i love MS fanboys that like to play lawyer

Just had a coworker who thinks Bill Gates hung the moon in the sky tell me that in order to use a GPLv2 library in our internal software that isn't distributed to anyone we have to send monthly license payments to the author...

I invited him to my first night of Linux class tonight where we watch Revolution OS

I thought this was about the BMW M5! ;-)

I've never understood CEO fanboys. The worst argument I've had in my adult life started with a mild criticism of Steve Jobs, and the Muskrats are even worse.

How do you "say" GNU? In the beginning of the video the narrator says guh-new. I don't think I've ever actually spoken it. I'd probably either pronounce it like the animal or spell it out.

Same here. Could never wrap my head around the whole CEO worship thing.

Especially the way people licked the nuts of Jobs and now Musk. Kind of disturbing..

Had two 20 somethings in my firehouse actually get into a brawl over the Droid/Iphone debate. I was like "you two vaginas got that butt hurt, and are smacking each other over a stupid effin phone" ??

At least back in my day it was Ford vs Chevy!....

just tell the worker you are working in slash dot and they will never grep it.

Like the comment about Gates and the moon.

I detest Microsoft's products as I think they are garbage, but yet I have to put up with them on a daily basis.

He is an old picture from a conference I was at years ago that I openly laughed out loud when it came on screen.

That's because everyone knew it took Mopar to catch a Mopar so they were left out of those arguments!

Ha! I was a huge Mopar guy back in HS and my early 20s. That's all I had. I detested Chevys and Fords! Then over night, I became a blue oval loyalist.
