New York Times Staff Editorial Promoting Linux

Posted by chrisd on from the welcome-to-the-party dept.

cotyledon writes "Today's New York Times editorial (Free Blah-Di-Blah) describes Linux as good for consumers and good for programmers. It recommends "Government units abroad and in the United States and individual computer users should look for ways to support Linux and Linux-based products. The competition it offers helps everyone." This is the paper's opinion, btw, and not a guest columnist."

    While the government does have a high percentage of fags working for it, an Apple solution would be totally unacceptable for all strait workers. I, as a taxpayer, am fed up with gay propaganda saturating the media. I'm sure as hell not going to support the purchase of gay computers on top of it all!!!
