Title: Linux on Public Radio
Post by: sporkme on 23 July 2002, 05:28

Midday tuesday Public Interest is doing a bit on Linux, and i assume there will be a little MS bashing =)

check local US Public Radio listings.

watch for talk of the nation to do a bit on it too, maybe next friday...  they usually cover the same crap.

Public Radio is run by the public, so I doubt that most of the morons that listen in will support the pro-Linux argument or even know what Linux is.

But if it gets some more positive exposure out there, it can only be a good thing. Especially if it doesn't come from the "Linux is god because it's not Microsoft and everything is open" camp -- it should come from a viewpoint more accessible to the public.

Linux is good because it is good, not because it is not M$.

i disagree. If they can't tell it's not "warez", then they are probably so stupid that you could bullshit them all sorts of things without having to even download anything.

you can listen to (fucking) realaudio here:
http://www.wamu.org/ram/2002/p2020723.ram (http://www.wamu.org/ram/2002/p2020723.ram)

i hate real

edit:
oh and all a .ram is is a text file with the actual address of the .ra so if you have trouble try opening it in text and going there


they do pretty good by linux and even bash the tcpa briefly.  i emailed them about how it would kill us all but i guess my shotty dogearl did not make the cut.
