No, I haven't been harmed by some Linux user in the past, but the fact remains that all of you like to bash Microsoft just because it is Microsoft.
You claim that Windows always crashes? Mine never crashes. If you spent half the time learning Windows that you did learning Linux you'd not only be a hell of a lot more popular with the chicks (when their computers break), but you'd also be able to keep your system running stable.
You claim that hax0rz steal your porn? Learn how to protect your system. Disable scripting. Get a virus scanner. Sheesh.
You claim that Gates is spying on you? That's about as stupid as the grannies afraid Bin Laden is going to mail them Anthrax. What are you doing that you shouldn't be???
You claim that Windows costs too much? Well, ok.
Even so, I'd rather pay 99 bucks for an OS that I don't need to recompile every time somebody farts in the room. Also, I'm able to use the same programs at home that I do at the comp labs all over campus.
I've been a Slashdot reader since it was first made public. Back then the focus wasn't on how much Microsoft sucked, but how good an OS Linux was. The readers posted topical, sensible critiques of various platforms, and did so without using such mindless tactics as "yo! M$ sux0rs, 1'm 1337. Linix is k-rad!"
When the Slashdot community reverts to its original, intellectual, self, maybe then I'll spend less time playing Devil's Advocate, and more time discussing what is relevant.
And now, some left-wing zealot is going to moderate this post down to flamebait so none of the remaining few intelligent readers will see it and agree with me. Such is life when dealing with fanatics.

Yes, but you are failing to mention that the cavity resonator that was installed had never been seen before, and was based on a principle of wave theory that basically turned a metal tube with a stick into an incredible transmitter. How were we supposed to know that a stupid tube with a stick could broadcast radio waves? I think they deserved that particular victory.
Make way for the new and improved Government, powered by AOL. Now you can get all your news straight from the source, with no chance of contrary ideas clouding your judgement! Be the first to experience China style censorship at the hands of American style corporations with the new AOL Government version 2.0
Those Chinese people speak some crazy language that Americans can't understand anyways. Now all we have is a bunch of surveillance equipment that records people going 'ching bong ding pow wok doy poon tang' all day.
I mean, that shit's even better than the Navajo code-talkers, man!
The fact that it is a black hole doesn't automagically make it a super-dense singularity. I, too, have a black hole, however mine expels matter instead of sucking it up.
Quite a sight, I might add. If there is enough interest I might even post a video.
What do you say?

And now every single Linux user on the planet will chime in with their own expert opinion on this topic. This opinion will most likely be based on a quick glance through of the article, because a deeper reading would require knowledge which is not fathomable to the vast majority of the Slashdot community.
That's right everyone, jump in with your own little additions to the story. Try to make everyone think you are smart. Make valiant efforts to convince others that you are learned and already aware of what this new science holds for the future. Pretend that when people read your nonsense that you are placed in higher esteem.
Don't forget to moderate me into oblivion, you fools who refuse to hear any speech that does not praise the wonder of Linux.

Amazing! A well thought out and equally well delivered rebuttal to my outburst.
You are the cream of the Slashdot crop, worthy of respect, unlike the other freaks who suck bug nuts.
Go compile your Gnutella, Slashdot users other than Michael.
