I'd just like to interject

[TheObscure]

What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Windows are things that let you see through your walls. And don't even get me started on Mac.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Mac, is in fact, Big Mac, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Big plus Mac.

Cool Story Bro.

Hey, TheObscure, I'm really happy for you, and I'm going to let you finish, but the Quarter Pounder with cheese, or as I've recently taken to call it, "Royal With Cheese", is the best fast food burger of all time. ALL TIME.

(Aside from respectable places that I would call "Diners" not "Fast-Food Places".)

I use to run Ubuntu, and I've concluded this. I'd rather be shot than use linux again.

How bout them Saints?

It sucks they lost in their first playoff game.

What's GNU pussycat? WHOA, uh-WHOA-ooh-OH! OH OH!

Linux is Lucy's brother. The one with the blanket

Either that or the boxer

have a nice day

Many OSs use GNU's coreutils. Note that although the FSF's intent was to come up with their own OS, and would prefer that Linux be called GNU/Linux, most Linux OS maintainers don't agree. If the FSF want's to make their own OS, then they should go for it, but they can't claim Linux as their own simply because Linux has pulled from their contributions.

If you want the truth, and not just FSF's side of the story, you'll have to read more than just gnu.org's web site.

It's been well established Carls Jr. has the best burgers.

The burger gods have spoken.

The boxer is the one that got a rock for Halloween, right?

[topperharley]

Damn right they do. Jack in the Box has good burgers too.

[Lawdog1521]

Charlie Brown was a boxer? What was his record?

[plague]

There's a boxer in Peanuts?

The best burger, according to many of my friends, is Blimpie Burger in Ann Arbor. They say that the grease just runs down your arms as you bite into it. I've never tried it, but Blimpie Sub is pretty good which apparently isn't related.

[Blackjack041277]

Blimpie has found its niche as Subway for people who are too cool for Subway now that Subway has become the new McDonald's and people have grown tired of Jared. (While Quizno's in its attempt to rival Subway has become the new Burger King, I guess.)

I'd consider that a respectable diner. :)

I've been a Linux user since 2007.

I'm not going to say "GNU/Linux" every time. That is all.

What about "GNU plus Linux"?

[CCDaDon]

Wait.
What?

Excuse me. What I meant to say is, OP I would like to inform you that your post has given me the impression, and has made me come to the conclusion that you are a NERD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gowienczyk]

It gave me the impression that he is a brilliant troll, personally.

[plague]

I think that he gets -7 nerd points.

[Sarge51]

We nerds are of a proud race. Please do not associate him with us.

[MisterMixelpix]

What about "GNU plus Linux"?

Nupe, just Linux. Or really, I'll just say what distro I use. I've been on Arch since early 2008.

[DethTung]

I'd just like to interject. When you are using Windows, you are actually using Broken Windows, or, as I like to call it, Broken plus Windows. Also, the Game.

[Sarge51]

I'd like to interject. My Windows are intact.

[ArmsAreLoud]

Actually, they're not.

Sorry about that, I'm not very good at baseball.

[Sarge51]

I've got your ball, though. Nyeh-heh!

...God I am lonely. T_T
