A crippling Linux flaw was found today by Hugh Jidiot, an independent security consultant. Jidiot discovered that 100% of today's Linux servers are powered by electricity, a deadly force known to kill many people each year.

"This is absolutely frightening," said Jidiot when contacted for comment. "I recommend that *ALL* affected IT departments act with the greatest possible haste and throw away their Linux servers *NOW* before it's too late!"

When contacted for comment, Gartner analysts and ZD Net journalists had this to say:

"We've been monitoring this alarming trend for some time now, but it has become increasingly prevalent as of late. We strongly urge all users of Linux servers to discontinue using these dangerous devices."

Industry's reaction to the news has been mainly one of pure shock that such a situation would have been allowed to persist for so long.

"Wow," said Rand Omdrone of NAIVETE Inc., "who knew that our server room was such a seething cauldron of potential death and dismemberment? Rather scary when you think of it."

Others were less sanguine upon hearing the news. Art Lessdunce of No Neural Activity Ltd. had this to say "I've taken the matter to our board and we are strongly considering legal action against Dell, Red Hat, our IT contractor and the package company that delivered our servers. At no point did they state that such potentially lethal devices were going to be in close proximity to our workforce."

There has as yet been no word from Linus Torvalds or other Linux developers as to when this extremely dangerous flaw will be fixed.
