Guess what software Osama Bin Laden uses on his laptop?

Macros linked to this on IRC - Shelley The Republican has outraged hundreds of gullible people with an article on how Linux is a threat to American freedom, a backlash by Europeans jealous of America’s lead in technology. This is clearly an elaborate parody site in my opinion, and very entertaining at that (have a read of some of the other articles). Lots of people still believe it to be genuine, citing Shelley’s republican team as proof of this, but I cannot see past it being a wind-up in the tradition of is your son a computer hacker?

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.
