..., But Not CA

For some reason my mind actually read that as "..., But No Cigar". Good Job.

Who says that only big, militaristic states are capable of manned space flight?

Gravity. That's who.

I'm sorry to see he didn't consider Flask. I've found it to be a beautiful microframework suited for any task one might use Web.py for.
If you are browsing for Python frameworks, you should give it a look.

I find it baffling that, in this day and age, one can still read news articles using the imperial system. About space travel, of all things.

...FUD. When will these tech-pseudo-reporters actually sit down and understand what they write about? Or at least ask someone who does.

At the very least give arguments to their thesis:

"To make matters worse, it's that same mentality that Torvalds espouses that has held the operating system back from becoming a major player in the business. According to its most recent research data, NetApp found that Linux commanded just 0.67 percent of the OS market in January and was barely leading the iPhone, which came in at 0.13 percent of total market share."

Not to mention the constant mixup of Linux, GNU/Linux, X and Desktop Environments.

How many fallacies can you put in one article?

Linus IS one of the major voices for Linux. He IS NOT a major voice on the KDE or GNOME or any other major Desktop Environment, although he has repeatedly stated that he likes where KDE is going, nor he has a leading role in any distribution.

Whoever doesn't understand that the greatest strength of Open Source Software is having a million voices, has clearly been living underground for the past 10 years.
