It's not just shens, it's shentastic! :laugh:

some of them are real, I recognize one from a cnet articles comments. The first one, at least, is real

this gem is so good it makes me wanna blow my brains out.

Yes, well, I did receive quite a few pointed 'pointers' about linux not requiring windows, but I am yet to be convinced on that score.

I did witness first hand just the other day, a demonstration of a machine loading up the linux, and several points piqued my interest for sure.

Firstly, the machine loaded into the Microsoft boot sequence prior to loading the linux. This is the segment of the operating system which counts down the memory, and configures the A:, C: and D: drives prior to loading the Microsoft windows. Although the machine did not display the familiar windows animation, it was obvious that the linux was freeloading off the back of this prior installation/boot sequence. The aforementioned demonstrator, upon further questioning, even admitted that 'Oh, That part is not the linux', and then went on to confuse the issue with technical jargon. However, one cannot mask a simple act of piracy with excessive verbosity. A fool and his lamb are worth 2 in the bush.

Now - I will admit after some further research, that the linux is not in fact a complete copy of Microsoft Windows. My research indicates that it is in fact a copy of Unix. I bet you didnt know that young man ? Yes, its a straight copy of Unix, even down to copying verbatim codefiles straight from the source of Unix. I believe there is a court case in progress regarding this latest discovery. The magnitude of the theft is now becoming apparent.

However, this remarkable fact may well uncover the answer to Ed Bott's mystery linux installation failure. You see, the Unix was designed to run within the VHF to UHF spectra (much like a radio), which is all well and good until you consider that modern computers run in the microwave range, at which regular radio reception starts to have serious issues. If one were to use a UHF receiver to tune in to a quad-phased broadcast in the Microwave spectra, one would fail miserably.

I would wager a bet that Ed Bott's computing apparatus was a more contemporary design utilizing a 3GHz central processor unit (or CPU). Under such frequencies, the linux would literally tear itself apart, its code lacking the internal cohesion to sustain this extreme environment. The Microsoft by comparison, is streamlined and engineered to withstand this Microwave environment, thanks no doubt to the forethought of its designers.

And of this there is ample evidence, which one can easily do an msn-search for and witness first hand. All of this evidence is on the public record, and cannot be denied.

Now that one make my already twitching shens-o-scope peg the red.


edit: OK- I read them all. What's the backstory on these? They would have been funnier if they hadn't trailed off in to utter shensville.

those letters can't be real. no one can be that ridiculously uninformed.

besides, reading those letters made my IQ drop 30%.

Any doubt of shens was removed when he started talking about UHF, VHF and microwave.

Shens. The real joke with these types of things is on those who believe all the emails are real.

Shens x eleventybillion

sadly they might not be shens. people just are that stupid.

 

[AmpedSilence]

my heat is hurting, shens or not. I think i have to walk around for a bit and think of something else!

 

[dawp]

it's real, iremember reading that while back on the site it took place, and it wasn't email, it was a thread in responce to something. i forget what site that was, but it is true.

edit: it was on the zdnet.

Wow, I've never used linux and I really don't know much about it, but I do know one thing - the people that wrote those are fucking idiots!
