Back in 1985 in the UK, there were three songs that hit the top ten with exactly the same title: “The Power of Love.” These were, if I remember correctly, by Huey Lewis and The News, Jennifer Rush, and Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Must have been quite confusing for consumers.
Apparently, the Linux equivalent in 2010 is The Power of Fork.
Don’t like where your icons are positioned? Fork it! Don’t like the fact that (G|K)BonzerApp uses a 20K closed-source library? Fork it!
Don’t like where Emacs is going? Fork it as XEmacs! (Actually, that one worked, but it was long-term messy.)
Don’t like X.Org? Fork it! Don’t like the result? Fork, fork, and fork again!
Or perhaps you’re Monty Widenius, and object to being paid a billion dollars by a pony-tailed nincompoop who traduces the very spirit of your project. Fork it! FORK IT! And then whine a lot and insist that you should be given total control of the original code.
Freetard ignorance at its most pure and sublime.
Fork! Fork! Fork Fork Fork! Fork With Added Spam!
Do I get a knife and spoon with that?

Oh, and I’ve posted an apology to TheWHAMBurglar on ForkIt™.
What the hell was I thinking?
