"Since the fast-food establishment is not known for Linux distributions, and since nobody wants a deep-fried penguin, we can only assume that Wilson witnessed what appears to be Ubuntu coquettishly flashing a desktop rather than confirming the customer's desires.
Unless, of course, you can list those desires in a command line terminal window, and the drive-through operator is actually a secret Linux whizz, who has seen an opportunity to punch a keyboard randomly to do "cyber." "

There are always alternatives, not "there is no alternative". Married to a wonderful wife with with two adult sons, living in Calgary. I like getting out on my bike. I care about social justice. Unemployed or semi-retired? I would actually love to work (part time? consultation?) with purpose. Ph.D. in physics and nearly 28 year career in IT. "Debts that cannot be paid will not be paid." "The purpose of a system is what it does."

@johnefrancis@cosocial.ca @evan@cosocial.ca I'm thinking it is borked. I'm only following a few of its tags and cannot recall seeing any boosts, but more importantly any tags I use are ignored by it.
