No mentioning of Linux nor Android?  The hell comes after decades of being wired to the screens, yo genome will be altered epigenetically and big pharma starts milking yo bank accounts....

There was an interesting statement on that page "London borough drops 
Windows, goes with Chromebooks, saves around £400,000"

If you research it you'll find:

"He explained that the Chromebook is used like a thin client which 
connects into the Citrix environment so that it looks like Windows"

You'll also discover that

"But when the council exited the Microsoft agreement it managed to get 
between 600 and 1,000 desktops with the Windows 7 operating system 
installed and covered under perpetual licences.

The reason the council needed machines with Windows installed was 
because some apps can't be delivered through the Citrix environment.

"As we are a council, we have some obscure apps that would need a lot of 
work to run through Citrix," said Hay-Campbell.

Another reason was because some employees needed help with accessibility 
through the use of screen readers and specialist peripherals."

So not quite the extinction of Windows that the COLA would like and 
particularly interesting that Windows is the best platform for users 
needing accessibility options.

What link is there between using an operating system other than Linux 
and Hell? Where do they find these mentally-unstable people?

Windows users. And most OSX users. There are exceptions, but in this group 
there are none. All of your ilk is retarded and mentally ill

Windows made them stupid, and Android's success made them stark raving
mad.

Ah Android, that well known mobile Malware Magnet

https://www.sophos.com/en-us/security-news-trends/security-trends/malware-goes-mobile/why-ios-is-safer-than-android.aspx

I'll stick with my iPhone and iPad thanks, never had any malware on any 
of the business devices nor the home ones.

I think what you meant to say was " Windows made them profitable, 
wealthy and free-time rich, Apple gave them piece of mind but Linux 
Desktop's weird problems and poor hardware support & Android's malware 
made us lunatics but at least it didn't cost us anything."

Regardless of whether you will read this or not, I'm curious how you 
feel about Google's decision not to allow the latest Android version 7.0 
to run on 2013 Nexus devices. This strikes me as an Apple-like move 
which is fairly bizarre considering the mobile OS runs on Linux. Either 
way, I don't support the move myself; it's up to the user to decide 
whether he or she is willing to accept poor performance and missing 
features to run the latest operating system, not the company.

Snit: "Heck, how much of the original Linux code is in the current Linux 
code?"

Moron Kohlmann: "Very little. Just look at the line count of the kernels 
alone"

Without examining the code bases... just by counting the lines... 
Dumbkopf magically knows "very little" of the original kernel code is 
still in there.

And he has the nerve to label others 'retarded'?

Someone good with scripting and various diff tools could give us a true 
percentage estimate of how much early code still remains.

He's obviously looking at it as a percentage.

> And he has the nerve to label others 'retarded'?

LOL! C'mon, English not being his first language, I can see why he might respond like that.

I'm figuring Snit probably meant how much of the original code has remained in the current code base, which is not what is being asked in this quote.

Correction: "I'm figuring Snit probably meant how much of the original code has *not* remained in the current code base, which is not what is being asked in this quote.
