I hope that I can last more on this foundation than I lasted at the FSF, where I was removed by RMS after refusing to be an active part of the campaign to rename Linux as GNU/Linux.
RMS Marx Stalin, you never cease to amaze me.

You guys are spoiled by Linux distributions, calling them operating systems.
A operating system proper is just something for a common ground in between the hardware and the applications and to control the use of limited resources, nothing more or less than that. Things like file system layouts and executable file loading mechanisms. As long as binaries can be loaded from disk and invoked from the terminal its an operating system. In the old days this was what we called the Disk Operating System.

Who cares? Both GNU and Linux have Jewish founders. Then Linux is named after Linus Pauling - another Jew.

You kids are spoiled with your disks and terminals. You can also load binaries from cards, tape, EPROMs, etc.

You whippersnappers are spoiled with your binaries. You can also program tabulators using plug-boards.
this thread is 3 years old, that program where MS was supposed to interoperate with open source software died on arrival. I wonder what Miguel is doing now?

The fact that an alternative exists only makes his point more true. Why should that not apply to GNU? GNU didn't invent the standard Unix utilities. I can run Linux with BusyBox, Heirloom, Plan 9 from User Space, or my own implementations that I compiled with tcc or Clang.
On my current box, I am running the NVIDIA driver, the GNU coreutils, and the Linux operating system, therefore I am running the NVIDIA/GNU/Linux operating system.
Enjoy your lack of privacy and security, fagshits.

Are you making fun of the fact that the people who whine about RMS don't bother to read his argument for calling it GNU/Linux, or are you one of them?

Rms is a loser unable to make an OS. He worked for years to come up with the clever mutually recursive acronym "the HURD of HARD of HORD". The shit was doomed and never managed to boot. Bad code, faulty design, you name it.
In the meantime it took the young Linus a couple of days to hack together what would be the successful Linux. Rms went mad and butthurt and has been trying to steal credit since then.
Hell, even tdavis managed to produce something bootable.

When Stallman writes a software that means he asks a student to do it for him. The student is paid with a bunch of nice stories about human fraternity and a better future for you me everybody thanks to free software.

Seriously, look at that fat disgusting piece of shit. I wouldn't eat a sandwich if I knew Stallman eyed it through the window.

Anyway, if Stallman starts sleeping on your couch and you don't know how to get rid of him, get a dog. Preferably a doberman or a rottweiler. Stallman will squeak and run away from your house without checking his mail.
Because that's the efficient way to do it. This is a matter of fixing
bugs. I don't read the source code of Emacs over again each month
looking for bugs. That would be prohibitively difficult. So I wait
for people to report bugs. It's the same for these problems.
In the case of AROS, it's possible I did not ask anyone to do
research. I might have just taken the developers' word that the
system is free. It was years ago and I do not know what happened.
I've spoken with people from MIT, and apparently a lot of kids think it's a huge honor to fetch rms a drink or read a web page for him. Once a Jew, always a Jew, I suppose.
