I knew what was in store for me when this "journalist" began his story with: "The Linux community was left stunned...." OK, so he gives some questionable statistics...stats that have been correctly countered. Where are the stats to back up that we are "stunned". I have a 12 year old daughter that knows better than that. helios |

We know from your past posts that your Daughter is sharper than you are anyway... so that analogy's blown. :D |

Helios is correct though. The first question is simple "what's a open source community?" Then, "who specifically is in the open source community?" "What specifically tells you they were stunned?" Some rules the writer broke - "don't use generalizations". The first paragraph should go this this: Who specifically did what to whom? When did it happen? What were the results? Where did it happen? How did it happen? You have to get specific and use a referential index or the story is just a bunch of generalizations and is therefore disinformation. The writer suxx. Oh well, we can't send everyone to J-School. |
