That's an answer straight out of opensuse core services? Scary.
Why is this scary?
What Cristian gave as an "answer" to Bob's question was impolitely stinted and arrogant. So what? There's cowboys everywhere. Only why did he bother in the first place?
I think you're being very harsh on Cristian. He posted an answer that was accurate and correct. That doesn't make him a cowboy, by any stretch of the imagination. Some people don't have the time to read a wikipedia of information on computing history to understand why something works the way it does. He explained it, I moved on. Where's the problem?
Coming from a guy with a opensuse signature it starts to get scary. I work for the city of Munich where there is currently a huge OS rollover going on. 15.000+ clients leaving abominably old MS product behind and going "LiMux". Main contractor is Novell.
Oh grow up, it's not scary. Scary isn't a short answer on a mailing list, scary is when your Win2K servers crash after an update that's been pushed from Redmond that you don't actually know about.
I'm not entirely sure that we will want to see attitudes like Cristian's move up the ladder and end up in support one day. So I'm pointing fingers. Thinking it's the small things that add up :) Yes, I'll take the blame.

I propose Cristian gets a pay rise and a promotion! He answered a complex question with a concise answer in a short period of time. I read it and moved on to something more worrying, since I now know it's not an issue. Thank you Cristian, you've made this issue clear. I'll work on something that's actually important, rather than staring at my navel and working on getting fat off the state teat. Best wishes to you and the suse oss developers for 2008, and thanks for a great 10.3 - it's a very, very nice release :) Cheers Pete -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
