Maybe she's just really really good at convincing people that she believes in what she says.

There is no question in my mind that this is a joke, (and a very good one at that!) I laughed out loud! Thanks!

[Linux is] a computer program that was initially developed in Finland as a means of circumventing valuable copyrights and patents owned by an American company called SCO Group.
Am I the only one that doesn't remember it this way? As far as I have read Linus tried to make a clone of minix that would run on his PC...

Quote:
A generation of computer users might get use to accepting foreign software hand-outs rather than paying for a superior American products.
Well... Foreign? Doesn't Linux have a bunch of developers from the USA? The thing started in Finnland but I would say that Linux is pretty much Universal...

Quote:
If you see a company using Linux, it may be that they have not paid for this software. Report them to the Business Software Alliance who have the legal authority to inspect any company's computers for illegal programs like Linux.
This is just too stupid to even comment...

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.

Next time somebody asks you how Al Queda agents pay for their rifles and rocket launchers, you can tell them that foreign hackers make software called Linux which helps them steal from Americans.
I just couldn't help but laugh when I read this.
