wow–
My first impression in the first paragraph of your blog was, “Holy shit, this person is EXTREMELY biased.”

first of all, children is third world countries aren’t looking to play “good Christian games”– this project isn’t meant to shove religion down anyones throat; it’s meant to allow children in developing countries to be able to become more knowledgeable. This project isn’t meant to allow these children to play games 24/7, they don’t want that. Not every child plays video games. Not every person wants a bible program on their computer- I certainly don’t.

Dear my loyal believer, Tristan,

What you say is completely wrong, Linux is not made by only Chinese or European people, it’s made by people around the whole world. So you can stop claiming that Al Querida and terrorists are the people who support Linux, Linux means freedom so any one can use it for free. And you are completely wrong in saying that Linux is less secure than windows because more than 60% of the servers around the globe are using Linux as there operating system. If you are unsure in this matter please see badvista.org, then you will understand about this matter.

Both Pentagon and NSA is relying on Linux to protect their servers, maybe you can go and warn them :P

“Most computer experts know that Linux is not yet ready for the desktop,”

Er… correction: most computer EXPERTS have Linux, or some other *nix variant, on their desktop. It’s the armchair hobbyists and marketers who “know” that Linux is not ready for [their] desktop.

Holy crap this is the funniest thing I’ve ever read. This is better satire than Colbert. LOL. Made in America computer?!?! HAHAHA.

Oh wait. Are you really serious? Wow. (Don’t have time to see if this is satire or not. Either way, brilliant.) Still funny what Red Staters will believe (love the comments) and sad at the same time. BTW, Microsoft recently took a stand in favor of gays and some of Bill’s charity work helps non-Christians. You’d better find a new OS and office suite for tracking suspicious neighbors STAT!

Buaaahahaha….
Hilarious, really… especially showing those ancient computers on the front page, considering them actual…

You’re missing AGES of computer technology, “sir”…

As for your pro-Microsoft propaganda, you can the same things with openoffice, and it doesn’t cost you anything!
Your money would be used where it’s supposed to be used: charity, and doing good to people who are in need…

But wait, since you’re making lists of terrorists, you’d probably think that homeless people are “bums”… so you’re actually not doing anything to help anyone.

As for bible study, you’ll find there are open source (free, in your language) programs that do exactly this.
At least try them before you judge:

So please, don’t treat humans as ignorants. The internet is a free place, and as such people are intelligent enough to tell right from wrong.

Obviosly linux IS ready for the desktop because thats what im using right now. I’m only 15, and the only reson people think linux is hard to use is because of the misconceptions about it.
Here’s my (not finished) article about linux.
http://boxxertrumps.bo.funpic.org/?linux
As for gaming, cegega/wine/crossover takes care of that, aswell as the ports that alot of companies put out.
as for linux being a “hacker’s” OS, you mean a cracker. This is not true, most linux users think windows users suffer enough. it is a general trend that people write viruses for the OS they are using, to test its limits and because they are most familiar with it. Also, have fun with vista, I hope it isn’;t as bad for you as it is for everything else.
(PS: A hacker is someone who uses a tone generator to get free calls from payphones. a cracker is someone who attempts to break through firewalls and junk…)

This blog is the best joke of this week! Or is it… =)

Dear Tristan J. Shuddery, your are most welcome to visit us in Sweden, it might be beneficial for your mental health. We could certainly learn you lots off stuff… but of course, I presume you are a close friend of mr Phelps who hates us, http://www.godhatessweden.com... or? You seem to have a lot in common baby =) And by the way, there are very few swedes wearing the kind of underwear you suggest, maybe about a few tenths of a percent of the population, at least bother to check the facts first, idiot!

I love Linux, I love democracy,
A christian guy in Sweden!

Obviously, I do believe you are confused. You believe that Microsoft is the only good company out there because they charge people out their asses for the use of their products. $200 for Windows Vista? And this is morally just how (since you people always seek moral justice)?

Linux was made for the good of the people without charging them money. I also believe Jesus healed the blind and helped the crippled walk without money.

Are you saying it would be morally just for Jesus to charge the crippled man he healed for his services? According to your fascist beliefs, you do.

Geez.. Where do I start.. I read your dribble and laughed.. I wondered if it was serious.. Unfortunately I think you were serious.. How sad.. How totally misinformed. I started using Microsoft Xenix Version 7 back around 1988 (guessing now.. long time ago..) Xenix was Microsofts answer to the commercial use of Unix. Unix was originally owned by AT&T Bell Labs. But due to licencing Unix was only supplied to Universities etc. Xenix was the answer to that. Microsoft also had ’supplied’ business software that was able to be purchased to operate under Xenix. Microsoft Multiplan, Multimate (Early MS Word) etc. Parts of the code (if you looked) were proprietry code from SCO even back then. So MicroSoft and SCO were in bed together that far back. Then Microsoft decided that they would ‘back out’ of business solutions based on Xenix. Prefering to push their ‘Windows’. SCO took over the product. (Tho one could be excused for thinking that SCO and Microsoft are really one in the same and always have been.)How much was it? Well Xenix wasn’t cheap. I can remember prices like $1000 for the Base Operating system. Another $1000 for the developement system. Each ‘business’ package was $300 or more.. (Excuse my bad memory on these prices.. It was a long time ago.) The hardware that we used at that time was a Tandy (Radio Shack) Model 16a/16b/6000 (Motorolla 68000 CPU with up to 1MB of memory) This (tiny by todays standards) hardware would support up to 6 users on terminals all working at the same time. Linux is/was an attempt at breaking down the cost factor so that people around the world could access the extreme power of a fully multitasking multiuser environment. (Long before Windows ever multitasked..) Each program in Linux (which are all clones of the original programs using in Unix) was reprogrammed to emulate the original Unix code. So.. You poor deluded person.. As you can see Unix/Xenix/Linux whatever you want to call it provides a much better basis for people to actally learn and understand computers and programming.
You really want to know where it started?

Um.. Learn from the many people who have corrected you bias view on Unix/Xenix/Linux..
