/ World Domination, One CPU Cycle At A \
| Time |
| |
| Forget about searching for alien |
| signals or prime numbers. The real |
| distributed computing application is |
| "Domination@World", a program to |
| advocate Linux and Apache to every |
| website in the world that uses Windows |
| and IIS. |
| |
| The goal of the project is to probe |
| every IP number to determine what kind |
| of platform each Net-connected machine |
| is running. "That's a tall order... we |
| need lots of computers running our |
| Domination@World clients to help probe |
| every nook and cranny of the Net," |
| explained Mr. Zell Litt, the project |
| head. |
| |
| After the probing is complete, the |
| second phase calls for the data to be |
| cross-referenced with the InterNIC |
| whois database. "This way we'll have |
| the names, addresses, and phone numbers |
| for every Windows-using system |
| administrator on the planet," Zell |
| gloated. "That's when the fun begins." |
| |
| The "fun" part involves LART (Linux |
| Advocacy & Re-education Training), a |
| plan for extreme advocacy. As part of |
| LART, each Linux User Group will |
| receive a list of the Windows-using |
| weenies in their region. The LUG will |
| then be able to employ various advocacy |
| techniques, ranging from a soft-sell |
| approach (sending the target a free |
| Linux CD in the mail) all the way to |
| "LARTcon 5" (cracking into their system |
\ and forcibly installing Linux). /
