The Cydonian's Journal: Gnu-ing Doubts.

... and from the pages of an otherwise extremely readable governmental policy magazine, a quick lesson in how to dis-objectively introduce a long-standing jihad to a fresh audience.

You do this by first instilling fear:

Trouble is, the benefits of open source are not always so clear-cut. Software is too complicated a creation to be captured in rhetoric, and assertions about some of the technical benefits of open source fail to tell the whole story.

Next, claim there is uncertainity, mostly by quoting a thoroughly irrelevant tidbit:

Software, with its millions of lines of code, is so complicated that experts dont know for sure that open source has fewer bugs, nor can they say with certainty that having fewer bugs makes open source more secure.

Finally, as a result of fear and uncertainty, demonstrate doubt:

... software is so complex that serious source code manipulation and maintenance is a high-cost endeavor, not a job one can plunge right into.

... and notice that you've basically repeated the same bloddy point over and over again, adding zero value to an already dry debate.

*shakes head*
