What would Jesus install?

his disciples, and teaching us whatever things that he might choose to
teach us about. No doubt Jesus will need to have a computer, exchange
emails with disciples, have a website, and otherwise take advantage of
modern technology.
If so, what operating system would he choose?
Would he, for example, use a Mac? The FreeBSD OS, stolen from free
software and taken proprietary?
Or would he use Microsoft Windows? The OS where Jesus could not
possible find Devil's work even if it was there? Would he accept an OS
which he could not even share with his friends? Would he like to be
raided by BSA if it was found that Jesus was giving copies of it to
his friends?
I do not think that Jesus would agree to any of that.
I think that Jesus would use an OS that embodies the spirit of
sharing, freedom, compatibility and reaching out to all of his
potential contributors.
So that leaves Jesus with the real choice, to use Linux or FreeBSD.
Which one of them would He install?

Open source is not stealing. It is sharing with permission.

I disagree. Here is why. Consider the parable of feeding the masses
from a small amount of food. Obviously the bread and fish had to be
copied. If the bread and fish were proprietary then copying them would
be discouraged and the people would starve.

The only people who said "No No No" to him were the Romans and the
Sanhedron. These were the agents of conformity at the time not Jesus.
> Satan would use Open Source.
That's an interesting thought... As I understand it the name Satan
comes from the Hebrew "Ha Satan" which is supposed to translate to the
prosecutor. Apparently Satan is not the same individual as Lucifer.
Satan was supposed to have tempted Jesus in the desert. In terms of
computers what would he have used to tempt people...
How about bells and whistles. Eye-candy as it were... There's
spectacular eye-candy in Vista. There is also some in Compiz/Fusion. As
with any temptation there is a catch. In this case loss of resources,
stability, and speed.
For personal use someone who deals in logic (like a prosecutor) would
be after performance rather than looks. In this case I'd agree.
> Probably Suse.
Never used it. I've used operating systems on mainframes, minis, and
micros. On micros I started with the Apple][, Classic Mac, and DOS (four
varieties). I've worked my way through all the steps to OS X, XP,
several varieties of Linux, and BSD. The only ones to work out of the
box were the ones on the Apple][ and DOS. All the others required some
tweaking depending on what I wanted. If I wanted to confound someone I
would give them a legitimate high definition media and tell them they
could only view it on Vista Home Basic (with all the DRM enabled). ;-)
> His minions would use ubuntu
It depends on what they'd do with it... If I were them and wanted to be
nasty, I'd have them use XP with the *ORIGINAL EULA* (the one which was
dropped days after coming out). It said the user turned over ownership
to M$ corp. of any computer they had with XP installed. Selling ones
soul to the devil as it were.
Like I said it's a slow day. I pity anybody who takes this seriously. :-)

But because this sinner does not seem to repent it'll have to be open
source.
Not that any other source isn't open for him but he likes to contribute
his own patches and share them.

To prove He really IS the Son of God, he will perform the greatest miracle
ever.
He will Make Microsoft operating systems and applications bug free and

My thinking is this. You cannot steal open source software. So your
point about stealing is moot.
However, Jesus liked to share, for example he used a few loaves of
bread to feed so many thousands of people. That's an open source
approach.
Satan, however, would use a Mac, which is slick but would entrap the
unwary.

http://www.screedbomb.info/coosn/
Q: Who is eligible for a COOSN?
A: Kookologists with 10 or more verifiable UV points may exchange these
points for a Cabal Obsidian Order Sombrero Number.
Q: Who is *not* eligible for a COOSN?
A: Certified net.kooks; notorious net.cretins; terminally clueless
fuckwits; previous winners of kook-awards, unless an official pardon has
been granted by the FNVW.
Q: How do I apply for a COOSN?
A: Make a Usenet post to alt.usenet.kooks (crossposting to your favourite
newsgroups is acceptable); to ensure that the FNVW actually sees your
request, try to use either of the following formats for the subject line:
[COOSN Application] Your name (or best known handle) here
[COOSN Request] Your name (or best known handle) here
Please provide a list of 10 UV points - along with verifiable evidence for
each point wherever possible.
Q: Can one Kookologist nominate *another* Kookologist for a COOSN?
A: Yes, but the proposer should supply a verifiable list of 10 UV points
for the nominee at the time of the nomination. Also, the nominee must
accept the nomination before a COOSN is issued.
Q: What happens if my Sombrero Number application is refused by the FNVW?
A: The Office of Darth Bawl is always looking for new candidates. Nuff
said.
Q: What are "UV points"?
1. Threats of violence, especially death. (one point per kook)
2. Lists, i.e. *real* lists, not just mentions of two or three names in
the same post. One list per kook, unless the lists are clearly meant to
serve different purposes.
3. Fanboi sites (one point per kook, not one point per site. Minimum
qualification is a whole page about you; pages containing lists don't
score extra if the list also appears on Usenet).
4. Fanboi newsgroups (one point per kook, not one point per group)
5. Attempts at real-life contact (e.g. posting phone numbers)
6. Fake awards, revenge nominations etc. (one point per kook)
7. Mentions in a newsgroup FAQ (e.g. soc.men).
8. Being the target of a Kooksuit (one point per kook).
