A baby named Linux
I’m sorry. I might like Linux but I can see that pencil thin line (yes, that means it’s erasable) that differentiates (argh! Calculus!) between appreciation and fanaticism. I’ve done my share of blatant Linux propaganda (with a fair few converts) but I’ve dimmed down a bit now. If people want me to help with their computer woes, the first thing I’ll suggest is to switch to Linux, but otherwise, I’ve generally stopped blasting “Thou are ignorant” speeches to random passers-by.
Excellent example of ultimate Linux fanatic (fanatic in this context is used in the negative sense of the word) goes to Christian Nielson (and his girlfriend). I’m sorry. This is almost as crazy as the guy who changed his name to Optimus Prime (and various others). By itself, the word Linux is a pretty good name – in fact, that’s mainly the reason Linux did better than BSD: the name sounded cooler. However, I think we should think again before naming our kids after products. Think about their future and whether you’d appreciate it if we named you “Lolcat”.

Epic example of how the world as we know it is plain crazy. (Read the comments to the post too, they’re just as insightful)
