The City of Barcelona kicks out Microsoft in favor of Linux and open source. The Barcelona city administration will migrate its existing systems from Microsoft and proprietary software to Linux and Free and Open Source Software. First the user applications will be upgraded to FOSS. Once all proprietary applications are removed, the proprietary operating systems will be removed. Around 70% of the software budget will be invested in FOSS with the goal being to help local talent through regional small and medium-sized businesses. Additionally, 65 developers will be brought in and kept in-house to work on custom packages and other customization needs.

    So pedantic idiots could attempt to confuse the issue? Do you see that sea of raised Soylentil hands? No? Neither did I. Begone, troll, before we shine the light of truth upon you and your dick turns to stone, and falls off, as it should.

    Also, are you not trolling by saying the other AC should have his dick turned to stone and removed? Weird shit, man; weird shit.

      Not removed, just detached by exposure to the light. It's a Unix thing. LPT1 is on fire.
