[Nottingham] All a joke?...

[Martin]

Folks,

Just stumbled across this:

“1f u c4n r34d th1s u r34lly n33d t0 g37 l41d”

Unfortunately, I fail the test and so need to follow the advice :-(

It did give a good giggle :-)


Which comes to mind for the world of jokes about Microsoft and/vs
Linux... The Linux jokes appear to be largely amusing for various
genuine quirks. The Microsoft jokes appear to be predominantly negative
or dark humour...

Can the success of an OS be rated by the mix of jokes doing the rounds
in the cybersphere?... (There must be an academic study on that
/somewhere/ ... ;-) )


Some examples:
