Sometimes I'll read for the humor value -- but even just doing that has soured
me forever on Linux and Beowolf (sp?) clustering...
Another good example was a recent discussion of flopy drives, with a bunch of
slashheads saying any machine without one was useless, because how could you
flash the bios, etc. Naturally they totally ignored the people who said, gee,
non-braindead hardware can boot from any arbitrary device ...
They really don't want to hear about it if it isn't Linux/Intel and has X in the
kernel and runs Wine really fast so they can play games.
I know -- preaching to the choir...
