Are [Linux users] lemmings collectively jumping off of the cliff of reliable, well-engineered commercial software?

Even more amazing was the realization that God has Internet access. I wonder if He has a full newsfeed?

I once witnessed a long-winded, month-long flamewar over the use of mice vs. trackballs... It was very silly.

Linux poses a real challenge for those with a taste for late-night hacking (and/or conversations with God).

What you end up with, after running an operating system concept through these many marketing coffee filters, is something not unlike plain hot water.

...Deep Hack Mode -- that mysterious and frightening state of consciousness where Mortal Users fear to tread.

...Unix, MS-DOS, and Windows NT (also known as the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly).

...very few phenomena can pull someone out of Deep Hack Mode, with two noted exceptions: being struck by lightning, or worse, your *computer* being struck by lightning.

..you could spend *all day* customizing the title bar. Believe me. I speak from experience.

[In 'Doctor' mode], I spent a good ten minutes telling Emacs what I
thought of it.  (The response was, 'Perhaps you could try to be less
abusive.')

I would rather spend 10 hours reading someone else's source code than 10 minutes listening to Musak waiting for technical support which isn't.

...[Linux's] capacity to talk via any medium except smoke signals.

Whip me. Beat me. Make me maintain AIX.

Your job is being a professor and researcher: That's one hell of a good excuse for some of the brain-damages of minix.

I still maintain the point that designing a monolithic kernel in 1991 is a fundamental error. Be thankful you are not my student. You would not get a high grade for such a design :-)

We use Linux for all our mission-critical applications. Having the source code means that we are not held hostage by anyone's support department.

Linux is obsolete

Dijkstra probably hates me.

And 1.1.81 is officially BugFree(tm), so if you receive any bug-reports on it, you know they are just evil lies.

We are Pentium of Borg. Division is futile. You will be approximated.
