Idiot of the day.

That guy is not very bright.
Jerry Taylor, mayor of the city of Tuttle, OK, almost had a heart attack when he saw the CentOS logo on his town’s website.
Now, CentOS is a Linux distro. If the Apache web server is misconfigured, you will see the Apache logo alongside the CentOS logo.
It is OK (no pun intended) not to know that. Not everybody is computer litterate. And it’s still acceptable to make a mistake once.
Buf Jerry did much better than that. He is not computer litterate. He claims to be computer litterate with “22 years of experience”. And he decided that CentOS was “hacking” the city’s web server. A long and angry email exchange between him and CentOS only came to a resolution after a whole day, with Jerry alone accounting for the ‘angry’ part.

It’s quite an amazing story, really. Take a look.
