I think the "SPLORF!!!!" really belongs here. "Wintel" indeed ... as if
it being a computer automatically means it /must/ be installed with the
Microslop from Redmond.

That's a BIOS thing, Terry, and entirely OS agnostic. ;)

As for the actual film:

Starring "Mr. Fukov" and "Ensign Shitty". LOL!
The Finns have a sense of humour. Who knew?
Actually, the film's genesis is rather interesting. Apparently it's
another in a long line of well received Trekkie fan-films from this
group of Finnish amateurs, which has even been aired on TV and then
released on DVD! The license is the Creative Commons (by-nc-nd), so
it seems that it is quite feasible to release media content under a
permissive license *and* make money, just like selling GPL licensed
software, thus proving, yet again, that Free Software (in the wider
sense of the word "Software") is not in contradiction to capitalism
... it's just in contradiction to /monopolisation/. Of course, this
makes perfect sense, as monopolisation is anti-capitalist.
