Given the level of scepticism everyone (let alone journalists!) should adopt on Annual Internet Dickhead Day, and the liberal sprinkling throughout this email of mistruths and what could, at a stretch, be described as "jokes"... I am gobsmacked that LWN posted it.

As a matter of contrast, I was (merely) surprised to see that "OMG! Ubuntu!" fell for it. ;-)

Not a comparison I thought I'd ever make!

Lol, my thoughts exactly

It's a shame because I usually use LWN as an example of good tech reporting and omgubuntu as an example of a terrible one.

But they both fell for this... what a pity

(the alternative desktop shells part was a clear giveaway, it's like red meat to the shell haters)
