I suspect writers of bad sitcoms know nothing about writing good any code. |

So, not only is it a gag-inducing "kids show" filled with stereotyped characters so that the dim-witted audience can understand them, they also can't even get the stereotypes RIGHT? What kind of actual, genuine nerd doesn't appreciate open source? |

> What kind of actual, genuine nerd doesn't appreciate open source? One whose living depends on supporting Windows? Personally, I can learn to support any OS, but some people seem to have problems with anything not made by Microsoft. |

Open Source makes DISNEY feel insecure,... So, maybe it can be considered true,... from a certain point of view... (why do I feel like a force-ghost who's about to be called out on a lie I told?). |

Don't blame a whole company for a clueless writer or two. Disney does own Pixar. Though it does concern me when I go on a ride at Disneyland and the console is running Windows. The entrance gates also run Windows. |

Wellll, on the topic of Disney and national security: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/aug/15/new-tota... |

@jacog: That's one of the most frightening articles I've ever read. |

I think it highly unlikely a media mogul company like Disney would slip in a little known phrase like "open source" without reason. Sounds suspiciously like anti-OSS propaganda to me. Start indoctrinating the little tykes while they are still young and unsuspecting. You know, like Hitler Youth. I don't see any conflict with using OSS on one hand and then with the other, disparaging its use. Since when is it uncommon for dirtbags to practice a double standard. Sure, they can use it. It may be the best choice. But! ...don't dare promote it. Not DRM compliant, donchyaknow. |

> Don't blame a whole company for a clueless writer or two. You're right. Lets blame them for a whole lot more like fu*ked up length of copyright and stealing ideas. |

> ...and stealing ideas. Who, Disney? Surely they would never stoop to such a thing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimba_the_White_Lion#The_Lion_K... On the other hand.... |

> "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." The open source defamation can be adequately explained by stupidity. The theft and copyright manipulation, not so much so. |

"Freetards are, at the time of writing, yet to erupt in protest, but that can't be far off." Microsofties, still searching for virtual Viagra to harden their OS against viruses in the real world, are taking afternoon delights after watching. |

> "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." This case is so easily believable either way... |

Disney World deserve to be sued for defamation and lying. The statement should be retracted publicly and penalized by purchasing TV ads for FOSS. |
| JaseP Aug 20, 2012 11:18 PM EDT |
"Never attribute to stupidity, where Disney is concerned, that which can adequately be explained by malice, a lack of ethics, thievery, slander, libel, bribery and various forms of sundry corruption,..." There,... Fixed that for all of ya! |

And yet, even if they slam FOSS, they'll publish it, too: http://www.disneyanimation.com/technology/opensource.html More hypocrisy from the Magic Kingdom. |
