once again there's really nothing else that needs to be said.

So shut up already.

No, I don't have anti-American phobia.

Are you really THAT ignorant?

[rzeznikj at stout]

Succinct.

[Redcloak]

How many times must it be said?

Fyodor is an American. Not Russian.

The little birdie sometimes has trouble holding a tune. Once upon a time, Tweety chirped that Linux was stolen American technology being used without charge by the ChiComs and other nifarious ferners. Now it's eeeevil foreign software. No wonder he can't keep an individual's nationality straight.

[rzeznikj at stout]

It's funny and frigtening at the same time...

Linux is a foreign clone of American Unix that came from Finland and has resulted in our Unix technology being transferred into it and subsequently given away to the rest of the world for free. If that's too complex a thought for you, maybe your mother can explain it sometime.

[rzeznikj at stout]

In reality, Linux was based on Minix, which in turn was based on SysV.

BTW--Minix was written by an American expat professor in Amsterdam.

Second, for some reason I doubt that when Linus wrote the first Linux kernels he'd expect it'd have taken off like it did.

Tweet, tweet, tweet... Unix's owners can't do as they please with their own property? That's a catchy tune. Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet...

Jeez Iggle, I knew you were NOT going anywhere when you said this

".....once again there's really nothing else that needs to be said. Goodnight."

but damn I expected you at the very LEAST stay away for at least an hour.

I guess you still have something to say. LOL

You'd have made a great commerce secretary under Clinton, does your red cloak have yellow stars on it? Legal transfers of technology to US adversaries shouldn't be allowed, in this case it's ending up with Iran being able to legally build supercomputers for their nuclear program based on the multiprocessing Unix technology ported to this foreign Linux clone then given away to all takers for free.

[Redcloak]

We're at war with Finland?! Well that's another fine mess Bush has gotten us into. Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet...

[rzeznikj at stout]

Here's another one for your collection...8^)

Damn talk about your run-on sentences.....

[stephenjohnbanker]

No, Clinton does Monica......

See MadIvan's post 7...8^)

[Redcloak]

Clinton heard the term "open source", but didn't catch the word "source". He thought that they were talking about something else.

"She's got an open what? Where?! Which way did she go?"

[rzeznikj at stout]

LOL

[rzeznikj at stout]

Dude, commas and periods are your friends...

[antiRepublicrat]

BS, it was you going on and on about how great you thought this Russian hacker was

And anybody as well versed in security as you claim to be, anybody who knows as much about hackers as you claim to, should have caught that in an instant.

But I was actually going on about the tool nmap. Remember, that was in response to you claiming another FReeper suggested downloading OS updates from "hacker sites" when the site in question belonged to the FReeper, and was only an animation of how easy an update from the official vendor site is.
