Comment Re:Why (Score 1) 904

Me unzipping on the sidewalk and taking a leak is the most natural thing possible. Actually it's more natural than breastfeeding, since there's no requirement of having popped out a baby recently. Anyone could do it any time, and there are in fact no good alternatives to disposing of bodily waste.

Now. Would you like to see me pissing on the street? What if I decided I'd like to post pictures of this totally natural act onto Facebook?

In fact, I'm more disturbed that this act could potentially get me a citation which would equate me with a child molester.

Well, I'd say two of the points are significant hurdles Linux has to learn to overcome somehow. I think the biggest problem Linux has is that it's advocates don't realize most users could care less about things like scripting, just don't ever get them near a command line. Also, the geek perception is a problem. A few weeks ago I had a friend at my house, and we were watching internet video off my Ubuntu system connected to my TV, and wanted to watch something on my other computer. As I was browsing for the file she asked me why the computer didn't look normal. I explained it was running Linux, and her response was, "Well, that proves it. You're definitely a geek." She knew Linux was another OS, but apparently to her Windows is the normal one, Mac is the artist/hipster one, and Linux is the geeky one.
