For heaven's sakes, everyone knows the BSDs (FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD) are way more stable, reliable and faster than Linux!

Why is the development tools industry literally phucking us up the ass? Yahoo, Walnut Creek, CDROM and other huge Internet sites relly on the BSDs. It is also a great DESKTOP O/S too if it gets the same offerings that Linux gets! Come on...Mac OS/X is based on FreeBSD! Need I say more??

The day a tools vendor ships a NATIVE version that runs on the BSDs is the day that more and more developers migrate to these same platforms for good!

BUILD IT AND THEY WILL COME!! You guys have no concept of PLANTING THE SEED THAT BEARS BOUNTIFUL FRUIT. Do you?

Finally, you guys are so STUPID that you are blinded by all the media hype about Linux just because it has one guy (Linus), whom everyone's rooting for against "big, bad Microsoft."
What ever happened to supporting the product that's the most STABLE, SECURED, and FASTEST?
Meanwhile, the BSDs came out of the University of California at Berkeley thanks to the great Bill Joy who just happens to be one of the worlds greatest programmers and now Sun's top tech guru. Is it any surprise that Solaris is also doing well? And Sun, shame on you for not shipping a native JDK and J2EESDK for the BSDs! But I predict with Microsoft screwing around with Corel and getting them to move C# and .NET over to FreeBSD, I will bet my mother's retirement plan that a JDK magically appears out of thin air around the time .NET is available! You guys, too, are ASSHOLES in SOME regards -- not ALWAYS! :-)

And you IBM, Oracle (er Horacle??), and Sybase! You ship your phucking products and pump billions into Linux and ignore the cotton'pikin BSDs?? Are you stupid or what??? All I'm saying to all you idiots is to SHIP some products our way! Do you honestly abelieve that Linux is superior to the BSDs? Gimme a break, dudes!

Look at the mess Linux is in with their programming model compared to the BSDs ports concept!
The programmers involved in the BSDs would easily put any of those Linux part time hackers to shame. The proof is in the FINAL PRODUCT.

To conclude, if VISUAL TOOLS like Delphi, C++ Builder, RealBasic, ActivePython, ActivePERL, JBuilder, Dylan, CommonLisp, etc.

And Borland, for Pete's sakes, why don't you at least port the command line version of the Delphi Object Pascal compiler over to the BSDs just like the built-in C/C++ compilers that come standard with any Linux or BSD distro??? For Criss sakes, use your noggin and sow some seeds for future generations!! Shessh!!! Is this so hard to do?? I know I'd rather do my low level coding in Object Pascal than waste time with all of C++'s hassles! You did it already with the command line BCC 5 compiler on X-86...why not do the same damn thing with Object Pascal on Linux and FreeBSD?

Oh well...I just felt that an END USER in the MIS world had to let you astute business wizards know what we're thinking because most of you guys seem to have a pickle stuck up your asses! You simply do not know how to nuture a market that gets no respect from the Visual Tools arena, yet ALL OF YOU ARE PROBABLY USING BSD code PRIVATELY. Right?

Romulus.
