Now *this* is a decent explanation as to why the upswing in the latter half
of 2011 is not something that should be taken all that seriously - it seems
it was very localized. Nothing to do with all of cc's utter BS on the
topic.
So why did California have such a jump? Odd.
I love cc's take on your reporting of that:
-----
I predicted that as more of California's citizens could buy
legal weed, the usage of Linux would increase. There's a very
obvious correlation between smoking doobies and using Linux.
Of course, the herd will never acknowledge that I was right.

LOL! As always, cc is just lost.
