Programmer Implements Linux As ActiveX Applet
Fake News written by James Baughn on September 12, 2005
RED DEER, ALBERTA -- In what could be the greatest
programming achievement since the invention of curly braces,
James Hacker has successfully shoehorned a bare-bones Linux
distribution into an ActiveX applet running under Internet
Explorer and Windows XP.
The system, code-named NAPWOT (Not A Pointless Waste Of
Time), includes the Linux kernel, critical system programs,
assorted userspace applications, and even a hacked version
of the X Window System to provide a GUI-within-a-GUI.
