I don't know about Linux going nowhwere, it seems to be going
everywhere and steamrolling everything in its path... But...
I would LIKE to remind everyone here that the last two jokers to
pull this kind of stunt were Linus (the Linus hires on with Microsoft
joke) and Linus (The Linux-95 License joke). I don't recall EITHER of them
having any kind of disclaimer for the humor impaired. So lighten up. This
guy's major sin in my book was the fact that it hit the list on April 2
(unless his clock is way off). Linus hit us with his "I've accepted a
position at Microsoft" joke at something like 00:10 on April 1 (the boy must
SLEEP at that console). Other than that, this wasn't too bad!
