Ok, it’s official, my FUD piss radar is at it again, this time we have a very, VERY, stupid writer by the name of Matt Fraction, a comic writer of The Invincible Iron Man from Marvel Comics. You can see the article here. My goodness, this guy really has a screwed view about open source. My total favorites are:
“Zeke is a post-national business man and kind of an open source ideological terrorist,”
OH COME ON!!! open source users as terrorists?! What kind of fscking mindset is that?! Certainly, we don’t blow up stuff or kill people just to make our ideals get across. So why the hell are we terrorists?!
“He has absolutely no loyalty to any sort of law, creed, or credo…”
Fsck!!! haven’t he heard of open source licenses?! And yes, we do obey laws you know.
“Windows wants to be on every computer desktop in the world, but Linux and Stane want to destroy the desktop…”
Get your facts straight, boy! Windows is already on very desktop on the planet, you’re so fscking stupid!!!
“He has no headquarters, no base, and no bank account…”
Wait, Red Hat definitely has bank account(s) you know, they certainly have offices, they are corporate but they are into open source.
Well anyway, what do you expect, he’s just a comic writer, part of the much bigger popular culture feeding on convoluted perceptions on open source in general… but… STILL, Marvel Comics should not keep this guy on their payroll. Even if Marvel Comics is in the “make believe” business, open source is a reality, so accuracy is a must which is the responsibility of the writer and the publisher. Fsck that Fraction of a writer!
To ISO: Shut the Fsck Up!!!
Published April 16, 2008 Anything Goes , My Comments , News Leave a CommentIt seems that ISO (the International Standards Organization) is calling for the stop of “personal attacks” against the just approved (foolish,foolish,foolish…) Office Open XML, sans ISO/IEC DIS 29500. Well ISO, here is something for you, STFU!!! One does not have to wonder why the opposition for the ISO approval of OOXML. It was quite absurd that another electronic document file standard is needed when there is already ODF. The existence then of two standards is quite outrageous. There should be only one, for simplicity sake. The OOXML approval then defies logic and common sense, plain and simple. Besides, why would a standardization body approve a standard when it is heavily influenced by one vendor’s product line AND does not use ISO and W3C standards. One has to agree: the passage of OOXML as an ISO standard defeats the underlying purpose of ISO. So ISO, shut up and man up!!!
