Once again, the presstitutes have attacked desktop Linux. Enough is enough, it's time to fight back and put them in their place.
Every once in a while we hear that desktop Linux is dead and buried. A columnist at PC World recently pushed this hoary old chestnut in a column entitled “Desktop Linux: The Dream is Dead.”
Ugh.
I hate it when somebody regurgitates this stuff. It never changes and it’s never fair or accurate to desktop Linux. Most of it is simply spin, lies and distortions and it ought not to go unchallenged. Yet we see these presstitutes pushing this crap over and over again.
Well let me tell you something, desktop Linux is alive and well; and it’s getting better and better.
I spent time with a non-tenured, history professor that was a former newspaper man. That was the first time I heard the term and until now I had not seen it used anywhere.
He was given the boot when he cracked a joke that was taken as fact by a then full professor, who then proceeded to make an utter fool of himself. Unfortunately, a deed that could not go unpunished.
The word - (infaam - in Dutch) together with abject - has risen to popularity in my country as some popstar-like lawyer recently used it in a high-profile case in court.
Now it's used by almost everybody to note things they don't like, and soon guys with big trousers only reaching up to their knees and large baseball hats will use the word in their urban language, I think.
