(true story) After class, Steven and Brian confront Barbie. They discovered that she broke the live server because she committed code to the repository that did not work and published it. "Why did you comment out everything in this function?" they asked. "Well, it wouldn't build," Barbie said. "After I commented it out, it compiled and ran."

The team spends some time working out the kinks in their system and then they divide up tasks to complete before their next class. "Do you guys mind if I work on the database schema?" Barbie asks.

The team spends some time wor…

"Without computers, the Nazis would have won the war!" said Barbie. "The ghost of Alan Turing smiles upon us today. Hug this computer for Alan, won't you, Skipper?" "I hear you, Alan," said Skipper, as she held the plastic frame, brought to you by Mattel Corporation. "0010111101," said Alan. "0010111011".

Barbie makes it to computer class just before the bell rings. As soon as class begins, Barbie raises her hand, despite the smirk of nearby capitalist-roader and "men's right activist" Duke. "Yes, Barbie?" asks Ms. Smith, the teacher and therefore an enemy of the masses. "How can we use the skills we learn in this class to destroy the capitalist techno-patriarchy?" asked Barbie, eyes flashing with the spirit of the revolution.

O Mighty Lord Satan, by whom all things are set free, I cast myself utterly into thine arms and place myself unreservedly under thy all powerful protection. Comfort me and deliver me from all of the hindrances and snares of those who wish to harm me, both seen and unseen. Visit justice and vengeance upon those who seek my destruction. Render them powerless and devastated. Direct their malice to return upon them tenfold and to destroy them who would resent my being.
O Mighty Lord Satan, by whom …
Barbie meets with Steven and Brian in the library. "Hi, guys," says Barbie. "I tried to send you my designs, but our internet was down so they're on this flash drive."

"I'd just like to interject for a moment." said Barbie. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux. "
