Concerning Richard Stallman and GNU:

I'm constantly amazed when I'm talking to visual arts people and they look perplexed and say 'what?' when I tell them I use GIMP. These twits, starving in their garrets, shell out so much money to Adobe when they could just take a moment to enter the real world.

And then there are the quasi-computer literate who download cracked torrent copies of Photoshop, thereby benefiting no one but themselves.

Ditch microcrap..

Come over to the dark side completely

that's excellent!

And not only does it understand various commands, it also has its take on *nix command line humour (eg http://www.tbi.univie.ac.at/~ronke/FUN/unix.html )

e.g:
guest@xkcd:/$ man woman

guest@xkcd:/$

and
guest@xkcd:/$ ping

There is another submarine three miles ahead, bearing 225, forty fathoms down.
