XBox Delayed
rumrum writes: "From CNet: 'The company says it will delay the launch of its video game console by one week to Nov. 15 but declines to clarify exactly how many units it will have available at launch.'" AP has a slightly more informative article which points to production problems, and the LA Times has a story noting that production hasn't yet begun.
Thou has granted me fr1st p0st.

It's late Friday night and I am drunk.
I guess he'll have to continue using Playstation 2s to guide his missles.
...or they could blame it on the terrorist attacks.
I know...if there aren't enough XBoxes for sale they can claim they had them stored in the WTC, right?

Fuck MS! Everything they make including the XBox sucks. I just want to run linux on my playstation 2. Forget running games, I just want to be able to run linux on it. We should've expected it to be delayed and we should expect it to BSOD all the time. And damnit, can't Ashcroft investigate MS for antitrust violations in the game console sector?
Today's turd was one for the books. It was just over a foot long and was
rock hard at first, I had to squeeze real hard to get it out, but got
softer towards the end. I am not certain as to why this happened, but I
have a theory. It is a fusion of two turds. The first turd, the hard
one, was formed from the glazed cake munchkins from Duncan Doughnuts I had
in the morning. (Bread tends to bind me up)) The second turd, the soft
one, was formed from the salad and chicken that I had for lunch. Another
reason for me thinking it was two turds was the color. the first turd was
a dark brown color; the second was greenish with flecks of brown. I would
give this one a 8.5 out of 10, due to the struggle to get the turd moving
followed by the relief of the foot long monster plopping out. Another fun
fact about the turd was the changing diameter of it. The first part was
pretty big around, but the end was smaller and slowly tapered.
Please remove me from your mailing list.
Thank you.
'The company says it will delay the launch of its video game
The company? What, is there only one now? Did Microsoft take over all the others last night while we were sleeping?
You're using her as bait, Master!
You will be able to verify that it is a Microsoft Product by the blue screen that it displays periodically.
Yt another crippling bombshell hit th beleaguered *BSD community when last month IDC confirmed that *BSD accounts for less than a fraction of 1 percent of ll servers. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as further exemplified by failing dead last in th recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict *BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share. *BSD is very sick nd its long trm survival prospects are very dim. If *BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS hobbyist dabblers. *BSD continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For ll practical purposes, *BSD is dead.
*BSD is dying
oh yeah - it's not like each major release of the linux kernel wasn't YEARS late............ give us all a friggin break.
It is a penny stock now. Ha ha ha ha ha! It is well under a dollar. Dislisting will happen in just a couple of weeks. VA linux will fold soon. Bye bye SLashdot Souceforge and Linux.com bye bye andover. Open source will be destroyed! Ha ha ha ha ha!
all it is, is a computer with a fancy box
Hardly. I've had 50 karma for ages. Thinking about throwing it all away and having a -1 trolling account....
Nahhhh....

Yes, but if you read the article on Yahoo! you'll find that Microsoft threatened legal action against Sony, and they backed down from that one pretty damn quick. Sony might be big, but Microsoft is even bigger - and they're going to win this one.

Gratuitous bin Laden reference. What has X-Box got to do with that?

Did you know what that would render into in Japanese encoded text?
Dear Ignoramus:
"Toleranse" is the proper British spelling of the word. You slack-jawed yanks have absolutely butchered the Queen's English, and I refuse to acknowledge any other spelling.
Wrong, you God damned moron.
Yeah, uhhh what the fuck was the point of that.
It should read..
"If you reply to this sig you are stupid."
Would the real "atrowe" instead of Anonymous Coward come forward?
I can not believe that anyone with even a shred of intelligence would care one shit for karma points on a forum which is so *obviously* infested with imbeciles. (Yes, I'm being sarcastic.)
Therefore, I do not believe that the above post is actually from atrowe. If it is though...
If you had bothered to look, dictionary.com does indeed contain British variants of words. Look at www.dictionary.com/cgi-bin/dict.pl?term=colour for proof.
Just because you chose to use 'anse' as the suffix instead of 'ance' doesn't make you a proper Brit. It makes you a wanna-be-elite-Brit-loser who like to lord what little education they have over other people.
Membership in Mensa means you've got a nice brain. It doesn't mean you have the wisdom to use it properly. Should you actually manage to temper your intelligence with wisdom, you will indeed be a respectable force (hopefully for the better).
Please mod this post only if you think others should/n't read this. I have enough ego^H^H^Hkarma. Thanks!
Ha-haa!

- Where is my Linux for PS2? C'mon guys, i wanna MAME!
Defending IP by destroying access to it? That makes sense, RIAA/MPAA. Go to the corner until you can play nice!
I do, it sounds like you don't. Wait a minute... you're Bill himself, aren't you? Geez... the propaganda machine has you by the balls, don't it?
This is humour by attrition.
Sayeth the moderators: "I give up! I'll moderate it funny! Please stop typing!"
Mmmmm, I love confetions, they're yummy.
...and then they sent a nuclear submarine to fight the pirhanas, and then one of the piranhas swam right down the periscope and bit the guy in the eye, and he was like, "Ahh, ahh, ahh!"...and the old lady said it would happen!
I don't like this story.
