Moms Go Linux, And Other Windependence Winners

An anonymous reader writes "There's an entertaining article over at DesktopLinux.com entitled "Why Aren't All Our Moms Running Linux?", one of the winners of their recent wIndependence Day essay contest. From the introduction: 'Why aren't all our moms running Linux? This is a serious question, so don't laugh. I used to get phone calls about once a week, on average; it's my mom, telling me that "my computer is running out of virtual memory" or "my email keeps beeping at me" or "I can't read this document" or (the best one) "my computer is *broken*." I knew that, at the time, she was of course not running Linux. Then, one day, listening to yet another complaint, it hit me. Why aren't all our moms running Linux on their computers?" Maybe it's the cuddly Penguin logo? ;-)" They're adding the winning entries to the site week by week - I wonder how many are from Slashdot readers.

    HELLO?!?!?! Linux is **not** the end all, be all operating system! It is FAR from it! Stop thinking it! Mom won't use Linux because Linux is **not** user friendly. Linux is not a desktop operating system. Linux is an EDUCATIONAL and EXPERIMENTAL operating system used by people with a bigger understanding of how computers work and want to expand their knowledge even more. Most people don't want to get "in deep" into the system, they just want to use their word, excel, solitaire. They could care less that the vm of Linux is more computationally inexpensive than that in Windows.

    Men: This guide is for WOMEN ONLY; you can stop right here
    and get your rocks off on something else.

    Women: Have you ever wished you could have-
    The hottest oral and vaginal sex (up to 6 orgasms for me in
    one session!)?
    Simple pure physical satisfaction with no strings
    attached?
    Sex without AIDS or pregnancy fears?
    Private sex that no one will ever find out about?

    If you answered yes to any of these, then you should consider
    having sex with a dog. Wait, don't laugh! I am VERY serious.

    My name is Jamie, and I am not ashamed to say that I enjoy having
    sex with dogs (and I've been doing it since I was 14!), I am
    totally "normal" in almost all respects: I'm 28 and live in Los
    Angeles. I have a boyfriend who is pretty good in bed and I have
    a great job as a graphic artist. But I've found that dogs can
    actually be better and more satisfying lovers than either men or
    women!

    I know that sounds weird, and a lot of you will be shocked by
    this, but thousands of women and girls worldwide agree with me,
    and, by all indications, more women are discovering this secret
    every day. Women have been having sex with animals for centuries,
    and I wholeheartedly recommend it to any woman who wants to
    experience what is possibly the most intense and electrifying
    sexual experience there is.

    If you have a dog, chances are he is practically your best friend
    already. He is more loyal than any man, and loves you completely,
    unlike many men. He doesn't talk back or argue, and he's always
    there for you. Why not take it a step further and let him become
    your sexual lover? Male dogs are naturally horny practically all
    the time, so helping him relieve some sexual frustration can just
    be a demonstration of your love for him, and a lot of fun for
    you! Unlike men, dogs are almost always ready to have sex when
    you want to, they won't tell all their friends about your
    experience together (and who cares if they do?), they can't
    expose you to AIDS or other sexual diseases, and, perhaps best of
    all, they can't get you pregnant!

    Now, I'm not some weirdo who advocates sleeping only with dogs
    and not with men. Far from it: I have a good relationship with my
    boyfriend and we are sexually active. (I've also had one serious
    relationship with a woman.) However, I seem to be hornier than he
    is, particularly at certain times of the month. There are times
    when my guy isn't around, or doesn't feel like it, or I don't
    want the emotional complications involved with human sex. I can
    then turn to my doggie to get off, and its great.

    I'm sure many of you are disgusted by this whole thing, and
    that's okay. Just quit reading now and go on with your boring
    "normal" sex life. But if you want to learn more, keep reading.

    I first had sexual contact with a dog when I was 14, and it
    continued off and on until I went to college. But I always felt
    ashamed or weird or guilty, and that kind of ruined the
    experience. After I graduated and had my own place, I also got a
    dog. One night, I came home drunk and ended up messing around
    with Max again. Afterwards, I thought about it, and I decided
    that I didn't have to feel guilty about pleasing myself and my
    dog. I decided that if God didn't want us to do it, he wouldn't
    have made dogs so interested in sniffing and licking human
    females. It's my body, and my puppy, and I can do what I want as
    long as it doesn't hurt either one of us!

    Okay, enough about me, let's discuss how YOU can enjoy dog sex.
    There are three areas that I will cover in this guide: Oral sex,
    Vaginal sex and Anal sex. My thanks to the original writer of this
    guide (it wasn't me, but I edited it and I agree with almost
    everything she wrote).

    ORAL SEX
    Oral sex is the way many women first get exposed to dog love.
    Dogs are naturally attracted to the scent of a woman's vagina, so
    many of you have already discovered that Rover likes to sniff
    your panties or even your crotch. Allowing him to take it a step
    further is an excellent way to experience some of the greatest
    oral sex you will ever have in your life! One of the nicest
    things about allowing a dog to lick your snatch is that most male
    dogs will spend much more time than a human male providing you
    with the most electrifying oral sex. A dogs tongue is also much
    longer and is able to get to many places that a man can't or
    won't. A dogs tongue is covered with thousands of tiny buds that
    when he licks your clitoris you will feel sensations that you did
    not know existed. And, how many of you have had a man give you
    analingus? Not many i'll bet. Well, I'm hear to tell you that
    having your ass licked is a great thing, and a dog has no problem
    doing it for you!. If you have never experienced a tongue working
    from the very top of your slit all the way around to the end of
    your crack you have truly missed something grand.

    There are several very good positions for you to try if you want
    to try this. If you decide that your preference is
    clitoral/vaginal only I have found one position that works very
    well. I recommend that you sit on the edge of a bed so that the
    back of your calfs are flat against the edge of the bed. You then
    lay straight back picking your feet up and placing the on the
    edge of the bed. This will expose your clitoris, labia and vagina
    to his waiting tongue. For those of you who would like more but
    want to prevent him from trying to mount you then the ideal
    position is reclining on your side, on pillows or cushions, on
    the floor. All you have to do at that point is to raise your leg
    a little and he will have access to all of your pussy and ass.
    For those of you that want that ultimate experience you will have
    to give give him full and total access to you. This can only
    happen when you are down on all fours. Now I know that staying in
    that position for more than a few minutes is not comfortable at
    all but there is one way that I have found that will be both very
    comfortable and very enjoying. You kneel at the edge of your bed
    and then lie the upper part of you body face down onto the bed,
    keeping your knees on the floor. You then spread your knees apart
    as much as you dare giving him full access to you. One very
    important item to remember while you are considering what
    position you would like to use is that if you do not wish to have
    him mount you this is not the position to use.

    Now that we gone over all the wonderful things that a dog can do
    for you with his tongue, lets talk about what you can do with
    yours. According to several doctors and veterinarians I have
    spoken with, a dogs cock is three times cleaner that a mans cock.
    A dog will spend considerable time every day cleaning it, how
    many men do you know that do that? So, why not try it? I find
    that when I am sucking off a dog, I have a tremendous amount of
    mental stimulation that gets me horny as hell! Just knowing that
    I am sucking on an animals dick will get me so horny, that it
    doesn't take much to get me off. I will usually use a free hand
    to masturbate while I am sucking him, and I have some of the
    greatest orgasms this way.

    Most male dogs will gladly allow you to suck them and there are
    many positions to do it in. I find that two positions are very
    good and are easy to accomplish. For those of you that are just
    starting out and are nervous about doing it I recommend that you
    have him lie on his back with you next to him. This will give you
    full access to his cock and be able to control all the action.
    But, another great method I use is to lie on my back with the
    back of my head slightly raised by a pillow and have him stand
    over me with his cock within reach of my mouth. Then he humps me
    and does all the work, leaving my hands free to masturbate myself
    with. One important thing to remember when sucking a dog: While
    most men like to have their balls rubbed or fondled while having
    their cocks sucked, this is not so with all dogs. Before starting
    any sexual activity with him touch and feel his cock and balls to
    insure that he does like it. The next thing that we are going to
    do now that we have gotten into the position that we prefer is
    begin to get him aroused. I find that the best way is to first
    gently stroke his cock through his sheath until it begins to
    enlarge and slip out. Once you have at least an inch of him out
    of his sheath you should gently take him into your mouth. You
    should continue to gently stoke him with your hand while you
    begin to slowly move you mouth back and forth over his cock. As
    you do this his cock will continue to enlarge until he reaches
    full erection.

    While you are moving your mouth over his cock you should try to
    place the tip of you tongue into the indentation on the head of
    his cock as this will cause his to reach his climax. As he gets
    closer to his climax you will notice that at the base of his cock
    there is a very large bulge known as his knot. This knot is used
    to hold his cock inside a female (dog or human) until he has
    finished ejaculating. If you are considering going further then
    you should make a mental note of the size of his cock and knot.
    The average large dog has a cock, when aroused, that is 5 to 7
    inches long and 1 and half to 2 inches wide. The knot for a dog
    whose cock is 6 inches long and 1 and a half wide can be two
    inches long and 4 inches wide. A dog is different than most
    mammals as from the time they begin to become aroused until they
    begin to get soft they will have some form of ejaculate coming
    from their cocks. At first arousal there is a clear thin fluid
    that tastes like iron and has the consistency of water, this is
    his precum that is for lubrication so his knot will slip into the
    females vagina. At full arousal is when he actually will produce
    his sperm and you can tell when this happens as his cum will
    begin to have a slightly salty taste to it. You should be aware
    that his cum will never be as thick as a mans but he will produce
    about twice as much as a man. I personally think that dog cum
    tastes much better than man cum.

    VAGINAL SEX.
    Good old screwing thats what this is all about, well not quite.
    There are a number of things that differ from sex with a man
    other than the dog can't get you pregnant.

    At this point I will assume that you have made the decision that
    you are going to have sexual intercourse with a large dog (75
    pounds) and that you are there by yourself. I will be your
    companion and you may visualize me there. The first discussion is
    how are we going to do it. There are two prime positions to use,
    the old standard doggy style and the safer missionary style. If
    we choose the missionary position you can prevent him from
    getting his knot inside you and we can be in control the whole
    time. Ok you want to try the missionary position, you are siting
    on the edge of a chair, a towel under you to prevent his and your
    cum from staining the chair, your ass at the very edge legs
    spread wide apart. Here comes your lover he sees your warm and
    wet pussy and at once begins to sniff and lick it. You call him
    up to you so that he has his front paws on the chair his body
    between your legs. (I like to put some socks over his front paws
    so that he can't scratch me accidentally.)

    Then you take his sheath in hand and begin to stroke it gently
    and as he begins to swell and extend you guide the end of his
    cock into you. As he feels the wetness and warmth of you he
    begins to hump, slowly at first then faster and faster until you
    feel his knot at the mouth of your vagina. As his cum slowly
    fills you up you too reach climax. If you allow him to put his
    knot inside you YOU WILL be together until he gets soft which
    usually take 15 to 20 minutes but can take up to 45 minutes. The
    major benefit of the missionary position is that if you do not
    want to have his knot inside you you can, in almost all cases,
    prevent it by holding it in your hand. I find that the most
    satisfying and arousing sensations I feel are caused by the knot
    being inside me. I try to have my dog put his knot in every time
    we make love, but whether or not you want to is up to you.

    Doggy style is just that, you are down on all fours with him.
    This position will allow you to fully experience the pleasure of
    having a canine lover. He will at first sniff then lick you and
    after the tastes and smells begin to arouse him he will move to a
    position to mount you. A dog will usually come up directly behind
    you and mount you that way. Once he has mounted you he will begin
    to hump trying to get his cock into you, if this is something new
    to him then you should guide his cock to where it should go, he
    will do the rest. As the two of you continue he will move faster
    and faster with his strokes until you feel his knot begin to
    swell and rub at the lips. At this point we have decision time,
    If you want it inside you you should totally relax and allow him
    to slide it in. If you don't want it in you you should reach back
    with your hand and try to hold the knot with your hand. A simple
    note of warning, if you use this position and then decide that
    you don't want his knot in you you may not be able to prevent it
    from happening. If his knot is in you you WILL have to wait until
    he gets soft. I do not recommend you trying to remove it as
    unless your vagina is very large, it will hurt and may even
    injure you. So if you have any doubt's at all I would stick with
    the missionary position.

    Well we are now mated and as his knot continues to swell inside
    you you begin to feel this warm feeling inside you. I have been
    told that a dogs body temperature is higher than a humans and
    that his cum is even warmer, and as he cum's deep inside you you
    can feel that warmth. His knot is now fully expanded, his cum is
    flowing into you, your juices begin to flow mixing with his and
    at this point you begin to feel his knot begin to throb. I found
    that while doing it doggy style as his knot pushs against the
    inside walls of my vagina it also pushes against the inside of my
    clitoris and that the sensations of that happening drive me wild.
    I have reached orgasm up to seven times in a row while this is
    happening.

    ANAL SEX
    There are some things that you should consider before you attempt
    allowing your lover to mount you for the purpose of anal sex. You
    should be experienced with anal sex, by this I mean you should
    have no difficulty taking your human lovers cock into you. You
    will not always be successful with achieving penetration and if
    you do you may wind up with his knot inside you. If you now still
    want to try it well lets go. In finding a good position for male
    canine/human female anal sex I have tried dozens of positions and
    found many that work and many that didn't.

    I have found that the best position is one called a modified
    doggy position. To get into that position you should first find a
    open space, very private of course, inside your house or wherever
    and place a soft pad on the floor for you to kneel on. You then
    kneel on the pad and get into a normal doggy position. To achieve
    the correct position you now bring your knees forward and tuck
    them up into your stomach. Now that you have done that you rest
    the front of your body on your elbows. Great you have mastered
    getting into the proper position, now there are some other things
    you have to do before you call to your lover. We have this little
    problem with lubrication that has to be solved with something
    otherwise this will really hurt. I have found that natural oils
    such as olive or corn oils work best and will not hurt your
    lover. NEVER NEVER use vaseline or that like as they will make
    the dog sick or even worse.

    Well now we know what lubrication we are going to use we must now
    apply it. It is not enough to just smear a little oil on the
    outside of your anus for this to work, you must lubricate both
    outside as well as inside. The easy part is the outside and I
    leave that until I am in position to do. To lubricate the inside
    I have found that if I lubricate as much of the inside of my anus
    as possible I have no discomfort at all. I use a large
    eyedropper, that will hold about an once or so of oil, to get the
    oil inside and when I have done that insert one finger to spread
    the oil over the muscle.

    Congratulations you are now ready, you have done your inside
    lubrication and are in the proper position and here comes your
    lover. You should now take your oil and rub some on your anus and
    the area around it. After he has mounted you you will probably
    have to guide him into you. Once he is inside he will hump just
    like an vaginal sex. The same precautions concerning his knot
    should be used here as well. I do not recommend those just
    starting out to try having him insert his knot. As there is not
    as much stimulation with anal sex you may want to gently
    masturbate while he is in you. There is one way to increase the
    stimulation and that is place a dildo into your vagina. This will
    transmit his movement inside you to you clitoris and help you
    reach climax.

    Just a few footnotes about the fun of canine human sex. You can
    do all of these things while a human lover, male or female is
    present and in some cases the experience is more enjoyable. I
    would have liked to have had illustrations for this but I have
    not found someone to pose for them and I am more than a little
    nervous about having my picture here. Ladies any volunteers?

    Girls: if you need to reach me and ask questions, feel free to
    email me at yyyy@earthlink.net. Boys: Do NOT email. I will not
    answer you, and I will give you a little test to prove whether
    you are female when you write!

    For that kind of user, I'm not sure that Linux with an install utility like Ximian Red Carpet is any more complicated than Windows. People who don't like dicking around with computer stuff are probably *good* candidates for modern Linux distributions.

    Yes, I think it's crazy too - but she just doesn't like (or trust) computers. She's just as happy with Linux as she was with Windows - which isn't very happy, but the point is that Linux is not necessarily a step down in usability for non-geeks.

    Kind of an opposite case for my mom - she spends all her time on her Windows PC, in various gardening and photograpy forums, playing Freecell for ridiculously long stretches of time, etc.

    But until recently, every time I would visit, I'd end up spending half an hour fixing things, removing virii, and generally un-fucking up her computer. (I say "until recently" because, thankfully, she has a friend nearby to deal with that stuff). And, I discovered the reason I hadn't heard from her for a few weeks was because Outlook Express got so fucked up she could no longer even send or receive mail. There have been so many occasions that she's told me a Windows tale of woe, and I've told her that I'm sympathetic, but that I just don't have those kinds of problems on Linux.

    I'm not sure she's ready for a change yet - she faces the same inertia problem that so many countless others face wrt their Windows use; but someday, I'll introduce her to Linux. I'll have to set it up, spend a day with her showing her how to use stuff, show her how to get more software, and so on. But after that I (and her Windows-helper friend) will probably have drastically less work to do keeping that PC going.
