This trademark describes one of the many defensive techniques used by Freetards once they face reality.
Their claim will be that Desktop Linux really started taking off 18 months ago.
That’s strange, I still have a Redhat box gathering dust somewhere, purchased circa 1997… Maybe one freetarded month is worth a year in the real world? That would explain a lot.

Well, that’s Internet Time for you. Sorry, I don’t have a link. Seems the concept disappeared round about 2001, for some reason.
Whilst scrabbling around for it, I did find this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_web.
Looking forward to much Freetarded hilarity.
Its ok, the Unix Epoch had to be reset since it ran out of milliseconds. 18 months is the time since kernels included a patch for correct time keeping.
If only that were actually the case. Alas, I can’t remember wen the unix epoch runs out but I think it is a few more years.
I’m so sad, I’m not even going to bother looking this up. It’s 2037.
I believe UTC fixes this. Obviously, you’d have to use UTC in the first place.
I can see my sad future now. I’ll be past pensionable age, waving a placard that says “Will fix epochal problems for food!”
it was only 18 months ago, even though 10 years ago Mandrake, Red Hat, Suse, and who knows how many others were being sold in stores as a replacement for Windows 3.xx/9x at close to $100 a box, then $50, then $35, then $5-$10, then were shoved out the door and buried in a landfill in the dead of night.
I remember seeing SuSe and RedHat on the shelves at Wal-Mart. That was WAY back, though, back when they had a two isle electronics section. Now it’s the size of a house.
Now it’s the size of a house, and yet SUSE and RedHat are mysteriously missing…
