Quote of the day

By Richard A. Johnson on Published: December 9, 2006 at 12:40 pm

Remember in Independence Day when whatshisface-math-guy writes a virus that works on both his apple laptop AND an alien mothership? Bullshit! If real life were like film I’d be able to port wordpress to my toaster using a cat5 cable and a bag of glitter.

Thanks to rr72 in #ubuntu-chicago for reading /. and bringing this one up in the channel.

Scary thing is there are “smart” toasters out there with CPUs, so porting WordPress to a toaster may very well be possible (assuming a suitable memory upgrade).
As the old saying goes, “Be careful what you joke about being absurd. It might actually be true.”

Who is Richard A. Johnson?

My name is Richard A. Johnson. I am a professional developer, as well as an open source enthusiast, advocate, and author. I spend any free time I can get cycling.

Back in 1994 I was introduced to the world of open source software by installing Linux on a PC I had purchased from the Navy Exchange. At that time I had no idea what I was going up against, but never once did I let myself get frustrated, as Windows had already done that to me. Since then, I have completely immersed myself into the open source world and have been an active contributor.
