I have a dream that one day on the red[mond] hills of [Washington] the [derived works] of former [research projects] and the [derived works] of former [corporations] will be able to [link] together [in] a table of [compatibility]. I have a dream that one day even the [company of Microsoft], a desert [company], sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four [computers] will one day [run] in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their [GUI] but by the content of their [code base]. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day the state of [IP], whose [lawyer's] lips are presently dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, will be transformed into a situation where little [freebsd boxes] and [linux boxes] will be able to [share code] with little [windows boxes] and [solaris boxes] and [run] together as [clients] and [servers]. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day every [interface] shall be [defined], every [bug] and [error] shall be [documented], the [compiler warnings] will be made [understandable], and the [stack pages] will be made [no-exec], and the glory of the [Code] shall be revealed, and all [users] shall see it together. This is our hope. This is the faith with which I return to the [buildworld]. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of [operating systems] into a beautiful [cluster] of [beowulf]. With this faith we will be able to work together, to [code] together, to [debug] together, to [core dump] together, to stand up for [standards] together, knowing that we will be [compatible] one day. ... Sorry for OT/flamebait , I had to share this. ;)
