This at a time when Dell is offering Ubuntu pre-installed on some of their machines. Not good. Off topic but here are some safety rules burnt into my head
- Never point your weapon at anything you’re not willing to destroy
- Be aware of your target and what is beyond it
- Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target
- Always treat your weapon as if it were loaded
