    I have a few questions, the answers to which I really want to know:

    1. How old are you?
    2. Do you find posts like this funny?
    3. Do you care?
    4. Do you think others find it at all humorous?
    5. Do you think they care?
    6. Have you ever made somebody's day better for no reason?

    I'm sure you're long-gone, but I'd really like to know the answers.

    I'm not Linus Turdballs but I can answer some of yours questions.

    1. I'm 20 years old

    2. I do find posts like this funny because making fun of the open source fags makes my life bearable. I use FreeBSD all day and have nothing better to do than jack off and post AC on slashdot during the summer. I don't have any friends in this town so I can't go out and do anything so I just sit in my parent's basement and make fun of fags of various kinds (open source, arabs, jews, frenchies, english, etc. etc.)

    Since 1991 they have been trying to dupe gulliable manager into moving UNIX shops into targets for IE bugs and snooping. Their most recent overt attempt has been a browser product which they call IE for UNIX

    If you check your freaks list, you will find that I already am aware of your trolling, so there is no point in trying it on me.
