The fact that you refer to people who "click 'ok' on all the addons their favourite 'free' download site suggests" as "douchehats" is precisely why the rest of the world thinks IT heads are assholes. And the rest of the world is right to think so. This applies to all your other examples.

So let me rephrase your conclusion:

If you are unable to help and educate your users, your customers, or your students, if you are not willing to make your software, your service or product or whatever it is you provide friendly to non-expert, then my self-righteous friend you should get out of your field and get a fucking factory job, because you are the problem.

Submission + - Duke Nukem Developer Shuts Down (tomshardware.com)

PLSQL Guy writes: "Duke Nukem Forever developer 3D Realms is shutting down, according to Shacknews, who cites 'a reliable source close to the company' who said the developer, along with the recently resurrected Apogee name, is finished and employees from both have already been let go. It looks like all of the Duke Nukem Forever jokes are turning into reality- it looks like DNF might turn out to be the ultimate vaporware after all."

Old School Linux Remembered, Parts 0.02 & 0.03 163

eldavojohn writes "Following our last history lesson of Linux 0.01, the Kernel Trap is talking about the following announcements that would lead to one of the greatest operating systems today. A great Linus quote on release 0.02 (just 19 days after 0.01): 'I can (well, almost) hear you asking yourselves "why?". Hurd will be out in a year (or two, or next month, who knows), and I've already got minix. This is a program for hackers by a hacker. I've enjoyed [sic] doing it, and somebody might enjoy looking at it and even modifying it for their own needs. It is still small enough to understand, use and modify, and I'm looking forward to any comments you might have.'"
