And that Linux statement has to be a joke.

"Oh noes! The Internet market is hax0red by free stuff!"

Actualy no, its true, sort-off... Linux was made by a soviet guy bent on taking over the internet and software market.

How is it considered "taking over" if it's all free and open source?

Just what the fuck are you talking about? Linus Torvalds published the first Linux Version in September 1991, the Soviet Union fell apart in December 1991, but it was long dead before that. And hell, Linux was made as an operating system capable of doing the most basic and specialised tasks when he first announced it, which clearly shows that he didn't have any ambition on taking over the internet and software market. And if he really wanted to do that, then he'd be the most moronic moron I've ever seen, what with Linux being completely free and open to the public.

That and Linus Torvalds is actually Finnish, He was attending the University of Helsinki at the time, but that hardly makes him a Soviet guy or Russian of any sort. He might even be offended if he wasn't a carefree easy going Fin.

I'm fairly certain there have been few Fins hell bent on taking over anything in recent history. Possibly way back in the Dark Ages where everyone was tribal, but since then - not so much.

It's rather sickening when people take advantage of dumb judges, juries, and the law system in general. Like that classic case of McDonalds coffee burning that woman because she spilled it on herself and willing a law suit.

But then again, Apache Chief lost his ability to enlarge, even in the mornings!

They realise it to the public then charge for the upgrades when everyone is hooked.

The Linux system was based on another system that a soviet guy made... although he was trying to take over anything I was just making an anti-soviet statement.

The first un-official linux system was made in 1896, if I find any info about Ill post it here.

UNIX? A soviet system? That's news to me.

1896 was the year that Tabulating Machine Company (later IBM, if I remember it right) was founded. Looking at that name and all the other stuff that I can find in my brain, I'd guess that they specialised on tabulating machines. Calculators even. The first ones were able to sum up fifteen-figure numbers. I'm afraid that this is not enough to speak of an operating system, but it's the first step to a central processing unit.

Good luck next time.

I dont have the energy to debate much these days, so you win, you win this pointless and random argument.

Debates are often assisted by fact. Present a little fact and you'll be well on your way to more pointed and potentially winning discussion.

Of course Kirby also made a strong point. The intermitant use of cartoon images cannot be undersold when entering into debate.
