Yes, he said it politely, didn't he? A poison by any other
name is still a poison.
Speaking of poison, I found this article interesting:

Here's something interesting, create a file in Linux, format
it to any suitable Linux standard, then mount it as though
it were a disk:

Create Linux Filesystem From An Ordinary File
Under Linux, you can create a regular file, format it as an
ext2, ext3, or reiser filesystem, and then mount it just
like a physical drive. It's then possible to read and write
files to this newly-mounted device. You can also copy the
complete filesystem, since it is just a file, to another
computer.

You can now create new files, write to them, read them, and
do everything you normally would do on a disk drive. To make
normal user to use this filesystem you need to give valid
permission to the directory holding this filesystem.

There are some slick things one can do in Linux.
You're linking to a blog that just plagiarises and contains
content from other Linux Web sites. I think it has been banned
from Digg by now.
That I did not know. I was going on the content of the site. I
found it fascinating that one could take a file and format, use
it as though it were a hard disk device. It illustrates the
flexibility of Linux.
Linux is truly versatile.
