On second thought, I don't know whether to laugh or to cry because idiots like this exist.

In the name of Bill Gates, why did you let the linuxers free on your community???
 
This is going to be the shame of the Bill Gates Fan Network!
 
I cannot hunt the flamers over every community...
 
By the way, you are right debbie, linsux is the most popular base for hackers, and hackers are terrorist who harm helpless users.
 
So, my proposal is that anti terrorism laws should be applied against hackers, and linsux treated as terrorism support tool.
 
Long Live to Microsoft, death to linsux.

quote:OSS (Open Source Software) is a threat to...the Freedom to Innovate by taking away incentive from software developers to create new and useful software tools and applications.

How many times do we have to tell them...how can you innovate when all the source code is kept from everybody?!?

 
quote:Even though Linux is vastly inferior to every version of Windows that is commercially available, some selfish people are starting to use it simply because it is free.
--- End quote ---


Ahem...what Linux are they talking about that's inferior?  And I don't use it just because it's free; I'm getting a new computer soon and I'm going to BUY Mandrake.  That's right- PAY FOR.

 
quote:At best, the whole concept of OSS is socialist and contrary to the American way.

Wow.  Just, wow.   :eek:    I'd like to take this opportunity to quote Master RMS from a 1992 essay:

 
quote:In the United States, any advocate of other than the most extreme form of laissez-faire selfishness has often heard this accusation. For example, it is leveled against the supporters of a national health care system, such as is found in all the other industrialized nations of the free world. It is leveled against the advocates of public support for the arts, also universal in advanced nations. The idea that citizens have any obligation to the public good is identified in America with Communism. But how similar are these ideas?

Communism as was practiced in the Soviet Union was a system of central control where all activity was regimented, supposedly for the common good, but actually for the sake of the members of the Communist party. And where copying equipment was closely guarded to prevent illegal copying.

The American system of software copyright exercises central control over distribution of a program, and guards copying equipment with automatic copying-protection schemes to prevent illegal copying.

By contrast, I am working to build a system where people are free to decide their own actions; in particular, free to help their neighbors, and free to alter and improve the tools which they use in their daily lives. A system based on voluntary cooperation and on decentralization.

Thus, if we are to judge views by their resemblance to Russian Communism, it is the software owners who are the Communists.

So much for that group of idiots.   :D
