Linux: A European threat to our computers<br>

Questo e' un altro fake, sempre scritto apposta per prendere in giro
chi certe cose le pensa veramente :)<br>

Like most things that are worth owning, Computers are an American
invention. Look at any modern computer and you will see that the whole
thing is the product of American brilliance.
<p>For example, this rugged IBM laptop I am using was designed and
built by an American company. It runs software built by Microsoft, one
of America’s most productive organizations. My computer does everything
I could possibly want: I can do my work, submit my taxes and even
search the Bible.</p>
<p>Like all the greatest American engineering, it’s an example of
innovation that makes a growing group of European and Chinese hackers
jealous. They hate our lead in computing technology and will stop at
nothing until they have control of all of our computers.</p>
<p>I’m talking about a project called ‘Linux’, something you may not
have encountered, but might do some day.<br>
It’s a computer program that was initially developed in Finland as a
means of circumventing valuable copyrights and patents owned by an
American company called SCO Group.</p>
<p>Unlike Windows, which is a mature commercial product which is
normally included with every new computer, Linux is given away. Now it
may not sound like much of a problem, after all there is very little
profit in merely giving a product away.</p>
<p>This would be certainly true were in not for the Linux project’s
seductive Marxist ideology and the effect that it has on ‘Blue-State’
liberals. Indeed, Linux is so pervasive amongst the blue states and
many liberal universities that a leading computer expert Steve Balmer
(from Microsoft) described Linux as cancer.</p>
<p>The American software industry is worth more than $7 Billion;
Introducing a foreign product like Linux which is often copied for free
could threaten that entire industry. A generation of computer users
might get use to accepting foreign software hand-outs rather than
paying for a superior American products. If only the danger were just
to our economy:</p>
<p>These days computers control everything from TV stations to
battleships; Our crucial information and defense infrastructure is
built on computer technology. If we allow this cancer into our
networks, there is no knowing what the effect might be on our
infrastructure, but that is just what liberals are trying to do.</p>
<p>Imagine if the State of the Union address were hacked because the TV
station decided to save money by using Linux? Imagine if a
stealth-bomber crashed because it’s software was written by anonymous
Chinese or European hackers. It would make as much sense as inviting
the French to come over and take over the White-House.</p>
<p>And guess what software Osama Bin Laden uses on his laptop?</p>
<p>If you guessed it was Linux you would be 100% right. Osama uses
Linux because he knows designed to counterfit DVDs, curcumventing the
Digital Millenium Copyright Act, and defraud companies like Disney.</p>
<p>Next time somebody asks you how Al Queda agents pay for their rifles
and rocket launchers, you can tell them that foreign hackers make
software called Linux which helps them steal from Americans.</p>
<p>This Linux problem is a growing issue, and one that conservative
Americans cannot afford to ignore. Fortunately Microsoft have prepared
a great deal of information to help computer users get away from this
menace. But there is something you can do to help keep American #1 in
the computer business:</p>
<p>If one of your friends is using Linux or may be tempted to try it
show them this article. Explain that Linux is a genuine threat and that
by using it they may be opening their computer to Chinese hackers.</p>
<p>If you see a company using Linux, it may be that they have not paid
for this software. Report them to the Business Software Alliance who
have the legal authority to inspect any company’s computers for illegal
programs like Linux.</p>
<p>Finally, remember to include Linux users in your prayers tonight. As
individuals we may not be able to change people’s minds, but the Bible
teaches that God can make any sinner repent.</p>
