- Self-righteous fossers love to hate closed source software; especially Microsoft's.
- Fossers think that paying for any software is evil; and hence, use every opportunity to convince you on that ground alone that their supposedly amateur offer is better; when in fact will eventually cost way more, once you take into account the time you would've saved using a pro tool and the steep learning curve.
- Pedant fossers usually turn away potential advocates and alienate users by extreme prickish attitude, mainly in their forums. They like to put down valid inquiries and requests as if it is the other person's fault, until they finally make them look like complete noobs.
- Fossers usually like sci-fi, d&d, cosplay, etc; have no real friends or a social life (obv virgins); and are ugly, morbidly fat/skinny and dwell in their parent's basement; like the trolls that they really are.
- In the end; fossers would like you to get by with only water, air, their shit, and the good vibes of the universe.
- Fossers are like the communists of the computer world. Ignoring the facts that in general people do not like complex, difficult to use glorified toys masquerading as apps and OSes; that they are also weak, meek, and stupid; and more so the reality that when the going gets tough, people become inherently more selfish (not altruist; ie, have to eat); and likewise their ideal software model is doomed to eventually fall apart.

Apr 27 Word of the Day
A horoscope so bad that it strikes fear into the heart of the reader, rendering them unable take action or make a decision on anything or to even leave the house. This is caused by a paralyzing fear that those actions or decisions may cause the predictions to come true.
After reading "There is a lot of uncertainty around financial transactions and investments right now, and the wrong decision could result in dire consequences" in his daily Horrorscope, Edward climbed back into bed, pulled the sheets over his head and remained there for the rest of the day.
Edward only had enough gas in his car to get to the gas station but was not sure if he had enough money in his account to pay for gas. His cell phone service had been cut off because his payments were in arrears, and since the only way he could be sure he had enough money (to pay for gas) would be to call the bank, he felt it best to hide in bed and hope his horoscope for tomorrow was more positive.
