Perhaps the biggest radio station around here is called Capital FM.
It's based in London, England.

Anyway, this morning, while I was listening online, one of the DJs was
complaining about receiving lots of virus and spam mails in her inbox.
So I dropped her an e-mail advising her to try Mozilla Thunderbird, with
its in-built, pre-trained Bayesian filters. Of course, I didn't use
those exact technial terms in the message.

Soon after I sent it, she read it out on air

You should've said 'Install Linux', see if that got on the air

It's no longer a question of windows or GNU, it's a question of *Unix* or GNU.

Actually what happened was the company asked the Cash family for
permission to use the tune.

Fortunately they said no.

There is no logical reason for anyone to hate Linux and pray for its
failure, but you do. Any intelligent, rational person, even those who
prefer Windows, would still want to see Linux succeed as a competitor for
Microsoft since that would benefit everyone (other than Gates and co.).

Given that the above paragraph is undebatable, have you ever tried to
understand why you hate Linux and hope for its failure? It's quite
irrational, you know.
