Title:
Csh Programming Considered Harmful
That was written sometime last millenium, I mean, it's REALLY old. The
question is sort of flamebait (you ought to go ask it on, say, the Linux
IRC channel, for well-reasoned, adult discussion (NOT!)
One could argue that making irrelevant, potentially insulting
statements about alternative operating systems is:
- not adult
- not well-reasoned
- flamebait
And you took it ;-) --- don't read too much into his words.
IRC is the hottest flame war protocol on the planet, and
you're more likely to have large numbers of $any_type_person
on a channel with a large number of users anyway; since Linux
has more users than BSD, it makes sense to me. Chuck said,
"Go to a Linux IRC channel with this question and watch for
something that rivals the Great Chicago Fire happen in 2 seconds."
He could have easily said "##freebsd on Freenode", but it'd
have been a smaller and cooler flame war. He didn't say "Tux
Sucks".
