2.6 Ton Pinball Machine
nmoog writes "Heres something you don't see everyday - The Southtyrol-game is an 11 metre, 2.6 tonne pinball "style" machine. Its intention? 'Provide an ironic and entertaining demonstration of how the advent of tourism shaped the landscape and economic habits in the small Italian province of Southtyrol.' And powered by Linux to boot. Um, as well."
Bruce states that an operating system is considered dying when it's marketshare has decreased rapidly, like *BSD, another OS that shares the same pattern is BeOS. Following the course that BeOS took well I think it's fair to say Nothing short of a miracle can save *BSD.
*BSD probably won't have much longer to live. When news broke out, all hell broke loose. Jimmy an avid *BSD user had this to say:
When I heard this news I was utterly devastated, so I went to my friend Darl, who is also a *BSD user. He didn't yet know of the unfortunate, and he didn't take it well. He broke down in tears, this is the second blow to him in a week, he found out that he contracted AIDS from a black prostitute on the street one lonely night. I said to Darl, well you know something *BSD is dying well I'm going with it, I pulled down my pants and bent over, Darl took care of the rest. I don't know if I have yet to get AIDS, but we have gay anal sex everyday, without and lubricant for maximum ripage. The *BSD mailing list I joined reports the same thing happening among the other *BSD users. We are all planning on having one massive gay orgy on Saturday, so if you want to go out and be with *BSD up in heaven, come join us.
Similar events such as Jimmy's have been seen popping up all over the U.S. and the rest of the world. It should also be noted that when this news had been release, Catholic Priests such as Father Randy Pudge O'Day have installed *BSD on his Mac. He told our reporters this:
I knew Apple Computers has a reputation for being the Gay Computer, but I had no idea that Apple went to such great lengths to make sure OS X itself was totally queer, I'm glad they chose a *BSD core for OS X.
Well there you have it, *BSD because of its impending demise has turned it's users into homosexuals. On a related note, Apple computer sales are up 500%.
FACT: *BSD users are FAGGOTS!

ok
honestly I really did when I read this story
The Touriseum, eh? A museum dedicated to tourism.
That's kind of like a book about people who read, or a movie portraying people watching movies.
Who would go to a tourist attraction, which is dedicated to proving how tourist attractions ruined the way of life for that place? Someone in search of the elusive "one hand clapping" sound, maybe.
...
Ehmm, shouldn't that be powered by Windows to boot?
Linux is normally able to avoid reboots.
