Dell Extends Gateway Amnesty

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the heh dept.

As a person who's owned no less then four GW machines, two Dells, and now have two VA, one DIYS, and one IBM Thinkpad, I found the SatireWire about the Dell-Gateway Amensty pretty amusing.

    Still, ocassionally the heart does cry for humor. In a world of ever doubtful stocks, burdened IT workers, and just general scariness of it all ;)... it is nice to just laugh at something every once in a while.

    And after all, a little break from the way of things is sometimes what we need to regain our focus.

    Personally, I think it's an even more brilliant example of just how arbitrary and random the Slashdot posting guidelines are. Sure, it's funny, but what does this have to do with anything? I guess I'll have to start posting Satirewire, BBSpot, and Onion links every freaking week.

    I hate to say it, but I'm starting to tire of this irrelevancy. Come on, Slashdot...be interesting again!

    ..the "Linux is a cancer" comment that Ballmer made yesterday...oh wail, that wasn't satire...

    Exactly!

    if you substituted all the terms so that it was MS giving amnesty to users of Linux, the MS freaks would complain that it was too mean spirited. and it would be just a bit chilling, since it would expose the inherent evil in the action a little too forcefully.

    Flipping it around so that Linux users would be giving amnesty to MS users would be funnier as a satire.

    You realize that with Linux would force MS to innovate. This is an admission that MS has not innovated in the past. a tragic slip of the tongue that reveals the truth
