  1. Linux is a virus by wytcld · · Score: 3, Offtopic

    Linux is a virus using human engineering as a vector to infect hardware whose natural symbiont is Windows.

    Linux is a woman who gives you the sex for free but then wants you to maintain her forever; Windows is the (sometimes diseased) whore who takes cash up front but then insists you cannot touch her in certain ways.

    Linux is a vehicle suited for the smart and poor; Windows is a better ride for the stupid and rich. So if Linux wins, the world ends up with more smart poor; if Windows, more stupid rich.

    So then a few hundred years ago, you would've argued in favor of slavery because it was legal? A hundred years ago would you have been in favor of women not being able to vote?
    You're the racist, sexist troll here, buddy. Not me.

    Um. Whatever. Go back to troll school, you need more practice.

    Not all laws are good. That doesn't mean I dislike the good ones.
