A 37-year-old Colorado Springs man was cited for discharging a weapon within city limits after shooting his Dell computer 8 times with a 9mm handgun. The police report said that he "was fed up with fighting his computer for the last several months" and shot it in a back alley behind his home. What was not mentioned is exactly why he was so "fed up" with his computer. Could this senseless and violent tragedy have been avoided if his PC were running Linux instead?

So, he's claiming he shot in self-defense?

He stood his ground against a potentially aggressive laptop. Those fucking Dells can be real nasty. Ever get your finger caught in the lid? Ouch! Completely justifiable.

If the Computer had been armed, this tragedy could have been prevented.
