Open Source hypocrits?

Posted by Jim on September 26, 2005

No, you can’t tell me that the pinnacle of Open Source - http://www.SourceForge.net a site where developers collaborate on open source projects and such halls of Open Source pro Linux anti-microsoftism such as http://www.Slashdot.com and http://www.NewsForge.com are owned by a commercial company which does NOT use or sell open source software for its business? SourceForge.NET itself is not running on an Open Source project? _ NOOOOooooooo

These very sites, which are the nexus by which so many open source projects run - is itself not run on open source software? How can that be? These people really mean it when they post about big bad Microsoft and the demand for open source everywhere. or are they just babies whining outloud for nothing?

How can this be? Well, Open Source is dead. It is a revolution that never happened. it was juts a fad by a bunch of kids who wanted to bash someone at work while at night they bash their parents old music and crappy television shows. In otherwords, clueless kids with too much education and too little hardship in their lives so they have to invent it to give them a sense of low self esteam and a reason to be moody, in black clothes and ponytails. And they flock not to an open source community, one free of ads - ahh that would be a commercial free community like this one http://www.skamarakas.com and related communities. No they should be flocking to an open source community, one where the code it runs on is open for future development and learning under a GNU or other acceptable use langauge agreement - ahh that would be this community running on open source ASP.NET software for our forums.

Holy crap - http://www.skamarakas.com is more Open Source then LINUX stronghold LNUX - go figure. Guess I need a venti vanilla frappachino and let my hair grow long in the back.
