    Move on? Move on!? How can we move on when M$ and the rest of Bill Gate'$ cronies are oppressing the Linuxian? Just yesterday, a man using Ubuntu was beaten almost to death by Steve Ballmer. Closed source software is a crime. The people are entitled to have access to all source code. Proprietarists will be gassed.

    That's why they're called Microsoft.

    what does SJW mean?

    Software Justice Warriors. The SJW are people who are mad because they were born too late to fight the actual software injustices of the past, such as the Netscape debacle or the decision to call the unix command "umount" instead of "unmount", so they join digital lynch mobs at the slightest hint of possible software controversy, hoping to fill the void in their existence with strongly worded paragraphs of significantly misinformed opinions about problems that either don't exist or that are blown out of proportions.

    You should add a net on top of your head so you can catch all the things soaring over it.
