Because our kernel is so shitty that it can’t be signed and tracked properly. How dare does MS not force OEM’s to cater to the needs of all the millions of basement nerds.

OEM’s should bootloader lock all PC’s (just for fun) like Sony did so ...

MS and Apple are not sleeping at night because Linux is ahead in USB 3.0 support. Also Windows 8 is stolen from KDE. Never mind the fact that virtually all our apps are buggy rip-offs of old commercial apps and gnome3 and kde4 look like they were designed by ...

MS is finally catching up and forcing users to use CLI workarounds for administrative tasts. Because apparently typing error prone and non-intuitive commands is better than a menu with checkboxes and dropdown lists.

PS. On the side note I think MS devs need a smack in the face before we ...

I believe our own beloved Son O Gawd, Adam, has said this. Or was it Want2BeFree? But it’s quite a common preen in the Looniverse, now that they’ve practically admitted that the only useful thing you can do on a Linux desktop is to run a browser, and ...

Ninety percent of everything is crud.

This is already documented on both Wikipedia and Tvtropes, but since many Raymondites, Stallmanites, and other haters either haven’t heard of it or conveniently forget it when the argument is about something they don’t like, I think it bears repeating.

Sturgeon’s ...

In contrast to Chipzilla, of course.

It seems to have dawned on the Loons that YearOfLinuxDesktop™ isn’t working because the “product” is, well, shoddy and uncompetitive.

Not much they can do about that, really.

But what they can do is to pray fervently for what economists call an “externality ...

This could actually apply to any bit of FOSS whatsoever … assuming you stretched the concept of “development” to breaking point, of course.

Without a credible QA system; without proper testing; without regression tests; without peer review; without, in fact, all that boring stuff that belongs to the Cathedral and not ...

Before I go all tl;dr, this is a genuine trademark. Adam has used it, and I’m pretty sure I’ve seen it somewhere else. Probably by a sock-puppet, but there you go.

The thesis is that you cannot blame Linux (the kernel) for the abysmal multiple failures caused ...
