To me, it's a miracle how every tiny article on OSNews.com, or any other tech-site, ends up in people shouting all sorts of nonsense at each other like "Linux is gonna bring back Elvis", "Windows shot president Kennedy", "Linux kept the cold war cold" or "Bill Gates wants to buy the moon and charge people for looking at it". Do these people really know what they are saying, or are they just going with the Open-Source flow? Update: Rebuttal article here.

Personally I think we should make fun of anyone who can't use Windows and help anyone who wants to learn *nix by pointing them to where the manual is.
So that's the kind of thing you say to your Grandmother? You're too retarded to use Windows? Get a life? I don't really know if you get it or not, but technically savvy people are not the majority. In fact, you owe most of your happiness and well being to people with little to no computer experience that work at places that do not require them to use their computer in a complicated manner. So, the next time you try to get some sort of service rendered, make it clear to those who are helping you that you think that they're retarded and that although they are willing to offer you services, such as making dealing with your car easier, or putting food on the shelf so that you don't have to hunt it, that you feel that they should read the book and screw themselves when it comes to computers.
It's amazing how many people think that we should all be free to see source code and yadda yadda but how few actually think that everyone should be free to enjoy the benefits of that.
