http://www.networkworld.com/news/2011/040511-linux-vs-microsoft.html?hpg1=bn Quote from: http://news.slashdot.org/story/11/04/05/2243209/Bashing-MS-Like-Kicking-a-Puppy-Says-Jim-Zemlin "Two decades after Linus Torvalds developed his famous operating system kernel, the battle between Linux and Microsoft is over and Linux has won, says Linux Foundation Executive Director Jim Zemlin. With the one glaring exception of the desktop computer, Linux has outpaced Microsoft in nearly every market, including server-side computing and mobile, Zemlin claims. 'I think we just don't care that much [about Microsoft] anymore,' Zemlin said. 'They used to be our big rival, but now it's kind of like kicking a puppy.' From Android and the Amazon Kindle to embedded devices, consumer electronics and the world's largest websites and supercomputers, 'Linux has come to dominate almost every category of computing, with the exception of the desktop,' Zemlin argues as Linux approaches its 20th anniversary." We won ! Let's now make a new goal: Making entire human civilization be run by geeks, and make the official currency Bitcoin ! Open Source won with Microsoft, so it is clear that Bitcoin can defeat FED & fiat money system ;) The next era of human civilization will be a geek era !! ;) Title: Re: "The war is over and Linux has won" - says Linux foundation CEO Post by: em3rgentOrdr on April 06, 2011, 06:35:34 AM Cheers! Here's a toast as a raise my glass made with open-source makerbot 3D printer containing home-brew beer as I type on my Ubuntu Desktop into an open-source Simple Machines Forum onto a server running Linux.

What makes you think that the government has the capacity to monitor your mail in such a way?

How would they know ? 1.Create a coin mold out of plastic so people can create metallic tokens as physical bitcoins. 2.Fill with gold and silver jewellers wire you melt down into a liquid. 3.Sell for bitcoins. 4.Profit$$ |
