The newest James Bond sequel fits very much into the style of all other movies but there are some minor stylistic changes though. The MI5 sets Bond again on a mission to save our planet from the grasp of an evil genius. This time the big evil is named Jamie McCarty (J. McCarty starring as himself) and wants to get NetBSD installed on any computer of the world. To get this dark mission done he blackmails the US government, the United nations and the World Wildlife Found by threatening that he will moderate the entire world as -1 redundant. If he applys this moderation the world would be deleted after 4 weeks from existence.
Of course even the most powerful world leaders can't get people to install NetBSD everywhere so an alterative solution must be found which basically means a permanent removal of Jamie's moderator rights. However, evil geniuses being not only evil but also pretty clever this won't be an easy task. At this point 007 comes into the game. One may wonder why the US isn't sending any un-evil enforcing heros of their own but it seems that the entire CIA covert operations teams are stuck in Afghanian caves because they can't read the russian maps. So good ole UK has to send one of their best and expendable. As in most movies Bond has a capable supporter on his side basically to save his ass when he has shagged too many hotties. The minor stylistic change is that is supporter this time is the infamous goatse man. I think I don't have to go on with the plot, first it's the classic Bond plot going on from this point now and second I don't want to spoil the fun. Let's just say that again the special effects are superior and Bond has again his full range of trick weapons from R (well, you surely now that the actor for Q was run over by a bus). This includes for example landmines and a flamethrower for the goatse man.
It would strike many people as a little odd that the super evil genius just wants people to install NetBSD, but it's a sponsorship thing. First they wanted to use GNU/Linux with Linux Torvalds and RMS as evil geniuses but Linus is not photogenic enough, RMS is too smelly and as a technican said: "The big, big beard gives too much trouble in action sequences". So Microsoft as a sponsor ruled out by this technical problems.
Lucky they found another sponsor, Theo de Raad, which of course explains NetBSD. It is rumored that he paid 20.000 OpenBSD CDs for this, which is quite a high price remembering that OpenBSDs CDs can be used for very nice mobiles and other exotic art installations.
However, the rumor of Theo de Raad wanting to sponsor "The life of Jesus" and staring himself as the main actor is just an evil lie spread by those insecure NetBSD basdards.

Geek would have confessed to his repressed homosexuality long ago, but his mouth is always full, blowing his priest through the wall of the confessional.
First that WINE/Cygwin story, now this... I think some people have far too much free time on their hands :P.
