Hulleye Comes By!

this is one of the best pieces of satire that i’ve read. unfortunately, there’s way too much truth in this to be funny. with all this hoo-haa behind GTA IV, things look pretty grim from the morality police headed by the hillary clintons and the uk govt’s of the world. yeah, it’s always about protecting “the children”, which leads me to wonder where “the parents” are, and if these people are so serious about making the world better for the children, why they don’t invest the same amount of energy and resources into securing quality healthcare and world-class education for them as they spend wringing their hands over video games that aren’t even supposed to be played by the children in the first place.

so this guy sits his girlfriend down and gives her a brand new ubuntu machine to use. she’s a complete windows user who has never used linux before. and then he gives her a few tasks to do such as burning and downloading a music album, photoshopping images, changing OS themes, drawing pictures and saving it in different formats, and launching things like her MSN profile.

the results are interesting. i don’t agree too much with a lot of his conclusions but the way the user decided to go about doing things makes for a good read. tost how’s your conversion been with you and omair?
