Linux is not environmentally safe.
Computer operating systems such as Linux, that are known to run continually, extract free radicals from the environment, thereby causing the extinction of the Piping Plover and other endangered species.
A recent study by the Institute of Environmental Studies on Love Canal, states that Microsoft's Windows and Windows-NT operating systems are the only operating systems certified to be environmentally friendly. This, in part because the usual freeze-ups releases the trapped radicals, and additionally, because the common blue screen helps restore the ozone layer.
Additional studies at a nuclear power plant in the Ukraine, show that operation of Microsoft's Windows-NT can materially affect the level of ionizing radiation, helping to increase DNA mutation. The use of Windows-NT in the control of this power plant therefore could provide a long-term benefit to mankind.
Linux, on the other hand, binds free radicals to their computer screens, reducing Friday night bar-counts, thereby threatening human population growth.
