Did you know they are removing the word 'gullible' from the english dictionary... ? Really they are, they feel its no longer a valid word to be used.

Directly under the title on that page: "Summary
Try reading this delicious spoof, just posted on Slashdot."

And in the future, threads like this belong in General where its being moved to.

I am not going to comment on the question that started this post, but the article was quite funny. I love a little sarcasism to stupid *hit, like the crap SCO is trying to do.

What about people that don't know anything about linux: they could fall for it!
They should mention somewhere that it's a joke...

Edit: 'OOOPS: didn't realise spoof meant joke'(I'm french)
