According to his logic, Mac OS X has killed BSD.  'Huh?'

ndiswrapper (http://ndiswrapper.sf.net/) runs my USB wireless
networking by emulating the Windows NDIS API.  I already use Windows
drivers in my kernel... not that I'm happy about it. :)

They're also considering extending support to winmodems.  And my own
brand of winmodem now works completely natively under Linux.  I guess
it's gone from 'winmodem' to 'software modem'. :)

Never heard of the guy (I'm assuming he's not the keyboard designer
by that name), but he seems to be an efficient generator of useless
white noise. :)
