Uh. We are talking about error logging, inter-process communication, etc.

Are you sayning pipes, domain sockets or shared memory is dependent on the in-kernel VTY code ?

What are these "configurations" of which you speak?

You never had KDE corrupt its plasmarc files ?

In a world that is terribly out of control.

That is never justified. And frankly that is what is happening here.

Guess you didn't grow up in a worker class family ?

What am I kidding? The "open source" community stopped caring about the effects of their actions years ago. Much easier to just insult Microsoft (with added dollar signs) than worry about your own problems.

I don't think this is particular to the open source movement.
It's rampant all over the Internet.
it's the result of the fact that actions on the Internet rarely have real-world consequences so people feel invincible.
Couple that with this new generation of egotists. Who have grown up around the internet fulfilling their every want.

A tall person is over 6 foot. that has a nice ring to it. 1.8 metres is not human friendly. A foot is about the size of an adult foot, it makes sense.

1.8 Metres is just as user friendly as foot when you're brought up in it.

Also, our language, literature and petry is full of imperial words. We would lose a vital link with the past if we abandoned their use.

And when was the last time you read ancient English scrolls ?
By that logic we would still be writing glyphs and doing arithmetic without the 0.

Not to mention RedHat is not any kind of savings vs. Microsoft..

Have you included hardware costs in your equation ?
Windows Server does need beefier hardware more than not to provide the same level of service
maybe that has changed with Windows Core. But I haven't used it yet, and using
it instead of the GUI costs in ease of administration that Windows seem to offer in favor of linux.

I do find it entirely plausible, however, the idiots have short attention spans, and flit from distraction to distraction constantly.

Everybody has a relative short attention spans these days, we're just bombarded with information day in day out.
