`Oh, @#$%. He's right.'

JWZ: And then Nat went back to whichever flyover state Novell is in, and a few days later he said to me, "wow, you really bummed me out, because the dozen other people I had talked to before you were all like, `a free ????????? system, that's an awesome idea!' Then you depressed me, and I came back here and told the other guys what you had said, and they were all, `Oh, @#$%. He's right.'"

Read the whole thing.



Re: `Oh, @#$%. He's right.'

I love this. I've never quite thought of it in terms of helping a 22 year-old get laid, but there is clearly a large set of software for which this is the perfect litmus test.

I think there's another non-intersecting set of software. It's litmus test could perhaps be best described as software that helps the terminally celebate ignore that they aren't getting laid.

The second category is a mind-bogglingly large set of possible software, but since no one wants to admit they aren't getting laid, it's almost impossible to get any traction in building it.
