According to Nathan Hanks, managing director at Continental Airlines Linux developers are a bunch of potheads.
" Having one vendor throat to choke is helpful in crisis situations, Hanks said. An IT pro can't go to the CEO and say that a server is down, "and hopefully some guy in Amsterdam" will get to a fix when he gets back from the "dope house," he said."
Actually, I found this more offensive (especially as most of us don't live in Amsterdam!)
"Nathan Hanks, managing director at Continental Airlines, said, "All the guys hacking Windows are Linux guys." "
What on earth is he on?
He MUST own a lot of MickySoft stock, or be related to Gates or Ballmer. Or, maybe a combo. Fred -- Planet Earth - a subsidiary of Microsoft®. We have no bugs in our software, Never!, We do have undocumented added features, that you will find amusing, at no added cost, to you, at this time.
