<a href=http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=dahmum>dictionary.com to the rescue once again</a>

Also, the entry on OS/2 is rather amusing.

I just mean that thread is a lot older than Google is.

Google always has been and always will be...it just wasn't visible to humans until it got placed on the internet. Much like acts of bestiality.

That's a very important USENET discussion that was saved and later archived in Google Groups. It's basically a back-and-forth between Andrew Tanenbaum and Linus Torvalds (Linux creator) about how open source software, in particular an open source Unix-like OS is superior to commercial software, in this case a Unix-like OS Minix, which oddly enough later became open source. Minix inspired Linux. All the super Linux geeks probably know about this.

Linus Torvalds developed Linux out of semi-dislike of Minix.

Fight fire, with fire.

Douse violent flames with gasoline!That actually works, so long as you use enough gasoline.

Flame wars are silly.
