Another Digg-worthy article submitted by an actual Digg user. We're headed toward reddit-style pun threads:

Condescending, much? You make it seem as if all Digg users are retards and Hacker News readers are inherently superior in both intellect and manners. Well, yeah maybe in some cases.. but come on. I find it insulting that you seem to suggest that I'm of an inferior breed ('oh look he's a digg user') and I shouldn't be allowed to infiltrate this community.

And I've been here for a while, didn't just sign up last month to submit spam. See my user history and join dates.

They're taking over, slowly but surely.

Here I thought it was a poorly titled article, perhaps for something like a super lower power microcontroller running linux powered by a potato. Instead I find totally senseless satire (which I do appreciate, just not on HN) mocking the linux community and slowly turning this site in another reddit/digg.

HAHAHAHA that is AMAZING. I'm in the middle of final exams now and I hate my life, and that article just made my week. Especially this line: "It started on electronic devices like Gameboys and iPods, but recently groups have taken on tougher challenges like light bulbs and puppies."
