  1. Linux Trolls Good for Nothing by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Netcraft confirms it, Linux trolls are dieing. Slashdot's clique of giggling/conspiring school girls, Linux trolls harp over minor issues in windows as they ignore huge, gaping holes in Linux. Like a dog in heat humping an uncomfortable human's leg these unfortunate souls believe that if they just push hard enough, they can fuck the whole world before they lick their own groin.

    Sad Trolls

    While pretending to run or in some cases actually even running the now defunct operating system these trolls post hypothetical flaws of windows that they don't even understand. While attempting to convince potential users that the incredible inconvenience of Linux is worth the negligible advantage of Open Source Software they cite 'facts' that make one wonder if these trolls have ever even used a computer, much less Linux.

    One thing is clear:Linux trolls are dieing.

    Asia

    Home to 3 trillion people, Asia was seen as a possible breeding ground for Linux use thanks to its widespread poverty and poor hygiene. This potential coup for Linux was averted, however when Microsoft entered into a rampant piracy agreement with the people of Asia worth an estimated -$34,000,000,000.

    Global Ramifications

    As a result, the proponents of this hard to use and poorly designed operating system have had to resort to sad measures. The most common is the "pretend to know Linux by mocking Windows trolls while really not even knowing either operating system well" troll. While usually guaranteed to garner some mod points, these trolls have been called out of late by a group of Windows trolls who know they are full of shit.

    The fallout over the hivemind mentality of these sad and confused youngsters has led to the collapse of what was once a glowing beacon to trolls everywhere. Once held up as a symbol of individuality and defiance of the rules, Linux trolls have now been associated with the very conformists they purport to despise. These people that say whatever will make them look cool at the time threaten the already iffy credibility of true Linux trolls.

    Fact: Linux trolls are dieing.
