Stupid Television Executives

| See what I'm getting at? What a stupid message! 
| What a stupid policy to block Linux users! And 
| how rude to not even tell us up front that we 
| are being blocked! There are xx million Linux 
| users in the United States. Nobody knows what 
| xx is, but we're pretty sure that the number of 
| Linux users in the US is in the tens of 
| millions. If you believe the hit counters that 
| some web sites use to collect stats on 
| visitors, perhaps 5-7% of us who cruise the web 
| are running some flavor of Linux. The 
| population of the United States is 
| approximately 350 million people. Five percent 
| of 350 million is around 17.5 million.

no support is a business and PR mistake.

| "Forty percent of servers run Windows, 60 percent run Linux," he said. "How
| are we doing? Forty is less than 60, so I don't like it. ... We have some
| work to do."
