Does Clinton do Linux?
Guardian ^ | September 28 2006 | Bobbie Johnson

Posted on 09/29/2006 8:45:47 AM PDT by Halfmanhalfamazing

When Bill Clinton made his speech to the Labour Party conference, he bamboozled a few by finishing with the word "Ubuntu".

You invited me to meet you there. Very creepy.

Now you claim--falsely--that I've brought something up. I think you're a perv.

Because you don't seem to get it. That's why.

I'm not alone in this--the overwhelming vast majority of people generally think this way when they're trying to buy something.

Here on this forum, that's how most all of us ended up choosing to run Linux. We figured out it was the most practical product for our needs, and we didn't let ideology or emotions get in the way.

Now do you understand?

Will you condemn them

They got what they deserved, being their US funding pulled for their anti-US comments. Last I heard they were begging for handouts over e-mail, let's hope they get none.

No, I don't care for them.

Yet you aren't railing against this foreign copy of UNIX -- a BSD. A BSD that proves my point back several posts, where you lost, and continue to distort and dodge in order to avoid facing it.

What about software that shares the license they use?

You're no expert. A babe in the woods.

There's not many regulars on this forum using Linux. Even Petronski here isn't brave enough, not that anyone's surprised by that.

Look this is getting boring. Tuck yourself in.

Nobody chooses Linux, Shadow and I go around planting pods to replace loyal red white and blue windows users with faux conservatives who might be pro 2nd amendment, pro life, pro states rights, against activist unions, legislating from the bench, ..... but *gasp* use Linux where it works for them..

"LOL what Russia connection? The one you fabricated, claiming a Russian wrote the first UNIX, when it looks like he was only a team member, and actually an American? THAT Russian connection LMAO?"

No, as I said in my post, the Russia connection that YOU first brought up here.

Of course, I can understand you trying to forget your own inane babblings. They must be quite embarrassing. Poor creature.

"I'm not replying to the guy on fire..."

Probably because you're tired of me kicking your pathetic butt all over this forum.

As I've told you before, courtesy dictates that you ping a person when you mention them. Of course, I would expect you to know nothing about courtesy...you show us that every day here.

Thanks and play again real soon.

Because BSD is not a foreign copy, it's an American product. You obviously don't even understand these basic differences, and can't even discern the difference between something that originated in America and what didn't.

As for these Canadian jerks that ripped it, and then slammed America later, they should have their rights to it pulled. At least we pulled their funding.

"Don't forget [x]Stallman is a leftist and [x]Red Flag is a free copy of Red Hat."

Amazing. You've actually become a parody of yourself. Congratulations.

Wow. Where to start when someone crams so much ignorance into so few words?

First, the post wasn't directed to you.

Second, you totally missed my message, that being, I'd rather slide down a razor bannister and land in a tub of turpentine than to have you here verbally defecating on a perfectly good Linux thread, and...

Third, I assume that you're thinking "occult" because of this:

That's a Star of David, the same star that appears on the Israeli flag:

Stout got it right off the bat (he replied with "Oy", a comment typically attributed to the Jewish community), and he's a dumb ol' Linux user like me. So where does that leave you, who supposedly knows it all, but fails to recognize the national symbol of Israel?

Here's your homework. Read and learn. And yes, this will be for a grade.

What's the difference between the Star of David and a pentagram?...If you are wearing a six pointed star not enclosed in a circle, you are displaying the typical Jewish symbol called the Star of David and most people would recognize it as a completely Jewish symbol.

But then, no one ever accused you of being "most people".

Please say something else funny. I'm having a ball with this.
