Linux: A European threat to our computers

A good laugh.

You wouldn't know this, being Finnish, but people who ardently support the Republican party are often morons. The same applies to people who ardently support the Democrat party. Don't take that blog seriously.

LOL very nice read.. There are some great gems in there.. like "A generation of computer users might get use to accepting foreign software hand-outs rather than paying for a superior American products."

"And guess what software Osama Bin Laden uses on his laptop?
If you guessed it was Linux you would be 100% right. Osama uses Linux because he knows designed to counterfit DVDs, curcumventing the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, and defraud companies like Disney."

I love seeing the comments from people that think it is real too.

Thanks for the laugh!

To quote a famous developer

"There is an entire generation of people growing up believing that x86 is how computers work. This view is retarded by most common standards."

*lol* That's one of the funniest blog posts I've read in ages.

Thanks for linking to it.

"...Osama uses Linux because he knows designed to counterfit DVDs, curcumventing the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, and defraud companies like Disney...."



And it's not all bad, we're in his prayers:

"...Finally, remember to include Linux users in your prayers tonight...."

I feel blessed already.

Hilarious. No with with half a brain could believe "Osama uses Linux because he knows designed to counterfit DVDs, curcumventing the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, and defraud companies like Disney." Obviously not meant seriously.

The whole blog is meant as a joke/satire. Great stuff.

To denote that you're a Republican ( "Shelley the Republican") and follow it up with a bunch of completely unfounded articles with a Christian and Anti-European bias, sure seems more like a parody than a real blog at least to me it does.

[KingBahamut]

Well reading through it, and the comments, it almost looks serious.

Thats the scary part.

The site runs on Apache off a server in Dallas so I guess she's giving aid to Usama Bin Laden, right? I'm pretty sure it's sarcasm. Most people in Iowa, including myself, don't behave like this plus she lives in Iowa City, a typical college town.

Now If she lived in Texas or some other bible banging state I might not be so sure of myself.

Edit: By "pretty sure" I mean about 99.9% sure.
