    Linux is dead to me. Long live FreeBSD. (But seriously ... I don't like desktop Linux. It rocks for servers, though. It just doesn't float my boat ... I mean ... why would I use Linux/X11/KDE|GNome as my desktop, when I can just use Windows XP?)

      Get this through your head..

      NOONE Gives a RAT'S ASS about FreeBSD except a few fickled elitists who want nothing better than FreeBSD to surpass Linux in every way, yet would resent it even more than Linux if this were to happen.

      Oh, and have a nice day.

    Your implication is that homosexuals are not sexual deviants. You must believe that homosexuals are normal. Ergo, you, yourself must be a homosexual. QED.

    Who cares? This is just reporters and editors conjuring phony contests and trumped up stories. Car magazines have been doing it for years. Ditto the computer press. (I'd include Slashdot, too, but that would demean the other members of the media.)

    And don't be fooled by Linux' harmless-looking penguin mascot, Tux: This stuff is shaking up the balance of power in the computer industry. It poses the biggest threat to Microsoft's hegemony since the Netscape browser in 1995.


    You'd figure they'd heard of MOSAIC... being Businessweek... and doing their research and all...

    Besides Tux is cute.

    And if you say , "Oh its just some geeky thing used by hackers ." Chances are they might ask, "Oh yeah then how come IBM and HP and so many other big guns are supporting it ?"

    Then I'll say, "Because they are trying to gain marketshare against MS by glomming on to a (somewhat) popular product. It has nothing to do with technical merit as both IBM and HP have their own *nix operating systems which have long been superior to Linux."

    By now you have heard of the raging fire in the Rhode Island nightclub which killed almost 100 people. These people died a horrible death -- burned alive.. Yet as hot as that fire was, the victims are in for an even ruder surprise. Now they are in the fires of hell, 10 thousand times hotter than the fire that killed them!

    These shiftless drunkards and drug addicts got what was coming to them. Oh how they snickered and hooted at those "unenlightened" folks who preferred to stay at home reading the Bible. Oh how they snickered while we stayed sober, enjoying our refreshing lemonade. Oh what they would give for a glass of cool lemonade now, as the fires of hell torment them for all eternity! They made their choice, and they chose death -- eternal death!

    Do you want to perish in pile of ashes heaped in a charred mound with other drunks and drug addicts? Is that how YOU want to exit this earthly plane? Now is the time to make an important decision. Give your life to Jesus or face damnation. It's your choice. Why not choose life, eternal life? Please call the CBN Prayer Line 1-800-759-0700 . Give your life over to Jesus. Do it today.
