Why do all these companies developing privatised software use the word "Open"? Real question.

There was a joke in one of the BOFH episodes (Bastard Operator from Hell for those unfamiliar, look it up if you don’t know it, it’s worth it) that went like this:

“So I tell him, ‘you can’t port Debian to a car computer, it’s not an open system’ ha ha ha ha”

That joke was not about the car computer.

A user called me complaining that he needed more space. I deleted half his data.
