• Fed Govt Calls Micro$lop a "Pile of Shit"

    The US federal government has referred to Micro$sop as a
    "pile of shit:"

    https://www.propublica.org/article/microsoft-cloud-fedramp-cybersecurity-government

    Shoot! Anybody and everybody with a modicum of digital
    intelligence has known that for a LONG, LONG time already.

    But stupidity prevails. After all, Trump won the election.

    Yes, sir. Stupidity is MicroSlop's (or should we say "Micro$hit?")
    biggest asset.

    GNU/Linux, however, services only the super-smarties.

    GuhNoo: too stupid to create a new operating system, so they cloned an existing one and gave it away. And the clowns are actually proud of

    Couldn't be more self-evident. GNU and the Linux kernel complete what
    was available on top of other Unix flavors, e.g. X Window. But they
    make it free as in freedom. What else would they have even done?

    No, but DumFSck is a shameless liar.

    It takes a special kind of brain-damaged jackass to try to attack

    It implements a POSIX OS, and much better than Microsoft
    ever did.

    POSIX is a set of standards.

    Duplicating every Unix command and functionality is shameless thievery.

    But with the addition of the Linux kernel, GuhNoo was very successful,
    while the guys at WineHQ have had a helluva hard time over the last 30
    years trying to complete their mission to clone Windows functionality.



    To me, RMS made a good decision in choosing a UNIX-like system.


    In retrospect a great decision, actually. An open source Unix-clone
    running on various platforms for free is a cool thing for the world to
    have. The way GuhNoo and the Linux kernel has been adapted to run on so
    many devices and platforms is remarkable.

    It virtually killed Unix, though.

    Too bad the repulsive Richard 'child rape videos on the Internet
    shouldn't be censored' Stallman is involved.

    I enjoy putting him in his place. Feeb never could defend his lies,
    bragging and idiocy, so he killfiled me a long time ago. But I make
    sure he knows I'm still around, watching him slobber.

    Do you understand what kind of fraud he is?

    a fucking break!

    But I am a FOSS person. I can do anything and everything and I can
    do it all extremely well.

    The DoD got their answer ("determine some geodesics for some
    hypersonic cruise missile") and I got my $50K.

    Then I'd write it in C, using a reentrant lexical parser and parallel processing.

    If only they [NASA] had my perfect simulation, perfectly realized with GNU/Linux, it would have saved their asses.

    *my* stuff is what gets NASA to Pluto and beyond

    I know EVERYTHING.

    I am ALWAYS right about EVERYTHING.

    magnificent programming prowess

    I can program ANYTHING.

    I program only in GNU C (but more and more assembly).

    C Programmer Extraordinaire

    assembly language genius

    Perl guru

    I use GNU/Linux exclusively

    I was doing that [assembly programming on CTOS] when I was 12 years old

    I began programming in machine language and I will stay in machine
    language until I croak.

    Writing a BIOS in assembly is "candy-ass, chicken-shit programming"

    How? Did they copy *code*? How many ways and times must we debate this
    shit? Alan swears that WinNT was a rip off, even though Cutler et al
    coded it from scratch. You claim cloning Unix is a rip off. Just
    stupidity.

    How would you expect Wine to keep up with M$'s changes?

    No, it made it better. People adopted it.

    I honestly don't give a damn. I don't know everyone who worked on

    my purposes. Boom.
