  1. Sun and Microsoft and DOJ announce exploit in JVM by spike666 · · Score: 4, Funny

    In a rare press conference featuring Sun Microsystems, Microsoft and the Department of Justice, a exploit was found regarding usage of the Java Virtual Machine under the Windows (95/98/NT/2000/XP/CE) environment. Apparently usage of said JVM is likely to increase the amount of lawsuits filed by these 2 companies, leading to a bogging down of the DOJ's case queue. the DOJ is currently recommending that you cease using your computer, pick up a pen and paper and use them instead. One Anonymous DOJ spokesman said "We've found that we can reduce our case load by 30% if all users of computers stop and just go ahead and use pens, pencils, paper and the abacus. If it was good enough for Confucius, it's good enough for America!"

    Curiously, no comment was issued by Larry Ellison, Chief Entertainment Officer, Oracle Corporation.
