Linux Used To Make "Star Trek, Nemesis"

Posted by timothy on from the don't-you-mean-dilithium-kernel dept.

    ...and I'll say it again. THIS ISN'T FUCKING NEWS! What's next, "Linux used to wipe fat man's ass" gracing the headlines? We all understand that "Linux used in X" or "X company/organization chooses Linux" stories are just filler, so please cut the bullshit and post real news stories.

    I'd be willing to bet that Linux had something to do with wiping this ass.
