A classic copy-pasta often attributed to rms but contains parts that he denied being from him. It's best used whenever you see a debate over the correct format of Linux and GNU/Linux.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU
which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system
that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;
it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is
normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system
is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"
distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Get the I'd just like to interject for a moment mug.A person (or persons) that one may typically find on the internet. Their opinions and understandings of any subject they choose to discuss are superior to that of you or any expert in the field. They frequent message boards, the blogosphere, and can be found anywhere on the internet. Not every person that uses the internet is an "internet person," and it's very rare that an internet person would acknowledge his or her self as being one.
Internet people can easily be likened to the Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons.
They also frequently like unpopular things and hate popular things, though if unpopular things become popular they can switch their opinions easily.
Not to be confused with troll

Normal person: "I loved Ocarina of Time, it's easily one of the greatest games of all time."
Internet person: "Ocarina of Time was a trite play on what was once a great series. It is simply A Link to the Past in 3D, with a simplistic and predictable story. Your opinion on the game shows your lack of sophistication."

Get the 4-Way interlock mug.When you think you can sit behind your computer screen and write whatever you want, to whomever you want. These are not things you would say the person if you were face to face. That would require having balls when you're away from your computer...which you don't. Internet balls are only obtained while behind the screen and keyboard.
"Liz has internet balls. She wrote a long winded post about my wife being a drugged out zombie. I would like to see her say that stuff to her face!"

Get the no phun intended mug.A derogatory term, originally coined by the infamous Sargent D (of SYWH fame), used to describe elitist metalheads who only listen to bands that are currently considered to be "hip" and "underground".
The heavy metal equivalent of hipsters. Often the first people to cry "Sell-Out!" the moment a band has success of any kind. IMNs often tend to have very few friends and/or a dead end job. They mostly stick to basement dwelling and they never EVER get invited to parties.
There are two cardinal sins among IMNs:
- Diversity: If it isn't metal it can't be any good. IMNs hate people with a broad taste in music. That means that all other forms of music i.e. Jazz, Blues, Reggae/Ska, Punk (aside from a few choice Hardcore bands), Folk, Alternative, Indie, and any other genre you can name are all forbidden. Most IMNs don't seem to realize that their favorite metal bands have very strong. non-metal influences.
- Bands They Don't Like: IMNs like to think they are the be all end all music authority whether they realize it or not. With most people, mentioning a band someone dislikes will illicit a shrug. However, mentioning or expressing like for any band they hate will earn you the ire of IMNs everywhere. Prepare to be cyberbullied by basement dwellers the world over.
