The basis for that last sentence comes from: https://stallman.org/stallman-computing.html "I never used Unix (not even for a minute) until after I decided to develop a free replacement for it (the GNU system). I chose that design to follow because it was portable and seemed fairly clean. I was never a fan of Unix; I had some criticisms of it too. But it was ok overall as a model." What an insufferable lunatic prick: "I was never a fan of Unix", but I'll spend years cloning it and ask others to do the same. wtf? There's a shitload of flame and troll material at that 'stallman-computing' link. The self-important, egotistical blowhard is too strange for words: * "the injustice of nonfree software" * "I never pay for anything on the Web, because that generally requires running nonfree Javascript code in my browser." * "I stopped using it [the OLPC] because the OLPC project decided to make their machine support Windows, so I did not want to appear to endorse it by visibly carrying it around." huh? With that massive belly, he clearly and shamelessly endorses gluttony and obesity. > In 2001, the GNU Project received the USENIX Lifetime Achievement Award for > "the ubiquity, breadth, and quality of its freely available redistributable > and modifiable software, which has enabled a generation of research and > commercial development". I may deserve the USENIX Flame award for my near 20 years of tireless work on cola. Vote for DFS!
