Go Open - Eric S. Raymond Part 1 Full Interview

But who is Eric S. Raymond -- generally identified as ESR? "I wonder that myself,
sometimes. I'm a long-time hacker, active in the Internet culture since the 1970s,
who got unexpectedly famous in the late 1990s..... it took me twenty years to become
an overnight sensation. I either founded or re-invented (depending on who you ask,
and how some history is interpreted; I prefer 're-invented', myself) the Open Source
Movement. ....Today I'm one of the half-dozen or so most influential people in that
movement; in fact, a lot of people would put me among the top three, with Linus
Torvalds and Richard M. Stallman. The community has a tradition of tri-letterizing
its heroes — I suppose that began with Stallman, already a hero when I was a fledgling
programmer in the early 1980s, who was generally known as RMS even then....I think
I started to be routinely triletterized into 'ESR' around 1998 on Slashdot; that
was a few months after the fame thing started to kick in seriously. It's at best
a mixed blessing. Fame is tactically useful, but the pressures and expectations that
go with it can be nasty stuff. If you want to learn more about me, browsing through
my essays would be a good place to start."

[aarsho]

@icguilty Because, clearly, Microsoft has demonstrated that proprietary software is inherently secure, right?

Sarcasm aside, your posts indicate a very basic lack of understanding and knowledge of Linux and your points are devoid of facts. You claim Open Source is insecure? Then you better get rid of PGP, OpenSSL, OpenSSH, and many other security standards/solutions created by the open source/free software community. Troll elsewhere.

[icguilty]

soo u ask to the expert?.. of he going to tell u open source is the best. jajajaaj. but the sad truth is. is jst a bunch of 0 n1. always can be cracked. always have really bad programmers, they make mistake. security level not only depends of sw level, but from other factors. open source is seucre!. jajajaja. LIE!. LIE! LIE!.

[icguilty]
