<p>You could. But your answers to simple questions shows that this is not
the case.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>I attended the Mozilla Summit in Whistler this past summer. It was a
great time outside of getting trapped by a rock slide and having to
take an eight hour detour to get back to Vancouver. What do you think
was the main hardware platform at the Summit? Why would an Open Source
organization like Mozilla give their employees and interns MacBook
Pros? Why would they run their build and test servers on Mac Mini
farms?</p>
<p>I see lots of kids like you that have no grounding in CS and computer
engineering history. Why do I need to learn this? Why are there these
old black and white photos in my textbooks? Who cares about the PDP-8
or the IBM-360. People really used to use punched cards?</p>

<p>You posited something about operating systems which you really know
little, if anything about. If you think that you do, answer me this:
Visual Studio 2005 added a security feature to prevent a security
problem that has plagued Microsoft software products for years.</p>
<p>1) What is this feature?
2) How does it work?
3) Why don’t software developers use it?</p>

<p>If you knew your computing history, you’d know where the angle bracket
quoting style came from.</p>
