Step 1. Apple and Windows users: Find Linux user to fix your machine.....they're just inherently smarter.

Except we all hate both Apples and Windows. So we're harder for those owners to deal with. Because we're smarter then they are.

So all Linux users are Democrats?

So all Linux users are Democrats? Not sure so I'll take a survey for you. But it's probably gonna turn out to be true.

Shouldn't that be "Pic of 2 Libertarians in Action"? It looked like one worker and one supervisor to me. Neither one has a gun so why are they Libertarians?

no comrade, we're all communists.

[MikeFleming]

no comrade, we're all communists. I'm not buying that either. Communism implies a direct, structured chain of command (just like the US military). Linus Torvalds is at the top - but who'se next in line?

If there's only one exhalted leader, that's a religion.

Linus Torvalds is at the top - but who'se next in line?

that'd be Alan Cox; followed by the various high level component maintainers. if both Linus and Cox were put out commission, a new leader would be elected by merit of their git push/pull history, or failing that, trial by combat! (too bad Hans (http://www.murderfs.com/) is behind bars, he'd be a shoe in for that)


that's a religion.

oh, thats GNU/Stallman (http://stallman.org/saintignucius.jpg) you're thinking of.

[edit] and yes, i am completely ignoring the flemming's strawman argument that communism requires a central rigid hierarchy .. because its funny, laugh, damnit!
