LinuxToday Advertisement...
« on: 23 August 2003, 03:25 »
Hey. I'm new.

Anyway,

    Go to http://linuxtoday.com/ and look at the advertisement banner at the top. It's a huge ad for Microsoft. I just find it strange that a site that advocates for Linux accepts money from the corporate giant.

    I'm also surprised that Microsoft would go so low as to advertisement on a site for an alternate OS... oh wait, no I'm not.

EDIT: Apparantly, after I refreshed the page a few times, 4 out of 5 different ads were for Microsoft, one was for something called "Dice" (but I didn't pay attention to what it was selling).

I always thought that was a humorous way of looking at it.

Forget any social obligations you might have... you're in BIDNESS.

I should become A CAPTAIN OF INDUSTRY and show these moronic yokels that run companies today HOW IT'S DONE.
