I've never had any problems with it either. It works great for me.

OMG how ignorant.

I'm almost positive that article was a joke, and if not... a massive facepalm in order

These clever Mexican hackers have taken over many of the word’s email systems by taking advantage of vulnerabilities in the Linux operating system placed in the computer program by their Chinese communist allies.

Because Windows is SO much more of a secure OS, and Linux is SO easy to hack with it's tiny amount of distro's. :-)

Lol just read this :

And guess what software Osama Bin Laden uses on his laptop?

If you guessed it was Linux you would be 100% right. Osama uses Linux because he knows designed to counterfit DVDs, curcumventing the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, and defraud companies like Disney.

Next time somebody asks you how Al Queda agents pay for their rifles and rocket launchers, you can tell them that foreign hackers make software called Linux which helps them steal from Americans.

HA. If this isnt a joke, whoever wrote this is incredibly ignorant (likemost Americans then ;P).

Because there are absolutely NO DVD pirating software out there for Windows. And like Bin Laden would have the computer knowledge to use Linux. He'd shut down the computer on Gparted and corrupt the Hard Drive. Also, that could be an insult to Americans.




P.S. I am not American

Um, yeah that was the idea. But note the ;P after it denoting a joke. And BTW, I am obviously not American (just thought I should point that out for any American readers ;P lol)

7zip is apparently one of the best compressors out there. however, it is highly used by Linux so it might be a communist plot...

Errrr, NO?
Please, folks:

GPL != Linux
In fact, a 7-zip port for *nix appeared only much later than the original Win version.
