New Contest Will Seek the Best "I'm Linux" Video
LinuxScribe writes "From Apple's ubiquitous 'I'm a Mac,' to Jerry Seinfeld, to Microsoft's 'I'm a PC' retort, operating system commercials have been flooding the airways. Except that Linux is the one OS that has been notably absent. Now the Linux Foundation is launching a video contest on their new video site to fill this void. The winner gets a trip to Tokyo next year to participate in the Linux Foundation Japan Linux Symposium, and some serious geek cred."
The contest doesn't officially open until late January; the blog post has an email address to contact if you want to get a head start.
Frosty piss motherfucker!
Big dumb nigger: "Wussup, i'm Windows."
scrwany Asian geek: "And I'm Linux!"
Big dumb nigger: "Don't be fooled by my size, I be really slow and stupid."
scrwany Asian geek: "I'm boring but I can do math very well."
Big dumb nigger: "I don't say much because more people, especially women, use me because I got a real big dick."
scrwany Asian geek: "I make more efficient use of my time because I drink tea and eat rice instead of fried chicken and chitterlings.
Big dumb nigger: "But bitches also like me better cuz I brightly-colored like a wata'melon. Mmmm, wata'melon.
scrwany Asian geek: "yeah, but Blacks and the people who use them have a higher incidence of viruses and other STD's. If I touched a black, my disk would fall off!"
Big dumb nigger: "Yeah, check dis out, this is O.G.L.B.

Stink Different.
Linux is finally beginning to implement things that Microsoft and Apple have been doing for years?
Wow! Who would have guessed?
Uh oh, I badmouthed Linux and probably pissed off Richard M. "Jesus Christ Reborn" Stallman. I know I'm going to be modded a troll just for that. But before you hit "Flamebait" and censor me into oblivion, LISTEN. Seriously. This is why 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 are NOT going to be the "Year Of The Linux Desktop"... because all the freetards (to quote Fake Steve) can do is just copy the two big names in the industry. Let's see something original... put that community-minded, many-eyes-on-one-problem mentality to use on advertising and maybe Linux would become a household name to the point where people will actually ASK you about it!
Moderator, do you really think the parent is a troll?
Server share for Windows really is low, and dropping off. Netcraft confirms it.
Help stamp out iliturcy.
An ingenouusuouts story!
Dont let them eat your balls!
They brainwashed this kid into giving them his Balls!
How did they brainwash him?...simple!
Had him watch Too Much MTV!
"Ok now its time for 'Give your balls to MTV!'"
This is MTV's Jenny McCarthy licking her lips after eating some Balls!
They eat the balls and throw the rest down the drain!
These 2 host M2...the slogan for M2 is!
"24 more hours ball eating excitement"
"24 more hours classical ball eating"
"24 more hours of eating balls!"

Flash.
Until Linux can run Flash as quickly as Windows, it's dead. The End.
Yeah, yeah. It's adobe's fault. Just like it's ATI's fault, or IEEE's fault, or some other vendor or spec body. It's never Linux's fault, is it?
As the saying goes, the only constant in all your failed relationships is you.
This computer is running Ubuntu on a 1.8GHz 512Mb machine. It would barely run until 8.08; Radeon support was shit.

ECHELON is a government program to find words like bomb, jihad, plutonium, assassinate, and anarchy.
We've had some shithead mods in the past couple of months. Don't appreciate any good commentary at all, and if you ever get mod points, make sure you appreciate /. and its memes or else just go mod idle all day.
That said, FUCK THE MODS, DUMB MOTHER FUCKERS CAN'T MOD FOR SHIT
it will Just Work on just about any computer from the past few years.
Doesn't work on mine, and its 2 years old, and it wasn't exactly cutting edge then (closer to 3-5 years old).
Alright, I'll admit it does work after some fiddling and tweaking to get things to work (like speakers), if you don't mind your internet being 5x slower then on XP.
Have a black man enter a town full of rednecks. None of his relationships work with anyone. Must be his fault, right?
I'm glad you posted this because I'm outta toilet paper and needed something to wipe with.
Natalie Portman's grown mildly obese. Try a different actress.
FOX NEWS.com should be BANNED from television and internet. Have the Congress take it over and give us Truespeak.
Shut the fuck up.
If a user can be happy with just a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation program, email program, web browser (with Flash support), instant messenger, photo viewer, photo editor, music player, and a few light games such as a minesweeper game, then that user can be happy with Ubuntu, nearly out of the box. (For the music player, you will probably want to install the extra codecs such as MP3 that are not installed by default.)
A personal computer is used for four things.
1: "Personal Computing" (word processing, budgeting, banking, etc.)
2: Communications (e-mail, chat, web browser)
3: Media (DVD, MP3, iTunes, CD Rips)
4: Games
Ubuntu can do 1 if you don't care about having to convert files., 2 unless you have something really bizzare, and 3 if you're lucky. Not bad at all for any platform, especially a free one.
But you can't do #3 out of the box. In fact, you can't do 3 without paying money or breaking the law.
Sorry, Linux isn't ready for the 2008 desktop. If it were still 1998 (or 1988) you'd have it all locked up.
Linux is reserved
Linux is reserved foe people who don't confuse .exe C drive etc, with conceptual knowledge and know that those are just Microsoft syntax Nouns and not concepts.
Linux is reserved for those who can use any spreadsheet or word processor and know better than to apply Microsoft syntax to them and expect them to work
Linux is reserved for those who think. Not thoae who think in any other way, Just
those who can think Period!
will only go to show how weak and pathetic linux is on the desktop.
Just like its users.
i think he more meant 'not skinny as a rake like the ice addicts i like to watch in my porn'
for fuck's sake. to say natalie portman is in *any* way overweight is fucking ridiculous. concerned about our own body image and projecting our insecurities on others are we??
porl
it's much more likely that a fag would approach the man and offer to suck his dick because linsux users are a bunch of fags.
More accurate would be the scene cuts to a hippie commune. Dirty unwashed hippies stumble around muttering some gutteral incantation sounding something like "gnu gnu gnu gnu" and discussing their open sores. Bearded hippie who appears to be the leader waits until midnight and in a loud voice announces "THIS IS THE YEAR OF LEENUX ON THE DESKTOP!!!1!".
Just like everything else Leenux does, this will end up as a poor copy of what Apple or MS did years before on the desktop.
