The trolls don't believe that's possible. They look at their task
manager, see the Idle process sitting at 99%, but the system is still
dragging like a cruise ship through a narrow, shallow river. They think
everything runs like that. They can't get linux running on their own,
despite it being so simple that a 3-year-old can do it now, and suspect
they're being fed lies since they can't try it to see for themselves.
Besides, the e-i-e-i-o troll is just a shit-stirrer. Scoring s/h/it at
-9999 is too good, but things can't get any lower than that.
