1. weird nt

[Joebert]

2. Now, be nice.

If it weren't for Microsoft, millions and millions of people around the world would be unemployed.

Just think of all the tech support jobs created thanks to Windows.

:-)

3. I remember when it was just Atari and Amiga that caused this

*sigh*

--p!

4. Actually Bill Gates got the idea for the logo from blotter acid

but you didn't hear that from me.

15. Blotter Acid....

Uhhhhh the colors are flowing to my fingertips....

[jpgray]

24. Far out trails, man

The windows of perception, and shit.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

5. Nah. He looks more like a Linux guy.

:popcorn:

[merwin]

6. Hitler wanted one flavor of human. Linux comes in many flavors.

Hitler seems to follow the pattern of Microsoft much better.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

7. None of the Linux distros work though.

:popcorn:

[Joebert]

8. Keep casting...

somebody will bite.

:-)

Me? I teach Linux, so I have heard them all.

[merwin]

9. Linux is more than an operating system. It's a lifestyle.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

10. Is that sarcasm? LOL.

[merwin]

12. Actually, I'm serious. Have you met any hardcore Linux people?

There's a serious difference in all aspects of life between a Linux enthusiast and a Windows/Mac enthusiast.

[dhinojosa]

11. Ugh, now we are going to start persecuting Penguinistas.

Very fascist I must say.

[merwin]

14. You say fascist, I say patriotic.

[salvorhardin]

23. Which is why you're obviously not posting on DU right now

Because none of the Linux distros work. Right? :-)

13. Nah. Adolf would've been a Mac user.

I mean, come on. The Nazis were all about design and style (check those uniforms and the architecture and propaganda), and kickass technology (jet fighters and assault rifles in 1944? Long-range ballistic missiles? The first really modern submarines?).

iMac? Hitler would've loved it. Modern design, etc etc, and lower-priced...how could the guy who dreamed up the Volkswagen NOT love that?

[Robeson]

16. Nice points. One thing Hitler would never have allowed in Germany...

...and that's the internet. He would have never let any outside entity control information. The internet is really our last stop-gap from keeping the takeover here, from coming complete.

[billyskank]

17. LOL!

:rofl:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

18. Thank you!!

[billyskank]

21. I enjoy a good piece of flamebait

(and I'm a Linux user). :)

[Crazy Guggenheim]

22. I'm working on a Linux server.

[no name no slogan]

25. "Linux is only free if your time is worthless"

Truer words have not been spoken-- and these by a diehard *nix head, no less.

(BTW, I use Linux. And Windows. And MacOS. And FreeBSD. And even Solaris on occassion. When you work in IT, you appreciate all OSs, and can't afford to discriminate-- that is, if you like to be employed.)

[billyskank]

26. I certainly spend a lot of time f!cking about with my machine

Way more than my brother ever spends tinkering with his Microsoft box. But as some great philosopher said, freedom is untidy. ;)

[AntiCoup2K4]

31. Hitler would have loved LinSpire (formerly Lindows)

Advertise your OS as being Windows compatible, which it isn't, and then charge people to download all the same software packages that users of any other Debian based distro can get for free.

Their excuse? "We provide a valuable service". Isn't that what the Waffen SS said too?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

19. "One world, One web, One program"

Microsoft ran an ad campaign for Internet Explorer with the slogan "One world, One web, One program". It was quickly withdrawn when it was pointed out that it was rather like another propaganda campaign:

"Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Führer" (One People, One Kingdom, One Leader) -- Adolph Hitler

So people made this image around that time:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

20. LOL.

[merwin]

27. haha

[Jamastiene]

28. I don't see the direct connection, but I bet there is one. n/t

[catbert836]

29. hee hee

It's so true!

[AntiCoup2K4]

30. The latest server product from M$

[TankLV]

32. Maybe he got bored and was trying to "connect the dots"

before the pic was taken!

I doodle all the time!
