Message-ID: <4808A7C4.2080600@tmr.com> Date: Fri, 18 Apr 2008 09:53:08 -0400 From: Bill Davidsen <davidsen@....com> To: Linux Kernel mailing List <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: New comic book: Iron Man vs. Linux I couldn't make this up, there's a new comic book coming out, and the bad guy is "a post-national business man and kind of an open source ideological terrorist,” who sounds a lot like our favorite leader. The description is "Windows wants to be on every computer desktop in the world, but Linux and Stane want to destroy the desktop. " Stupidity factor aside, you have to wonder who thinks it would be a good idea to push the idea of Linux as evil in books intended for children. Let's see, Linux evil, Windows good, who could benefit from that? Makes a good conspiracy theory, if you can believe that there is someone so set on profit that they would poison the mids of innocent children. http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=15905 <http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=15905> Since Linux is a trademark, I assume they can't really do this, MSFT would certainly sue if someone was going to publish a comic about Windows being evil. -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen@....com> "Woe unto the statesman who makes war without a reason that will still be valid when the war is over..."
