Re: Solaris is now open-source

Quote:
Yoo hoo! Linux != Solaris...
Really? I must have forgoten...

SunOS was once based on Berkley Systems Unix code, but not for that long, Solaris was much modified, most Unix parts were rewritten speciffically for their system, Sun is smarter than using the original code, they have lawyers who know copyright, as well as patent laws, and i dont think they hold license to use Unix, Solaris 10 is such a huge mix of code from different Unis systems. The only true Unix out there is BSD, because BSD is Unix, well technically there's no Original Unix left, for a good reason, 1960 technology is a bit old...
What i meant was the Linux ways. I guess I could have clarified that line by saying GNU will rule the world, but they pretty much mean the same in a sense...
here's why i said what i said:
1) windows releases their code
2) crackers prove that windows code is the most insecure, by releasing a supervirus to destroy the system, and hackers dont want anything to do with windows
3) people doubt their safety with windows OS and realize that they have to switch and as open-source is the way to go, what better system to switch to as the one that defined open-source to start with, and guess what, it is not Solaris or BSD or OS/2 or Minix....

Microsoft, the leader in using innovative tactics to promote irksome experience, coupled with antiquated technology that's held together by a pyramid of makeshift afterthoughts.

Apple, the leader in using irksome tactics to promote innovative experience, coupled with an antiquated core that's enhanced by state-of-the-art afterthoughts.

Linux, the leader in not using any tactics to promote user-defined experience, coupled with state-of-the-art core enhanced by innovative afterthoughts.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
