I was going to post something along the lines of "if you can't
increase the quality of a product, you can increase its value via
artificial scarcity," but I've been out-trolled already:
Quoting Francisco J Ballesteros <nemo@lsub.org>:
> Sorry to hear that working on it is insulting.
This is either the dumbest thing you've ever said or the best
trollfodder in a while. If that's actually the message you took from
Aram's mail, you're either experiencing a complete failure to parse
English, or you're deluded to the point of uselessness.
It's moderately entertaining to decide which.
Aram's point, obviously, is not that working on nix is insulting.
Pretending you are a better judge than the whole world on whether
something is 'ready to be shared' is insulting. Unless you have
lawyers pointing metaophorical guns at your job, in which case just
say that. This sort of garbage is how we lost version 10 unix.
khm
P.S. I'm sure there are magical secret bunkers across the world where
you all enjoy your private copies of v10. I don't care.
