POV Linux/Open Source - The Drunk Man

I was arguing with my boss the other day about different OSes. I told him I felt linux and other open source projects, start out as this dude. Who says wouldn't it be great if we could, if I could, if any one could get "name the blank". So they embark on this journey. A really plastered drunk dude filled with dreams(aka tons of ideas/functionality desired). So he declares he is gona go home(aka work on completing his project). Stumbles out the bar (trying to gain footing). And eventually with enough determination he is able to sober up and walk strait (finally producing some usefulness and little stumble here and there). A functioning strong productive/entertaining idea. I don't know if he ever makes it home.

Quite a few of them call friends to help them stand, learn to walk, learn to communicate. Some come to dress him up funny, sexy, light, dark. As long as those friends keep coming together. I feel they achieve greatness.

Summary: Linux/Open-Source + Friends = Greatest OS ever.

That is what I love most about linux is the community.

I get it (though I had to read it a few times in order to get it).

I'm presently face down in the gutter.

But, at least I'm able to crawl forward a little every once in a while...

Don't worry.... A whispering voice once said "if you build it, they will come". I believe the guy was gona build a dog house... he just wanted a dog very bad.... We are building something so much bigger than any baseball field. How do you win the hot-dog eating contest. Just one bite at a time. The more friends you got the more hot-dogs you can eat. Man what a sausage fest.

@brokenman,

hey now...after the last time you had me in a dress, I thought we had agreed that it wasn't nice to scare the kids like that. Please, don't make me go back on my word!

speaking of bars, are you posting from one?? :D

Bars?? If you mean the dirty corner of my basement where I hide my moonshine. Then yes I am posting from a bar.
so to summarize

Code: Select all

Dirty corner w/o Moonshine != bar
Dirty corner w/ Moonshine  == bar
