Open Source Considered Harmful
"It is hot in this kitchen and getting hotter all the time. What to do? Find a way to reduce the heat or leverage the latest asbestos suits? We are mostly doing the latter. -- Open Source Considered Harmful
When I see a comment like this -- "As soon as I think I have a handle on where things are currently at, along comes some new complex twist; some new turn; some new innovation that threatens to take the status quo and put it through the wood chipper." -- it is a clear indication of an individual who has lost the ability to adapt.
His real gripe is not about Open Source but rate of change in general. The reason I say that is did this writer comment about Vista? That was a decent change from XP. Or is he still using XP for a myriad of reason.

Nothing worth seeing here, shall we move along?
