And after all is said and done, all that's been demonstrated is the
Filippino's huge capacity to mimick.
Bigyan paumanhin na lamang po ninyo kung ako'y sumabat sa usaping
ito. Kung tunay nating ibig patunayan ang kakayahan nating mga Pilipino, sa
ganang akin, higit na makabubuti na ituon ang pansin at pagiisip sa mga
bagay na may higit na kapanginabangan at katangi-tangi.
Maybe you could contribute to kernel development something that
everybody else has been trying to do but couldn't pull off. Wouldn't it be
something if that were contributed by a Filipino. I dunno, I'm just a
lurker and a newbie at that.
