'ditcher' out there - jwz ( http://jwz.livejournal.com/... ).. The bad thing is that he ditched a few years ago (so the freetards will say it's all better now) but if even he can't cope with it who can?

Actually, as a true counter-example, I offer up emacs. It was the FIRST! full-screen text editor that allowed for all the features of editing text we take for granted. If your text editor uses Ctrl+C or Ctrl+V to copy and paste text, they copied emacs. Emacs introduced actual document navigation, editing a document in place, using control commands to move, manipulate and edit text. And its open-source.

Yes, the open source community has issues. It has issues with publicity, usability, and community interaction- all things that companies do well. If you've ever used Redhat, or Solaris extensively, then you know they do these things extremely well. Redhat and Solaris are not intended for desktops, but as hard-core always on servers. And they do it well, with documentation, classes, help lines, and techs galore.

Both the Cathedral and the Bazaar have pros and cons to how they work. Its just the way things are.

Some shitbrain doesn't understand the sheer amount of effort to reimplement something according to those specs.

You could unplug that head of yours from your ass and take a look at their specs. Oh sorry, you are still hungry. Take a look after you finished.

Oh yeah, because implementing the Flash standard is so fucking easy. Straw man argument, mate.

No, it's not a straw man at all. It merely emphasizes how lame open source devs are. Even when a spec is handed to them on an open platter -- and if you've read it, you'd know that the Flash spec is pretty damned good -- they can't match what a closed source company has done. To coin a phrase, it's like watching a bunch of retards try to hump a doorknob.

Was just reading the distrowatch weekly, and this tiny little turd grabbed my attention. A comment made regarding Parsix, a distribution out of Iran and why no one in the west should have any worries about this.

"25 • Parsix (by William on 2008-08-04 17:14:30 GMT from United States)
In my opinion, FOSS is theologically and politically neutral. That is the core of open source."

And Microsoft, meanwhile, drives fossies into fits of paranoia because it is closed and proprietary and costs money. *sigh*

A truly major platform that isn't significant enough to port their actual apps to!

You're right, FOSS isn't quite dead, just choking on its own drool.

Any comment on messaging in Linux that doesn't acknowledge D-Bus would seem to be a bit ignorant or out of date (regardless of the actual merits of D-Bus.)

That's a good one. Hopefully there's enough material there for LH to get angry.

Just saw a good comment on message passing in Linux sucking balls. Maybe a blog post on that subject might be an idea?
