Linux and its identity crisis
Friday, September 21, 2007 by Philly0381 | Discussion: Personal Computing
If your're interested, check out the c/net News.com link below.
If you've been following the current rift in the Linux community between Linus Torvalds and his minions squaring off against Con Kolivas and the mainstream Linux fanatics, you probably know that it's getting quite heated. You also probably know that these two entirely different ideas could create three possible paths Linux can take for the future: stay geeky and appeal to the advanced tech guru in all of us; go mainstream and leave the advanced functionality and reliable kernel behind to compete with Microsoft and Apple; or face a "civil war" that could lead to total Linux annihilation.

And you notice how it's usually the same old farts who respond every time a necrothread resurfaces?
Well, this one has to get there to check whether it's a legit resurrection or a spam-bot...
Well hat's your story and I guess you're sticking to it. Mine is: time goes so much faster the older you get, so it's not as necro to me as it would be to the yoing uns around here... and regardless of time, it's so hard these days to remember if I've seen a thread before or not.

Now I'm not suggesting anything here... like it could just be a coincidence and the two aren't connected.
Though if anybody notices the smell of sheep, well we all know who brought that.
Of course, we all know that a positive or negative correlation between two things is definite and irrefutable proof that of a causal relationship between them. One caused the other. Ask any member of the church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster for lots of charts proving this. 
OH, real necrothreads on the tv show : 'the Strain.'

Actually, members of the Flying Spaghetti Monster have been more than forthcomng when it comes to charts and irrefutable proof of this, that and whatever will never be in the 5th dimension

Necrothreads attract flies because of their content?
Nah, it's just the smell !
