- alterImperson, on 05/01/2008, -0/+18Never in my life have I read such a horrible description of a story. I would bury this story if it wasn't about something that is actually quite horrifying and deserves attention.
- cak3, on 05/01/2008, -0/+12Agreed, it makes us sound like a bunch of thugs.
- estvir, on 05/01/2008, -6/+15"Lets track down this guy and give him the full digg affect."
Wow, grow up and do something useful. - bosssmiley, on 05/01/2008, -0/+9For once a 4chan meme is entirely fitting: "Not your private army."
- oomfoofoo, on 05/01/2008, -1/+8Tries to hammer ubuntu or tries to hammer Linux? None of the professor's statements singled out ubuntu. Buried for acting like ubuntu is the only thing out there.
- HHP2K, on 05/01/2008, -0/+6"Higher cost of technical support - Open source costs more to support because the software is typically self-supporting."
Uhhh.. ..???? - MewTwo, on 05/01/2008, -1/+7Wow.
- shrewduser, on 05/01/2008, -0/+6which university? maybe some bad publicity will get him fired :)
in all seriousness though he deserves a big fat F on life, its shocking someone so ignorant became a professor. - thewump, on 05/01/2008, -0/+6If he is your English professor I suggest he kill himself.
- Johnny1337h4x0r, on 05/01/2008, -0/+5The irony...
- weizbox, on 05/01/2008, -0/+5Completely agree.
Reality: Professor tries to hammer open source
Article: Professor tries to hammer Ubuntu and open source
Digg: Professor tried to hammer Ubuntu - VIrus9, on 05/01/2008, -0/+5Considering that every one of his statements is flat out wrong, I certainly hope he isn't teaching computer science.
- z0mbie2099, on 05/01/2008, -0/+4And the Idiot of The Year award goes to...
- sq377, on 05/01/2008, -4/+8Learn grammer.
- Phocion55, on 05/01/2008, -0/+4Seems like he based his entire lesson plan off of Microsoft's www.GetTheFacts.com.
- weizbox, on 05/01/2008, -0/+2Where did he try to hammer Ubuntu? I didn't even see 'Ubuntu' listed anywhere in the bullet points.
It starts off as 'The disadvantages of open source are:', not 'The disadvantages of Ubuntu and open source are:' - insllvn, on 05/01/2008, -0/+2I was wondering about that as well.
- MewTwo, on 05/01/2008, -2/+4Yeah, it not only makes you sound like a bunch of thugs, it makes you thugs.
I think when someone is targeted on digg and personal information is given out it's ***** up. Who knows if there is any truth to what you read? And if there IS proof, and they are a complete ***** (like hurting someone or damaging property) then it's alright. But if someone SAYS something you don't like they don't deserve that *****. - colincornaby, on 05/01/2008, -0/+2The professor had some good points, but they were completely outweighed by his completely ass backwards points. "It's not madez by Microsoft! OH NOES! Whats will I dooooos!?!"
- ArthurSucks, on 05/01/2008, -1/+3FAIL.
- Slydevil01, on 05/01/2008, -0/+2Don't start the familiar Digg mob mentality. All of you are completely clueless as to how good of a teacher this man is, he could be otherwise fantastic, and although he is misinformed, it's just a differing opinion over a ***** operating system (or set of software release principles). If anything is made of it, it should be by the kid who made that thread. Him alone.
If personal information starts getting given out again i'll be pretty sad for the state of this site's community. - inactive, on 05/03/2008, -0/+1Incorrect, text of post is not verbatim. Those statements were paraphrased by jaundiced student trying desperately to show up his teacher, so all his friends in the Ubuntu forums would think he stood up to "the Man".
- inactive, on 05/03/2008, -0/+1...the moron that posted this on Digg?
The statements aren't even directly from the teacher, they're just bullet items written by the student to sound sensational to his buddies in the Ubuntu forum. Buried. - Andytom, on 05/01/2008, -0/+1Subby?
- picpak, on 05/01/2008, -2/+2RETARD UNI PROF ***** H8S UBNUNTU??!?!?!?!!/111/1/1/? WTF MAN WTFF?!?!1LP1UJ1[J1L//
- badassninja, on 05/01/2008, -1/+1LOL!!!
- srg13, on 05/01/2008, -3/+3"Yeah, it not only makes you sound like a bunch of thugs, it makes you thugs."
Ah, so one Linux user doing something wrong makes every Linux user guilty? Well, Windows runs on 95% of desktop computers, so almost every serial killer, murder, paedophile, etc. has used it. So, by your logic, ALL WINDOWS USERS are criminals! - Johnny1337h4x0r, on 05/01/2008, -1/+1why is sq377's reply button on MewTwo's window?
dammit - badassninja, on 05/01/2008, -6/+2lol. I am very sorry. I will try to put some more work into it next time. I was shooting from the hip as you can clearly see. Can you give me any tips? (other then go kill yourself. lol )
