I knew a few geeks not too different from this one when I was in university, but judging by what I have read here, they knew a lot more than he does.
Take his comments criticising the design of the Internet for example. No foresight by only using 32 bit addresses he laments. Wakey wakey, but TCP/IP was never designed to be the infrastructure behind "the Internet", 32 bits were heaps for Cerf and co's requirements. As for his IPv6 criticisms, automatic IP configuration means that admins don't need to remember heaps of 128 bit addresses as he seems to think anyway.
I don't mind that Eugenia posted this interview though, most of what I do read on OSnews is the discussion amongst readers anyhow. I don't expect readers to be geniuses before they can post their opinion.
One thing I would say though, is that it seems few of the article contributers run spelling or grammer checkers. Surely this isn't too much to ask of them.
