Reference to Blue Screen… check.

Steve Ballmer reference… check.

Lack of originality or any resemblance to actual humor… check.

LinuxIsFunny™.

If only they’d concentrate on the actual code.

First off, why are all FOSS-friendly “humour” sites so desperately unfunny??

XKCD, Bizarre Cathedral, this one, TechRights… ;)

As a serious question, MS could always resurrect the XENIX brand.

“4) Steve Ballmer’s nightmare”

Nope. Every ABMers nightmare.

Winux Weenux PeeWeenux Winsux Bloatux

My god, they’re describing Linux! Do they even realise, or is it their subconscious mind, crying out for help?

Closed open source?

Oh, you mean like Android?

@Ted:

I don’t think TechRights is supposed to be funny. I think it’s a side-effect.

But I could be wrong.

Man walks up to a penguin.

“Excuse me, sir,” says the man, “but could you direct me to the source of the Nile?”

The penguin just blinks.

“I don’t mean to be persistent,” says the man, “but I really need to find the source of the Nile.”

The penguin flaps its vestigial wings.

“What frigging use are you?” says the man. “You can’t even answer a simple question!”

And the penguin says, “Well, first off, I’m a penguin. I live in Antarctica. Every time I need something, I have to ask somebody else for a driver.

“And secondly, the source of the Nile is closed. Don’t blame me, blame Steve Ballmer.

“Have you considered developing your own Nile? Here, have a handful of eyeballs. There are plenty more where those came from.”

Something like that?

As a not-particularly interesting aside, when my group (Bing News, non en-us) moved to the flagship Microsoft building at One Cardinal Place, Victoria, we acquired this interesting mega-pixel huge hanging flat screen TV thingie, and we were asked what feeds we should put on it.

You guessed it.

XKCD won.

Boy, this stuff looks like Adam craped it out, after failing again to compile his 'hello world’ program.

@Gesh:

Ah, well, you did’t read http://fossforce.com/2011/08/top-10-things-linux-users-dont-understand/ #2, did you?

Linux users apparently don’t understand “defragmenting a hard drive.”

It’s quite a simple and universally necessary process (barring the concept of a PetaByte hard drive, and even then we’d be dealing with hardware problems like head movement).

But, y’know? I don’t really care whether Linux users understand it or not. It’s basically an abstraction. I have yet to meet a Windows user who understands it.

The difference is, I have yet to meet a Windows user who whines about it.

(It’s entirely possible to substitute “Mac” or possibly even “BSD” for “Windows up there, btw.)

> The difference is, I have yet to meet a Windows user who whines about it.

As Billy Mays would say, “Set it and forget it!”

Who would have thought you could have the Windows Disk Defragmenter or Defraggler run on a regular interval?

Haha, my bad… That comes from those Ronco Rotisserie commercials. Close enough :P

freetards understanding of humour is equivalent to that of a potato

Freetards don’t worry about defragging because they’re constantly having to reinstall their OS thanks to update breakage and biannualforceddeathmarch. They never actually use their computers long enough for files to get large and fragmented.

This was hilarious!!

“The best thing Microsoft ever came up with.” rofl

That FOSS Force websites reminds me of Dumb Jokes That Are Funny¹. I don’t know if I’m laughing with them or at them.

Actually, I know (Hint: the latter).

“Closed open source? Oh, you mean like Android?“

Android is closed source. It has some open sourced components (like MacOS X has Darwin and Webkit) but its not 100% open source. And “not 100% open source“ equals “not open source“. Wanna have access to the Android market code and the Android trademark? Do as Google says. Things will get even tighter (aka better) with ice cream sandwitch. Google figured out that receiving pats in the back from freetards wasnt enough to offset monstrosities like the crapware-filled Droid X.

I think those people need a rectoscopy performed by Steve Ballmer. Even though he might not have any need for seeing 'the source’, it’s a funny way to give 'em butthurt.
