Say it again

(heh) Here's the algorithm related to <a href="http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?
story=20050225155855922">this:

if($self eq "MS purist") {
	$a=1;
	until ($a<0) {
		say "We will bury you!";
		pound_shoe_on_podium();
		stand_in_front_of_flag();
		say "It's Un-American!";
		say "It's an Axis of Evil!";
		launch_3rd_party_FUD_campaing();
		$a--;
		if($a <1) {
			$a=3;
		}
	}
	if(all_else_fails()==1) {
		click_heels_three_times();
		chant_repeatedly("There's no place like home");
	}
}

The unending barrage of FUD (from both sides) gets a bit
tiring. There are specific strengths and weaknesses in all operating
systems which brings about the situation "the best tool for a specific
task". Well-run hybrid networks are more secure than well-run
monolithic networks (Before you want to restart that argument: a
single vulnerability won't damage the entire infrastructure.)

For now
the argument has dropped back into the "The End is Nigh" entertainment
category but I do wish that the left and the right would get over it so
the rest of us can get on with our lives.
