Are you serious? I have worked with Linux since 2000. And whatever I did not know I asked and read about. Of course I understand the algorithms in the Linux kernel! And when new ones came up I ask! You know like everyone else who builds distros everyday for a living! You think you can make security decisions without understanding what's under the hood? I work with a community and when someone claim something we all go and take a look and ask a lot of stupid questions until we get it. You Kow? Like the way titled scientists used to. They used to review and critique each others work back then. You don't know me fooler and You don't get what open source has become. It's a long way from 2000 and I have written and still am writing lot of code. I made a lot of mistakes and I learn more from it than I would otherwise. > > > Yeah.

That's a nasty piece of branding from codenomicon. Of course mistakes happen. Is Nokia immune from that? Maybe less but you improve after they are discovered right? You have stuff like six sigma and whatever else it is called. You play it like this stupid bug is what the community is good at. Very typical spin from the anti open source camp.

They are major influencers and collaborators and I LEARN a lot from their contributions. And whatever they publish it's mine as long as I want. That's not a bad thing at all. half of these stuff used to cost an arm and a leg to get your brain around. And the other half used to be trade secrets you just can't buy. You don't get what makes open source tick. You don't get what open source has become. And from what Nokia has done in the past with regards to open source your bosses don't get it neither. _________________________________________________ > Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List > http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug > Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
