I hate how Eric Raymond invents this whole "culture," which advocates separating from mainstream society, to promote his beliefs and causes which aren't always true. Some examples: 1. Neoconservatism replaced Libertarianism as the "most popular" on the Internet. From what I've seen, most people on the Internet are social-Democrats and anarcho-syndicalists, not conservatives or libertarians. 2. Java replaced C/C++. Java is good for web development, but it can't make real binary software without the virtual machine to run it, plus it's slow and not meant for it. Raymond just likes the fact that class files run across operating systems, so he announces that the new "language of choice" is Java, replacing C++. He is just being a Linux activist. And idiot sheep follow him. 3. Removing words from the dictionary because this OS is dead, etc. That is taken right out of 1984; that's how they would promote the Party and crush opposition. And Raymond promotes Linux. All news sources take his jargon file seriously, especially this "Hacker vs Cracker vs Script Kiddie" nonsense. Why? It's all crap! -- -core_dump -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS/M/CC d- s-:+ a--- C+++ UL+ P L++++ E--- W++(--) N+++ o? K? w(--) O? M-(--) V? PS+(---) PE(++) Y+ PGP- t+ 5?
