Real Programmers don't document...user's should be grateful to even
have the software in the first place
Real Programmers don't write in FORTRAN...that's for pipe stress
freaks and crystallography weenies
Real Programmers don't write in PL/1...because ANYBODY can be obscure in PL/1
I forget the rest.

I just dis a search at Amazon.com for the keywords "microsoft windows" and
it shows 3589 matches. I then did a search for "linux" and that keyword
recieved 510 matches. I also was in a Barnes & Noble not long ago and do not
remember seeing nearly as many Linux related books compared to volume after
volume, and sometimes multi volume SETS of books about Microsoft Windows and
NT.

Oh, right. Transmeta will sit there and require Linus to work off the clock
to do things (including porting to Transmeta chips) which benefit Transmeta.
Not.

This is a sign of deficient planning by those who wrote the original API.
The Unix API has grown by only 10% of so in the last 10 years, and
yet, it supports all the same shit Windows does....And yet, Windows
has needed a 200% turnover in 10 years to keep pace with technology.
Why is that?

Why do YOU think that almost all Democrat counties use punch-card ballots
to the exclusion of other more reliable technology?
It wouldn't be so that they can play the "recount" game, would it?
Read the book "Votescam!" (C) by James and Kenneth Collier...
both of whom were MURDERED within 5 years of publishing the book.
