   (And numerous examples of people he believes represent Linux making   
   stupid comments removed. He has never read any of the descriptions of

   Linux is opensource. That means it is open to all. Google is a company   
   who can shut up and fire people who do not toe the line. Yes, a tyrany

   idiots permission to shot off their mouths.
