German Parliament Considers Linux

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the sprechen-sie-linux dept.

daramannen writes ""The committee is examining whether switching the Bundestag's more than 5,000 computers to open source would improve stability and security, as well as save money, Schroer said. By the committee's estimate, implementing open source software throughout the federal government could result in savings of 250 million marks (US$116 million)." "

    Hello. Welcome to the Troll Tuesday edition of the Turd Report! I did not eat very much, so today's turd was small. I had an order of chicken strips with fries. I also drank a lot of root beer. It took a while for the turd to get started. This made me think it was going to be a massive log. But, it plopped out quick. Two more just like it came out aferwards. The whole process took about 2 minutes; which is short for some of my previous dumps. The looked like slightly squished golfballs and there was no smell. I give these turds a 6.

      I've been having some lack luster turds as of late, so this ranking is kind of a morale booster was it were. So, the 6 is kinda inflated.

      Try to relax as much as possible when you want to snake out a long one. Constantly try to push outward while not retracting your sphincter for turds of one meter or more.

  2. How does David Hasselhoff feel about Linux? by dave-fu · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    It's well-known that all Germans love David Hasselhoff, so I'm thinking that when he's not headlining as the Prince of Lies, Satan, he must have a secret thing for Linux.

    I hope you guys think Allah will save you from bullets. Man is it funny when a group of idiots from a 3rd world country think they can push people around and get away with it. We would have put concentration camps in your little country if we didn't have that pesky UN to deal with.

    Yes.

    And people who make horse buggies are artisans with skills greater than the average Auto worker in Detroit.

    That doesn't mean horse buggies are gonna take over the market.
