Stupid comment

DonnieBoy:

Your comment about MS being a communist model is borderline idiotic. To then add a rhetoric statement like "all discussions and news are closely controlled by those in power" is even more absurd. I seriously doubt that you have any clue of the differences and similarities between communism and capitalism. I would suggest to you to find some educational materials, starting with "the corporation" (a documentary film). You would VERY QUICKLY find that in this particular case, LINUX is much closer to the communist model (i.e. everyone owns everything, noone is given preference, noone is rewarded for doing better), and controlled news and public discussions are more in line with capitalism and corporatism (i.e. modern democracies). To also believe that MS does not want anyone to know the details of problems....duh. Neither does ANYONE ELSE. In what lala world do you live in? In the one where every company sends out a prospectus of their "bug fixes" and process problems to all their customers and stockholders, outlined in excrutiating detail? Or in the real world where you get a warm and fuzzy financial statement sent once a year by the Enron barons? This is true for every business in every sector and in every country. From the Mom-and-Pop corner stores all the way to the mega-corporations, NOONE will tell you their problems. The idea that Linux, apparently with a lot of magical pixie-dust, will have bugs fixed because they disclose them ("everyone sees the code, so everyone can fix it", right??) is apparently the smokescreen that many have predicted it would be. The sad fact is that at any one time only a handful of people are even looking at the code, a tiny fraction know what it means, and only one or two ever bother to make a difference. And all that out of the "goodness" of their hearts. Sounds a heck of a lot more communist than MS if you ask me.

If you can't intelligently comment on a particular situation, you should just keep "keeping on" instead of spreading nonsensical FUD on forums such as this.
