Linux.com | Debain WrEtch: review of an UnAmerican Linux system: Simply funny. A must read.
From the post:
PARODY: Debain is the only group of software developers who still believe that Richard Stallman invented programming. Everyone else now correctly credits Bill Gates for doing so. Debain developers hold themselves separate from the rest of the Linux community because of their pride in not stealing from other operating systems to build their version of Linux. All other versions of Linux are based directly on Windows.

You can generally recognize a Debain user if you see one, as they customarily wear bright colors, have waist-length beards, and tend to sport pastel eyepatches and/or crack pipes. Debain developers look similar, but they usually carry some sort of small monkey, parrot, or miniature fat pony on their shoulders. It's also easy to recognize Debain developers because none of them are Americans. All true Americans run Genuine Windows Vista, and have no need for Debain.
It is rumored that as many as 110% of terrorists are Debain developers, and that the WrEtch release, occurring as it does so closely to the Vista launch, is a sign that the terrorists wish to leave their mark on Microsoft's profits in particular, and on the US economy in general. Given all of this, it's no surprise that Debain's logo is red and that Debain itself is an ancient African word meaning Down with America.
Anxious Thoughts: Anxiety, Depression, Technology, and Me: This is something for us IT professionals to relate to and reflect upon. Personally, I've never been in such a bad place and god forbid, should this happen to me. All you people out there take a good look at your lives and make mends before it is too late.

Seven Reasons Microsoft Loves Open Source — TalkBMC.
Interesting. And i thought Microsoft and open source had no love lost between them.
From the post:...
They aren’t threatened by open source.
Open source is not the threat; Linux is. Don’t confuse the two. Open source is growing rapidly, but Linux has several distinguishing features that make it the real challenger. It’s more mature than other projects, it has a larger, more organized developer base, and it’s well financed. IBM has spent hundreds of millions of dollars developing, distributing, and advertising Linux, not open source. Microsoft doesn’t fear open source; it fears what the competition can do with it.
One of my colleagues referred me to this url. This is a sneak peek at the next C++ standard dubbed as C++0x. The article is a bit outdated though. Still, i thought it might interest some of us. Now, i have a doubt if this could be the Next Big Language stevey was hinting at. (Be warned, stevey's blogs usually run into some couple of hundred pages ;) ) Technically C++0x can't be a new language. It's just a new standard. If i could venture a metaphor, it's going to be "Old wine in a new bottle with a bit of Fizz and Sparkle". And i don't mean to demean or criticise C++, because C++ is earning my daily bread.
I hope it turns out be as exciting as i thought it could get.
Hello! folks.
Been a long time since i made post. Here's something interesting i came across. A comparison of Linux and Windows Vista kernels. I'm not much knowledgeable about either of the kernels. But, it was an interesting read. All I'm gonna say now is: "Linux rocks".
