[ale] I can't quit laughing

[Jim Kinney]

Having been in this since kernel v.0.95 and seen the train wreck of
Microsoft trying to hold off the inevitable, for them to cave this quickly
and USE a Linux cluster as a core component is just a funny thing to me.

And, yes, it is _QUITE_ a compliment!

As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to
consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they
please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.
