O.S airlines

UNIX Airways

Everyone brings one piece of the plane along when they come to the airport. They all go out on the runway and put the plane together piece by piece, arguing non-stop about what kind of plane they are supposed to be building.

Air DOS

Everybody pushes the airplane until it glides, then they jump on and let the plane coast until it hits the ground again. Then they push again, jump on again, and so on ...

Mac Airlines

All the stewards, captains, baggage handlers, and ticket agents look and act exactly the same. Every time you ask questions about details, you are gently but firmly told that you don't need to know, don't want to know, and everything will be done for you without your ever having to know, so just shut up.

Windows XP Air

The terminal is pretty and colorful, with friendly stewards, easy baggage check and boarding, and a smooth take-off. After about 10 minutes in the air, the plane explodes with no warning whatsoever.

Windows Server 2003 Air

Just like Windows Air, but costs more, uses much bigger planes, and takes out all the other aircraft within a 40-mile radius when it explodes.

Linux Air

Disgruntled employees of all the other OS airlines decide to start their own airline. They build the planes, ticket counters, and pave the runways themselves. They charge a small fee to cover the cost of printing the ticket, but you can also download and print the ticket yourself. When you board the plane, you are given a seat, four bolts, a wrench and a copy of the seat-HOWTO.html. Once settled, the fully adjustable seat is very comfortable, the plane leaves and arrives on time without a single problem, the in-flight meal is wonderful. You try to tell customers of the other airlines about the great trip, but all they can say is, "You had to do what with the seat?"

I would have thought that Microosft would hve replaced the blue screen of death, since every body knows windows dose it. They should havreplaced with with a black screen with gray text thats says:

KERNEL PANIC!â„¢

Windows was shutdown to prevent damage, probably. More likly it was shutdown becasue the kernel didn't like what was happening when you where installing openoffice.

I like linux air, do I get to keep the seat?

No... you have to share you seat, so people can see how you attached it, and copy you. Also, you may find that your plane splits into different parts going to different locations randomly mid-flight. The flight attendants will also tell you that this isn't Windows Airline when you ask for a drink, and point you to the box of parts and a stack of manuals that is the coffee machine.

Air Gentoo

You have to notify the airlines in advance of your flight, as each plane is custom built for your travel. You are given a 5 page print out full of options you want included on the plane (paint, overhead lights, seats, in flight movie, in flight meal, etc). On the day of your flight the plane sets the tarmac on fire as it takes off like a bullet, speeding you to your destination at Mach 6. If you forgot to add something to your flight, you can't have it until your next flight, as the whole plane must be rebuilt. If you need to fly on short notice and have not yet flown with Air Gentoo, you are screwed.

Saying WindowsXP is "pretty" is like saying that monokernels are a good choice for your personal defibrillator.

It was pretty, back in 2001.

No, OSX was out back in 2001 :P. Plus, even when I emulate XP I have to put it on classic mode because

A:XP mode fucking lags

and

B:XP mode is fugly.

Now, you could say that classic mode looks better than actual 98 without being inaccurate. But to compare either to an OS that doesn't suck is a bit of a stretch ;P.
