several hundred kernels

Talk about spelling mistakes, doesn't even make sense. Bottom line Red Hat and IBM are giving their work away for free to China, and ChinaThreat needed to know that. I informed him and you wanted to claim Red Hat doesn't significantly contribute to Linux which is bunk, they have hundreds of programmers working on it including more contributions to the kernel than anyone. The rest is you just wasting everyone's time and this site's bandwidth with your whines that you've been exposed, again, like on most every thread.

If you think you could ever grow up past your lunix stooge phase, you'd answer up on the question of how these 1K "red hat" guys should be allowed to threaten the hundreds of thousands of Windows and Unix jobs out there.

We all know you love your free software, and use it for everything, mindlessly glamorizing it constantly. But if everyone else did the same, and no one used anything but freeware we just shot around the world to every other dictator constantly, how in the heck is that good for US software supremacy? Obviously, it isn't, it's actually the best way to attack our supremacy, to standardize us and the world on the exact same thing.

See if you can muster up an answer for that one.

I never said Redhat did not help with the Linux Kernel, I said they were handed the kernel for free initially. You however claimed that there where 'several hundred' kernel developers so please tell me where is the meat on that claim?

While no one knows for sure how many of their hundreds of programmers work specifically on the kernel,

Funny a few post back you were pretty quick to say there were 'several hundred' kernel developers... now you don't know... Where I come from thats called lying son..

I just don't see the huge deal with "US software supremacy". You seem to be all about the red, white, and blue, but are extremely critical of any other country possibly sharing in power with us. Standardization on Free Software (which is very different from freeware, a concept only a windows user could interchange), would take our "lead", and our communications with the rest of the world may improve as a result. We all exist on the same planet, the US is not the ultimate, and we aren't in a bid for supremacy, that's why we work together with other countries. Also, you seem to think Red Hat = Linux, and you are very much mistaken, Red Hat merely packages GNU tools with a linux kernel, but again, the concept of modularity and customization is lost on a windows user. I prefer using Free Software over what a monopoly tells me to use. Tell me, if MS is so american, why do they frequently break copyright law, a law enforced by none other than your Holy United States of America? It also makes sense to me that I have a choice to use MS or linux, and this is supposed to be a free country, but instead of waving the flag, you'd rather beat us over the head with it.
