Link bait title. So, putting words in other poeple's mouth is what considered as journalism nowadays?

From TFA: '"To me, the fragmentation of Linux as a platform, the multiple incompatible distros, and the incompatibilities across versions of the same distro were my Three Mile Island/Chernobyl," he writes.'

And its from The Register, known for a certain sense of humor. Title as is from article, minus the caps shouting.

Sorry, I didn't mean to say you are putting up a bait link title. I was indeed referring to the The Register for making something sounds different from what it actually meant.

That aside, I am not familiar with The Register or its sense of humor, but I do feel that the article is filled with hyperbole. I guess I just overreacted because journalism today seems are always filled with way too much spices.

It is. In this case I appreciate The Register's approach, taking itself none too serious. Not everyone appreciates it.
