The word "Stalinism" is deprecated, the correct term is "GNU/Communism".

[Commenting in Slashdot after Arnold Schwarzenegger's decision to use
open-source software in the California government:]
> This is obviously because Bill Gates and Steve Jobs are girly-men.
Yeah and what are the offerings of the open-source world? Let's see:
1. Linus Torvalds - Looks like a dweeb, ergo is a dweeb. How girly is that?
(plus his wife can kick ass better than him)
2. Richard M. Stallman - a hippy. How girly is that?
3. Eric S. Raymond - a nice looking man with a mustache. Baby faced, so he
looks a bit girly to me.
4. Larry Wall - a cross between Linus and RMS (i.e: a hippy dweeb) that is
even more girly.
So who do we have left? Alan Cox? OK, he's manly. (huge man, huge facial hair,
etc.) And all the others are so neglible people don't even know how they look
like.
Note: this comment may have been a bit cruel, so sorry. Don't take it too
seriously, especially if you're one of the guys I laughed about. I hold you all
with the greatest respect. Seriously.
Sincerily yours,
Shlomi Fish (who is a quite girly male himself).

Personally, I'd have a far better time writing scripts if I had some more
creative shells to script in...
ASMsh: The Assembly shell. Commands include MOV, SHL, SHR, JNE, etc.
shellTM: Turing machine shell. Only four commands. Read, write, move left,
move right. Capable of producing any programming language imaginable, given
enough time and nerves of steel.
GeneSH: Four commands. G, A, T, C. Need I say more?
Qsh: Only uses one environment variable, which contains all possible values
simultaneously. Method of scripting: isolate the universe in which the
desired result is already accomplished, and intersect with it.
Of course, I never said they'd be easy to use. But then, if these shells
existed, and I knew a sysadmin who used any of them, you can believe
Sysadmin Day would be a far more celebrated holiday.

Hear me out. Linux is Microsoft's main competition right now. Because of
this we are forcing them to “innovate”, something they would usually avoid.
Now if MS Bob has taught us anything, Microsoft is not a company that
should be innovating. When they do, they don't come up with things like
"better security" or "stability", they come back with "talking
paperclips", and "throw in every usless feature we can think of, memory
footprint be dammed".
Unfortunatly, they also come up with the bright idea of executing email.
Now MIME attachments aren't enough, they want you to be able to run/open
attachments right when you get them. This sounds like a good idea to
people who believe renaming directories to folders made computing possible
for the common man, but security wise it's like vigorously shaking a
package from the Unibomber.
So my friends, we are to blame. We pushed them into frantically trying to
invent "necessary" features to stay on top, and look where it got us. Many
of us are watching our beloved mail servers go down under the strain and
rebuilding our company's PC because of our pointless competition with MS.
I implore you to please drop Linux before Microsoft innovates again.
