I swear before almighty God that I hope we kill tens of thousands of those raghead bastards. I only pray that napalm and air-fuel bombs are used so that they burn alive. If there is some collateral damage, so be it. I say kill them all and let God sort it out.
NUKE THE RAGHEADS!

But Microsoft isn't going to get anywhere with Sun. Their terms are way to radical... "Get rid of AOL, Netscape, and Solaris" We don't have to worry, it's NOT going to happen. Microsoft is a terrible ally.

Mod Up The Parent, Its Not Flamebait by Anonymous Coward · 2001-09-26 07:48 · Score: -1, Offtopic

Someone needs to mod up the parent of this thread, because the title plus the only line of the post:

"you have no privacy... get over it!"

make up an actual quote from Scott McNealy, who is either the President or CEO of Sun (I don't recall his actual title).

Now Sun wants us to give them our private information...

Not likely, if you really think about it.
