Who the heck is awake enough to read “keywords”? Not me!!!!( I’m a member of the pajama gang, not a morning person! ) LOL

Exactly! The text is so small for the keywords, that I seldom read them. Doesn't change the fact that satire doesn't belong in news, anyway.

They can take my Linux when they pry it from my cold, dead hands!

(Besides... you should never use commercial software before v.2.1 anyways)

Meanwhile, Liberal Jews are clueless again! As a Conservative Republican Jew, I can say that as I listen and watch their stupidity with revulsion.

Totally, good enough to be in Scrappleface or the People’s Cube.
On the other hand, I wouldn’t doubt that Harry and Nancy are working on a press conference to take credit for the idea. The next couple of years will be excellent fun if you aren’t into outcomes.

What the heck is this idiot doing? He’s even named a an operating system after himself. This is sick, sick and sick.

I hope the Supreme Court is paying attention to what’s coming because they won’t have any say in any matter before long.

cleared by hitting “C: ‘enter’” twice.

This is like satire the way mugging is like hugging.

besides being posted in “humor” with a keyword of “satire”, I had to put something in there to give it away..:)

It isn't post in humor. It's posted in news. See the address url?

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2160220/posts

Do you see humor in there anywhere? No. NEWS.

You just called it humor (topic) but posted it in news.

I just realized this was satire.

Today's satire is tomorrow's reality...

How long have we had “one-touch” cameras (”So advanced, it’s simple!”)? Why can’t we have calculators with just an equals button?

Awe man...you almost gave me a heart attack. You need to have some mercy on us old folk. It finally occurred to me to check the source, and fortunately, I happened to know that the source produces satire. Whew....Too close to real.

Geez, the language in the original article is so over-the-top, I have a hard time believing anybody couldn't see it as humor/satire immediately. Maybe I need to screw my tinfoil hat down a little tighter on my head, to see this as real... ;-)

But I'm a techie, and I'm naturally skeptical...
