Competitors Cry Foul At Windows XP, 2K Service Packs
caudron writes "According to an article at ZDNet, a trade group partly funded, not surprisingly, by Microsoft's competitors is claiming that WinXP SP1 and Win2k SP3 contain 6 separate violations of both the letter and spirit of the proposed DOJ Settlement. Equally unsurprising, Microsoft disagrees with them. And so the Case-That-Wouldn't-Die drags ever onward."
I'd prefer it if they were to "Cry 'Havoc'! and let slip the dogs of war"
I figured I would ignore your lame attempt at humor.
Umm... and by "ignore" did you mean "reply to"?
python -c "x='python -c %sx=%s; print x%%(chr(34),repr(x),chr(34))%s'; print x%(chr(34),repr(x),chr(34))"
So erm, weren't you upset about not being able to use three of those four CPUs in OpenBSD, being as it doesn't yet support SMP, except in an under-development CVS branch?
Microsoft cannot be held accountable for violating rules that don't yet exist.
Trade group: Would you please tell Microsoft to stop?
Judges: We can't do it, man! That's discipline! That's like tellin' Gene Krupa not to go boom boom bam bam bam, boom boom bam bam bam, boom boom boom bam ba ba ba ba, da boo boo tsssssssss ! We don't believe in rules 'cuz, like, we gave them up when we started livin' like freaky beatniks! We tried nothin' and we're all outta ideas.
I realize you were trying to be funny, but since this is not funny by any stretch of the imagination, I figured I would ignore your lame attempt at humor.
:)
You figured you would ignore their lame attempt at humor? Well, your attempt failed. You replied to their lame attempt at humor. Don't worry, it happens to a lot of us. Just remember, if at first you don't succeed, try, try again!

Does it come with a flying pig?
And a pony. I'd really like a pony.
deus does not exist but if he does
But THIS being hard to use? A fucking 10 year old could use it.
Usually, the ten-year-olds are the only ones in the family who can use it.
McDonalds' employee: Welcome to McDonalds, may I take your order you please?
Bill Gates: A big mac please.
McDonalds' employee: A big mac, a coke. $2.99.
Bill Gates: Sorry, I ordered just a big mac.
McDonalds' employee: The coke is part of the meal.
Bill Gates: I don't want the coke, just the Big Mac please.
McDonalds' employee: The coke is free and is part of the meal.
Bill Gates: Until recently the Big Mac was priced at $1.99?
McDonalds' employee: But now the Big Mac has new features. It is bundled with a coke.
Bill Gates: But I already have something to drink so I don't want the coke.
McDonalds' employee: Then you won't get a Big Mac.
Bill Gates: I will take just the Big Mac and pay $1.99, ok?
McDonalds' employee: You can't separate the parts of the meal. They are seamlessly integrated and it would destroy the Big Mac if we seperated them.
You mixed up your facist dictators... An honest mistake. You should have previewed first!
