    I think Sturgeon's Law is a remarkable piece of prescience, formulated as it was before the web came along:

    99% of everything is crap

    1. Average User Intelligence is inversely propotional to Total Number of Users.

    2. Normal Person + Anonymity + Audience = F**kwad.

    The second model can be described graphically as below :

    I like it when in the middle of comments someone digs out that the blog itself is hosted on Linux, but people still won't get it and try to argue

    All Europeans are naked commie bastards! All hail to the US - the French and British colony from Hell! Land of the free and the outcasts from Europe. Protectors of slavery and racism.

    Drop nukes on Ikea, the capital of Europe, and put an end to this communist mayhem!

    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.
    Well, what do you know ! And there was me thinking that Bin Laden was a bad guy plotting against the West, but all along he's the same as us ! All he wants to do it sit and watch Mickey Mouse

    That's usual. Real satire and sarcasm, i.e post-Benny Hill hasn't made it to America yet. They still insist in packing several-hundred awkwardly joined jokes into crap export material (read Friends, Frasier and Will and Grace etc).

    Their basic intent is to make your face hurt, not amuse you.

    I do like this bit

    Yes, Linux is a primative European clone; It is much less capable than Windows. In fact it omits features that were standard in Windows back in 1998; For example Linux has no built-in anti-virus or anti-spyware software.

    You cannot even buy popular utilities like Norton Security to compensate for this fact. There are no tools for common tasks like defragging a hard disk. God knows what you would use to send a fax or make a website. You cannot even get Front Page for Linux.
