There's at least three people in that thread, not counting you. I'm impressed they were nice enough to keep it in one thread, which is something you can't seem to manage.

Three /prog/ losers and not an ounce of originality among them.
Your uninspired trolling got so repetitive even /sci/ wouldn't fall for it anymore, so now you shit up the other boards? Kindly go back to /b/, please.

The only person I've ever trolled on /sci/ is your boring ass. (Or whoever's been spamming "back to /b/ please" all fucking day)

Dear God, you're an idiot even by /sci/'s low, low standards. Maybe next time someone uses a definite article, you can complain to the International Grammarians' Guild about their spamming of their memes.
I just came back from reading /sci/ My god does that board suck. I thought /prog/ was experiencing some serious issues, /sci/ is in a whole 'nother league compared to here.
I think the overall quality of /prog/ would increase tenfold if we had LaTeX.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/LInux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
