Another guy I know on the internet showed me this. I thought it was pretty funny.

I'm not sure if it's genuine, or just a joke made by someone.

I'm sure its a joke, but I have heard this arguement before.

Well, you know it is, there are no terrorist that are smart enough to use Linux. :O

Don't be so sure... you don't know me yet (LOL).

it might be true , cause if yours is a "professional" terrorists cell , you won't trust MS stuffs , you won't know if there are really some hiddened "coding" inside MS systems , those hiddened "coding" which serve some tactical functional strategies when your "enemy" just wanted to win faster instead of longer streches of fundings and allocations of new man-power(to die actually) , and things like "non-disclosure agreements" peeping of OS coding might expose yourself to too much possible ways of "personal-ID" tracking ...

some thoughts
after some movie references
and some cheaper pulps reading
so it must be true [/SMALLER JOKES] ...

This is just a joke. I think. This visual doesn't have ground. Just a product of a empty mind. ("As u know empty mind is devils workshop")

So just see - laugh - and - forgot.

Practically thinking - The maker of this slide has surveyed the terrorrists and still alive.

Well, as "clever" as it may seem, it is somewhat foolish.

Why, because if you "throw enough mud, some of it sticks". Given the ignorance level of politicians, they're as likely to read that and vote to ban linux.

The "christian right wing" voted Bush Jr (the missing link??) in as president. Twice. These are the sort of people, who, when they detect even the slightest whiff of tolerance, brand you as a communist!

COMMIE!

Thats was sarcasm if any of you missed that.....

but I agree politicians are ignorant especially when it comes ot technology. Why do lawyers get to decide whats right or wrong when it comes to medical research?

My point exactly, and given the major IT players propensity for visiting their lawyers, who in turn convince them that there may be a large profit margin in it, I fail to see the logic behind even such so called "sarcasm"!

Lets face it, sarcasm is an art (as is irony). Most of the good people of the US aren't very good at it. The Brits and the Aussies are considerably better at both, and of course, it depends on your location as to whether you're a real master (Liverpudlians i.e. Scousers are often vvv good, as are some of the Scots - the Irish are often better at irony etc etc I'm sure you get my drift).

Besides, the whole "advert" took too long to run. If you watch how real MS ads run, the first 3 or 4 screen are only there for 3/4 or 5 seconds, and they then stop on the last frame, cos that's the message that they really want to get across! hence disappointment!

Nah, that's because their video editing software crashes for the umpteenth time and they have a deadline to meet so they just submit what they've got and hope for the best

I wholeheartedly agree with everything else you've posted in this thread though, my US friends just don't get my (hilarious imho) Welsh wit and repartee

Also another funny statement can be found in many hardware boxes (scanners, modems, video cards...):

Minimum requirements:

windows 2000/XP
Mac OS/xyz

Not mention Linux or kernel versions or drivers.

I evaluate this fact as Linux being far more superior than the former "minimum" counterparts

Regarding terrorism: It requires some minimal intelligence to circumvent security measures or policies. Meaning that no ordinary user could rely on MS Windows to lead actions that would require full reliability/control over their tools.

Of course it is a joke, but I take it as a compliment

*lol*

damn funny...
