Today, when browsing the web I accidently bumped into a website containing an serious interview with a mother whos child is suspected to be a hacker.
What really made me laugh is the question on linux :
Quote:
8. Is your son obsessed with "Lunix"?
- BSD, Lunix, Debian and Mandrake are all versions of an illegal hacker operation system, invented by a Soviet computer hacker named Linyos Torovoltos, before the Russians lost the Cold War. It is based on a program called "xenix", which was written by Microsoft for the US government. These programs are used by hackers to break into other people's computer systems to steal credit card numbers. They may also be used to break into people's stereos to steal their music, using the "mp3" program. Torovoltos is a notorious hacker, responsible for writing many hacker programs, such as "telnet", which is used by hackers to connect to machines on the internet without using a telephone.
Your son may try to install "lunix" on your hard drive. If he is careful, you may not notice its presence, however, lunix is a capricious beast, and if handled incorrectly, your son may damage your computer, and even break it completely by deleting Windows, at which point you will have to have your computer repaired by a professional.
If you see the word "LILO" during your windows startup (just after you turn the machine on), your son has installed lunix. In order to get rid of it, you will have to send your computer back to the manufacturer, and have them fit a new hard drive. Lunix is extremely dangerous software, and cannot be removed without destroying part of your hard disk surface.

Agreed. Anyone how has been a member of the Linux community for any extended period of time has probably read this... but the OP is right, it's still amusing enough to reread once in a while
btw, Riga is nice city and i have some friends there. maybe you know Virsaitis, a Latvian folk musician?
Hehe. No that is not a Latvian humour If u r interested in Latvian humour you can click here
The name 'virsaitis' (meaning chief (usually one of the Indian tribe) in English) is a very popular nick among some hard-rock, folk-metall etc. musicians in Latvia.
I only know the folk-metal band SkyForger !!! Yeahh

Well there is gonna be a 'Judas priest' (Huraahh ) concert in Riga this weekend and the public will be warmed with Latvian hhhh-metall band - Sanctimony.
Where is the mockery? Hmmmm... I dont see any around. All my friends that are fond of compurters and *NIX stuff, like to listen to heavy music besides other genres as well. I like heavy music also - it depends on the mood mainly.
Great one - you found a site where Latvian u-boat 'Virsaitis' has been listed, there was also one more u-boat named 'Spidola' that was in Latvian army at that time.
