  1. So do we have to start calling them GNU/Taliban? by mikeophile · · Score: 0, Troll
    I will take eleven of your hackers and train them in the ways of Linux. This eleven will train the thousands that remain. When the oil flow stops, all eyes will turn to Afghanistan. The Secretary of State and the President himself will be forced to deal with us. Afghanistan will become the center of the Universe.
