GNU is not the god, RMS is. And Linus is only the kernel god. So it must read: one OS, indivisible, under RMS -- which is the same as the absolute value of the OS (SQRT(OS*OS) = |OS|)
Put a person at the entrance who will ask people entering the room to take out their cell phone and make sure that it is switched off, or at least the bell is off, and remind them to leave the room if they want to use the phone (or warn them that they might not be able to use it in the future if they don't).
You should have read the installation instructions. I'm not sure about Redhat but my Debian asks if it may overwrite the MBR while Windos does it unconditionally.

I don't buy that. If you weren't biased towards Windos in the first place you wouldn't have given up on the first minor problem and blame Linux for something which is your own fault.
If I had given up on installing Windos because of commensurable issues (I actually did this several times, though I never seriously used it) I would never have gotten any Windos to run -- except on my laptop, where it came preinstalled (I'd rather have it without, but they don't sell it, and you know why).
Interesting thought indeed, Mr. Ballmer. The local industry I'm working for depends on Free Software, so Free Software is good for Micro$oft and you should start supporting it.

As we all know Troy was taken with the help of a trojan horse. So we must assume that M$'s Palladium won't help against trojan horses either.
Emacs keybindings aren't that obscure, you just need to know the systematics. Eg prefixes the Ctrl, Meta and Ctrl-x in that order simply affect smaller to larger entities, when appropriate.
And C-s for search isn't hard to remember as well as C-r for reverse search, C-t for transpose characters, M-t for transpose words and C-x C-t for transpose lines.
And once you know that file commands start with C-x it isn't hard to imagine that C-x C-s saves your buffer (under it's current name) while C-x C-w writes the buffer to a file (with a new name).
One more advantage is that emacs bindings are default in the readlin lib so that you can use them for command line editing in bash or use C-r to search backwards in the history buffer.

Well, the GNU Project is not "any random Open Source project" either. Though the FSF might prefer the current situation, without PZ involved in GnuPG.
But I doubt that PZ would be interested in working on GnuPG anyway. Seems he's more interested in his project surviving.
The first post in this thread says it. He won't bother us anymore with his failed attempts.
Guess it was Bill Gates or Steve Ballmer trying to get stupid Linux freaks to buy M$ hardware.
$50 will buy you a first class ethernet card working perfectly with Linux.
Ouch! That's so stupid, it hurts!
> a sales call came in handy.
This is a good pun in germany because a cell phone usually is called "handy" over here. (Stupid name invented by some sales persons)
It was left out because M$ don't bother if there was another OS on your harddisk. Because they don't want you to have any other OS on your computer.
It's annoyingly stupid from the users point of view.

Of course not. I won't give M$NBC a page hit, especially not for an article with such a stupid headline.
... their OS is outperformed even by a DEAD Linux ;)
