OK, it's not directly about Linux or the mainframe. But P.J. has some very hot words about Microsoft and SCO (and a bit about Sun). Not the usual fare. A lecture on basic principles.
http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20040405065529259 <quote> Principles aren't "a fine thing to have". They are indispensible, what make humans precious. I was thinking about that even before I read Orlowski's piece, that the two sides in this debate, proprietary and FOSS, are separated by principles. One side says money is a god worthy of worship, worth doing anything for and useful for all things. The other says that some things are priceless, just can't be bought and paid for, and that it diminishes humans when they live selfish lives at the expense of others. There is a price, a toll on the heart, when you love money enough to hurt others, because it's a repudiation of what makes humans more than dogs or pigs. Selling out your principles for anything, let alone money, is pitiable. Being willing to harm your fellow man for a buck is evil. </quote> -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Applications & Solutions Team This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
