Alec Muzzy writes: "Did you know that Microsoft Research, the first research laboratory started by a software company, just turned 10 years old? Their website is currently featuring some highlights of their research in the past 10 years and how it is applying to the new products Microsoft is making today - for instance their work in Real-Time Fur will be used in some XBox games, and Speech Recognition may be in future Pocket PC's. Reading these pages gives you a real insight into what new technologies Microsoft is working on."

Hey waite a second. Whenever I think of Microsoft; I think of Janet Reno naked, in a cold shower, spanking Bill Gates on the ass with a spatula. Let us purify our minds with this nice open ftp pr0n directory.

Someone plz thank me for posting this pr0n!

Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen (right, like women read Slashdot), you will notice that halik did NOT deny eating shit.
Let me say that again for those of you who are of short attention span:
Halik eats shit, and does not deny this fact.
Oh, and I'm still waiting for your "good one". I only assume you were waiting for me to point out that you are a shit eater.

This has been answered already by someone in a position to know:
http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=21192&cid=22 45 318

Switching codebases unfortunately led to some glitches. Censorship is the deliberate removal or blocking of information.

And in response to the silly "Slashdot as Censorware" silliness, note the Big Lie technique of posting this harangue multiple times, when the problem is already known, acknowledged and being worked on. How nice.

Anyhow.

And you really got me back with that 3rd grade comeback.
I should be ashamed.
Also, I guarantee that I'm twice your age, if not more. Before you think that you're superior, try and learn something, ok? Try getting an MCSE, I hear they're looking for morons who can't tell their ass from a hole in the ground.

Now give Daddy his computer back and go jack off into your mother's bra you stole from her once, ok?
Oh, shit, jacking off would mean being old enough to get erections. Sorry.
