Stumble it!

On my daily crawl of all things tech-related, I came across this absolutely crazy post on ZDNet's Talkback forums. This jerryleecooper dude is either positive proof that Derek Zoolander is posting using an alias, or this guy truely does not have a freaking clue!

Try not to make too much fun of the ignorant.

Sure, it may be more lean and powerful, but it's just not user friendly. And nor is it compatible with the all the software Windows is capable of running.

For technical and professional use, like running servers; Linux is indispensable. But for home and office applications, Windows is the obvious choice.

WHAT DA FUCK! Oh my Christ. I have never in my life witnessed such disgusting ignorance and lack of technical knowledge. The most incredible thing of all is that the user is convinced that he knows what he is talking about. THE Linux uses critical parts of Windows to "run the computer from start to finish"? I am laughing so god damn fucking hard right now. Shouted + Chain Mailed.

Yeah either this guy is a complete and utter idiot or this is just some sort of obscure humour.

Multiply that moron by a few million and you have the basic underpinnings of the portion of the internet user base that considers itself technically knowledgable. IT is going to be in such awesome shape in a generation.
