3:52 PM me: I have already failed to prevent this with Angie's laptop

I was gutted
Quinn: these people have no stomach for the war that must be fought.
me: Reason for divorce? Irreconcilable differences? :-p
3:53 PM Quinn: he needs more hdd space. for his pr0n collection probably.
me: That is exactly the problem. There are not enough extremists in the world, and the ones that exist prefer to blow themselves up for Islam
3:55 PM Quinn: dammit. if only we could convince them to blow themselves up for linux instead.

3:56 PM me: They could shout "For Software Freedom!" just before detonating
