I'm amazed that people actually take
Uh, other than the fact that the vast majority of Slashdotters don't seem firmly anchored in reality, I dont have much else to say right now. Anchored in reality? Yeah. I'm disappointed that a supposed educated bunch of people view the world in a strictly binary fashion. Maybe they're spending a little too much time with computers and not interfacing with the wetware much. What could I possibly mean? The "Linux Good, everything else BAD! (Except for OSX)". This leads to "OSS Good! Paying for software BAD!(except for OSX)". You can't rightly preach about the virutes of Open Computing unless youre willing to embrace other platforms, too. Makes you sound like a hypocrite, and a very very bad one at that.
I'm not willing to get into Yet Another Debate on the inherent security flaws in Windows vs. Linux. Linux isn't totally secure by default, either so only the BSD people can rightfulyl chuckle at everyone else.
So give it a rest people. Self-righteousness isn't in vogue anymore and it's an awful long fall from those high horses.
