Re: google trivia
I've never liked that site as it is highly prejudicial against people
who speak or write in English.
It automatically eliminates any statement that might have been written
by a person of normal intelligence. Most people would not normally use
such phrases as "Linux rules, dude" or "yo, yo, Microsoft sucks dog."
Therefore, the results are no more valid than, say, a political poll
involving only Fox News viewers.
I do think that the relative sample sizes are fascinating though.
4480/7016 that have some form of opinion (whether they are capable of
expressing it in multi-syllable English or not) on Linux versus the
runner up, Windows, with 2680/722.
This could be interpreted in one of two ways: That far more people are
discussing Linux, or that a far greater percentage of those that are
discussing Linux also routinely butcher the English language in cruel
and unforgivable ways.

I am not cynical. I am not bitter. I just believe that if you aren't
angry then you aren't paying enough attention.
