His badly quoted, out of context, posts demonstrate that he is further out of his depth than BP and is responsible for a far greater level of pollution than any oil company. Regards Gordon -- ox·y·mo·ron n. pl. ox·y·mo·ra or ox·y·mo·rons A rhetorical figure in which incongruous or contradictory terms are combined, as in Microsoft Security, Microsoft Help and Microsoft Works.

Gordon, you are absolutely right about BB on OS. He's like a person who can drive but knows nothing under the hoot. He seems to think the computing world is made up of Windows and PC's, the rest is insignificant. He also thinks being able to write a few client side Web pages he is actually a computing guru. I bet you he doesn't even know the differences between Unix and Linux, Windows and X Window System, etc.

If you believe that Google is causing a "shakeout" in the GNU/Linux distro space, your insane predictions should become even more ridiculous and entertaining. Which GNU/Linux companies do you think will go under first due to their alleged inability to compete with iPad things?
