i agree, but how can one write passionately about being a programmer and programming without giving due respect to one of the most influental and dedicated programmers of all time - richard matthew stallman - by speaking an entire article only of "Linux" and not of "GNU/Linux"?

How can you write a comment without giving due respect to one of the most influential and dedicated programmers of all time - Dennis Ritchie, without his C language neither GNU nor Linux would exist. We should call it C/GNU/Linux. Or perhaps von Neumann/C/GNU/Linux.

Disclaimer: this is sarcasm.

I never had to #DEFINE RESPECT_STALLMAN before I allocated memory or some such, but maybe that's why my programs were always so inefficient and pasta-like this whole time!

hm, i do this #define in every program, but mine look the same as yours.

The two aren't mutually exclusive. One can be an excellent programmer and just say "Linux", or vice-versa. Besides, what does "giving due respect" to rms have anything to do with programming?
