Like gun nuts holding a rifle in your face to prove they are strong. Like coal rollers 'proving' that smoke doesn't harm them. And like this to 'prove' something to some nebulous spy agency that is forbidden by law from spying on Americans.

There is not a thing wrong with using Linux or using Dbase 3 Plus. But it doesn't prove someone's strength in standing up to someone when that someone doesn't really give a shit about you.
