Comment Fear Will Keep Them in Check (Score 1) 406

Steve: The regional governors now have direct control over their territories. Fear will keep the local OEM's in line. Fear of this operating system.
Linus: Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed; the ability to destroy a small OEM is insignificant next to the power of the open source.
Bill: Don't try to frighten us with your sorceress's ways Lord Linus. Your sad devotion to the ANCIENT RELIGION does not help you conjure up the stolen datatapes..or given you the clairvoyance to find the rebels hidden fortress...*choked*

Comment Re:Linux (Score 1) 699

As an Ohio State student running Linux I remain skeptical about future cross-platform compatibility. From what I've seen Linux users are supported even less here than by most hardware companies (which is saying something). I can understand not wanting to deal with supporting X number of distros, but for basic services like networking I think support could be a lot better. To get the school's wireless working in Ubuntu I had to supplement the university's documentation with a tutorial on another students blog, and even then it still seems a little unstable at times.

Don't even get me started on the Residential Network. Earlier in the year I tried to do a netinstall of Debian and couldn't download anything because of the gateway page that only works in a web browser. Long story short, I learned a quick lesson on using a text-based browser from the terminal. It made me feel like a badass, but that doesn't make it any less of a pain.
