Hi,

I don't want to bring flame war, but the following Linus' words may be
right:

-----
The fact I dislike about the HP-UX implementation is that it is so obviously stupid.

And I have to say that I absolutely despise the BSD people. They did sendfile()
after both Linux and HP-UX had done it, and they must have known about both
implementations. And they chose the HP-UX braindamage, and even brag about
 the fact that they were stupid and didn't understand TCP_CORK (they don't
 say so in those exact words, of course - they just show that they were stupid
 and clueless by the things they brag about). 

Oh, well. Not everybody can be as goodlooking as me. It's a curse.

-----

Also note how I said that it is the BSD people I despise. Not the HP-UX implementation.
The HP-UX one is not pretty, but it works. But I hold open source people to higher standards.
They are supposed to be the people who do programming because it's an art-form, not because
it's their job.
