He's clearly some ESR clone that's trying to get his "hip right wing
guy" polemic on.
Move aside, John Malkovich, there's a new a**hole on the map. =)

 Its obvious to me now that Linux is a victim of its own popularity
and development model. I have always preferred BSD's way of doing
things and the folks that support it.. except for Theo, that is..

I stepped away from Linux around Kernel 1.2.13, since then the amount
of crap that has been dumped into the kernel is simply astonishing. I
am 100% sure that, now that vmware runs on OS X, I will be finished
with linux for good once I get back to the states.I honestly think
that the #1 goal of linux kernel developers is to make sure that the
kernel takes 20 minutes to build on whatever the current fastest
processor is.

To quote dmr: "The rational prisoner exploits the weak places, creates
order from chaos: instead collectives like FSF vindicate their jailers
by building cells almost compatible with existing ones, albeit it with
more features."  Linux has become a Disneyland supermax parody of what
it set out to imitate.

As for Plan9's technical issues, I would rather have something small,
fast, and complete for the things that i need to do than millions of
lines of code that I don't need, want, or know about doing God knows
what in the background; Plan9's license issues just gives scientists
the excuse to pretend to be politicians. The only thing worse than a
politician is an armchair politician. The Noam Chomsky thing only
works if you focus on issues that really matter... Oh and being damned
brilliant helps, too.
