This is my first post to this list ...... i believe that source code is just that, the SOURCE
/*Top ten on Profanity*/
1) Code at the Source Level would not be seen by the average end user.
2) Compiled Code should not have a fraction of a chance to trigger Profanity for the end user.
3) MOST (non-developers) Rarely [ if ever ] read the Kernel/module Source Code.
4) Quality and RELIABILITY should mean more than a few widely used 4 letter words.
5) How many Windoze xx users have openly and plainly said "Oh Fuck" when all their personal. Files and app.'s just shit the bed ??? <---- common occurrence.
6) Developers should be allowed the freedom to develop and express their feeling and/or frustrations.
7) The corporate world really doesn't even know what a kernel is, let alone why it would contain expletives.
8) I can think of at least 10 Profane words that i have used to describe the reliability of NT.
9) Some how words like "oh that just Stinks" or "that makes me mad" just doesn't quite express my feeling when my new kernel module ive been developing, just rendered my Box useless ......
10) Finally, Some of the best Software Geniuses are more concerned with the task at hand not Political Correctness.
