Cool A Free Spirit wants to say hello to all!!


Hi u all!
Maybe some of you saw the movie 'They live!' where an alien power enslaves the whole humankind for their own advantage (and profit). Per accident the main character stumbles over some special treated sun glasses enabling him to realize the truth. He could see all the hidden messages like 'Sleep and obey' or 'Don't question authority'. It seems to me that the same thing is happening with Microso$t in our computer world. Everything is 'windoze' based and 'Designed for windoze xyz'. Linux is popular among students and programers, but the most majority don't even know about its existence. People are forced to buy a licence of Windoze XP when purchasing a new PC. In their current windoze version Microso$t tries even more to control and monitore what you (can) do with your own box! In Europe (EU) there is still no possible legal way to get your win tax back (I asked the consumer protection agency). Manufactures are providing their patched version of windoze to run their machines and they are reluctant to take their patched Windoze Version back. At my last job I heared programmers saying that 'Windoze XP rocks!' because its so easy to attach (example) a second Monitor to a windoze box without doing anything on the software (installation) side. Just throw in a second graphics card, attach the second monitor and restart windoze XP! (I am pretty sure that this can be done with Linux too). When walking in the computer department of any electronics superstore it seems the whole world is into this hypnotic 'Microso$t sleep'! What the world needs is a wakeup call - I am thinking about a Rockband touring the World and promoting Linux!!!
Fight for Freedom for what u can do with your own box!
