MjDascombe's Journal: Slashdot Pricks vs. Reasonable OS choices

Ok, I know this post is designed to hook people like me into ranting about it, but I'm going to bite anyway. I know it's a joke, but it's wrong on more levels than the author intended.

To imply that somehow the slowing of development of Linux is the wish of Satan kind of implies that the continuation of Linux is the wish of God. For fucks sake, hasnt anyone got a grip on reality any more?

Linux is an operating system, nothing more, nothing less. In all honesty, it's quite an average operating system. If it's considered worthwhile by the majority of people, it'll continue, otherwise it wont. If there is a god, I'm sure he's got more important things to think about - and so should you.

I am completely sincere when I say I would bet my bottom dollar, and even my life, on the fact that this protencious little prick has never contributed a single line to the linux kernel. Do these people even know what they are supporting? I mean, how can you argue "Linux is the will of god, and should succeed at any costs ; but not to the extent that I should learn to help".

I really, really wish we could get rid of all these stupid little linux kiddies waving their linux flags from the sidelines. If you care enough to help, then please do; if not, you can't care that much, can you?

Prick.
