It's an old article someone showed me. The site is now just sitting there but this is just TOO FUNNY!! If I knew someone this clueless I'd have to slap them... HARD.

I agree, I scanned a couple of other articles on the site and would say there's no way it's real.

Although I did enjoy this footnote:
The Adequacy.org name, logo, symbol, and taglines "News for Grown-Ups", "Most Controversial Site on the Internet", "Linux Zealot", and "He just loves Open Source Software", and the RGB color value: D7D7D7 are trademarks of Adequacy.org.
Now I'm going to have to go change everything to #696969 which is like 39% less good. :(

Yea, it is. For a while I thought "Wow, can people be this stupid?" but then I looked at the comments & someone mentioned the site being a bunch of parodies.

Sad thing is.... I DO know people who think this way!

It is quite sad that there are people that bad and WORSE out there. I had one customer calling in to support... after 11 minutes we had to give up. He couldn't figgure out how to click 'Start'

I really can't see how anyone could have taken this article seriously.

I enjoyed following the links. 'Integrity' led to GW Bush, and 'betrayed the principles' led to Clinton.

I work in a computer store and I have come to the conclusion that some customers are that stupid and should never be let near a toster let alone a computer!

I'm come to the view that the only way to make a computer idiot proof is not to sell it to them in the first place!
