He's clearly some ESR clone that's trying to get his "hip right wing guy" polemic on. Move aside, John Malkovich, there's a new a**hole on the map. =)
Its obvious to me now that Linux is a victim of its own popularity and development model. I have always preferred BSD's way of doing things and the folks that support it.. except for Theo, that is.. I stepped away from Linux around Kernel 1.2.13, since then the amount of crap that has been dumped into the kernel is simply astonishing. I am 100% sure that, now that vmware runs on OS X, I will be finished with linux for good once I get back to the states.I honestly think that the #1 goal of linux kernel developers is to make sure that the kernel takes 20 minutes to build on whatever the current fastest processor is. To quote dmr: "The rational prisoner exploits the weak places, creates order from chaos: instead collectives like FSF vindicate their jailers by building cells almost compatible with existing ones, albeit it with more features." Linux has become a Disneyland supermax parody of what it set out to imitate. As for Plan9's technical issues, I would rather have something small, fast, and complete for the things that i need to do than millions of lines of code that I don't need, want, or know about doing God knows what in the background; Plan9's license issues just gives scientists the excuse to pretend to be politicians. The only thing worse than a politician is an armchair politician. The Noam Chomsky thing only works if you focus on issues that really matter... Oh and being damned brilliant helps, too. jcw On Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 8:44 AM, Federico G.
