Drawbacks of Blogging

The five drawbacks of blogging are as follows:  First the initial period takes a lot of hard work and dedication to start and then it takes time and patience to maintain a successful blog.  You need regular posts to keep your blog alive and interesting in order to maintain visitors and to also attract new visitors.  You need to keep your readers entertained so they keep coming back for more or they can lose interest.  Another drawback of blogging is that once you post something it is very difficult to delete it from the web.  You need to be careful what you post so you don't regret it later.  The third drawback of blogging is that people can write something negative about a company and that can lead to bad publicity.  Another disadvantage of blogging is that businesses and companies can get caught up in legal battles if they don't comply to local, national and foreign business requirements.  One other drawback is that people can spend a lot of time in front of the computer and, therefore, other activities get pushed aside.  You can become lazy or just plain neglectful to the point that your not meeting other obligations.  The last drawback of blogging is that it is not a get-rich quick means.  If you are trying to earn money by blogging you need to realize that it takes years before it starts make any substantial amount of money for you.  It can also be expensive if you spend money marketing your blog and if you use affiliates or advertisers to market your content.

Linus Torvalds - Linux Creator

I believe Forbes Magazine has placed Linus Torvald in such high esteem because million of people around the world use computers and networks that are run by his programs.  According to the article posted in Forbes Magazine  entitled, "For The Love of Hackers", the reason they didn't choose Richard Brodie as the most popular programmer on the planet is because the innovations and improvements of Linux outperforms Microsoft.  The article also mentioned that the new versions of the Linux open source programs are posted monthly where as Microsoft Windows operating system updates are only issued anywhere from one to three years.

I would also choose Trovald as the best programmer because Linux OS powers much of the world's computer servers, smartphones, PC's and tablets.

Linus Torvald attended college at the University of Helsinki, in Finland at the age of 19.  He majored in Computer Science.  In the mid 70's Linus bought his own PC and at the age of ten  began to create his own programs using BASIC programming language.  By the time he enrolled himself in college, he was already a successful programmer and has been at it for 34 years.

Linux is a free, open source Unix-based operating system that is used on a variety of devices such as PC's, servers, mainframes, and smartphones.  It is available for the publics use, modification and redistribution.  It was created in 1991 by Linus Torvald.

The every day person uses Linux and may not even be aware of it.  For example:  if you use Google, Facebook or Amazon you are a Linux user.  personal businesses and retail companies also rely on Linux OS.

The difference between Linux and Windows or MAC operating system is that everyone has access to the source code with Linux.  With the Linux licensing freedom you are free to modify the software, republish it or sell it.  You can also download a single copy and install the application on as many machines as you like.  Linux has more flexibility for a desktop application.  The major difference between Linux and MAC's OS is that Linux is open source and MAC's is proprietary.

The advantages to the Linux program is that it enables developers to examine, correct and enhance code to create better programs.  Programmers can make changes to fit their needs and hundreds of organizations have taken advantage of that freedom.  Another advantage is that it is free and runs on a variety of different platforms.

One disadvantage of open source software is the concern of viruses and other security measures.  Developers can use open source software to create programs that may be malware.
