Linux For Supervillains

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the nothing-else-happening-today dept.

computernut writes "Supervillains seem to like Linux. Take a peek at a cool Shockwave Animation on why they use it." Cute little animation. I think we might have shown it here before, but hey it's Sunday, and August which means this is the closest thing to news we might have all day.

      Yeah, there's this Flash movie of an old video game animation, which is really badly translated from Japanese, and the evil guy says "All your base are belong to us", and then there are lots of photoshopped photos with that text photoshopped into them photographically, and it's all like OMFGPWNZOR ALL YOUR BASE IRLBBQ!!!11one

      It probably appeared on Slashdot before, I'd guess...
