All schools In Denmark switching to Linux

Someone who can read Danish writes "According to this story (in Danish) Denmark has taken the first steps to start using Linux and Staroffice in all schools (1.1 million students). Sun has agreed to provide Staroffice for free, or on a CD-ROM for 10 Danish crowns ($1.5)."

10 Danish Crowns?!!

That's absurd! There aren't even that many kings in Denmark!

Rotten

Time for Gates to say "there's something rotten in Denmark" and get on the plane.

Ballmer: [Reading] In the most high and palmy United States,
A little ere the mightiest Apple fell,
No PC stood OSless, and the servers all
Did crash and gibber in the server rooms.
And even the like precurse of fierce events,
As harbingers preceding still the fates
2000 and XP together demonstrate
Unto our climature and countrymen.
[Handing script to Marcellus] Slashdot is desperate with imagination.

Gates: Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

Ballmer: Heaven will direct it.

Gates: Nay, let's buy it out.

Ballmer: My lord, my lord!

Gates: Illo, ho, ho, my lord!

LINUS ENTERS

Linus: Hillo, ho, ho, boy! Come, bird, come.

Gates: How is't, my noble lord?

Ballmer: What news, my lord?

Linus: O, wonderful!

Ballmer: Good my lord, tell it.

Linus: No, you will embrace and extend it.

Ballmer: Not I, my lord, by heaven!

Gates: Nor I, my lord.

Linus: How say you then? Would Linux give men source code?
But you'll be secret?

Both: Ay, by heaven, my lord.

Linus: There's neer a student dwelling in all Denmark
But he runs StarOffice.

Ballmer: There needs no ghost, my lord, come from the grave
To tell us this.

Linus: Why, right! You are in the right!
And so, without more circumstance at all,
I hold it fit that we shake hands and part;
You, as your business and desires shall point you;
As every man has business and desire.
And for my own poor part, look you, I'll go code.

This just in. Denmark part of Axis of Evil

In a stunning speech a few hours ago, President George Bush declared Denmark a "den of malcontents and terrorists". And announcing to the UN in an emergency security session the need to: "bomb the hell out of them" for obvious stockpiling weapons of mass destruction and denying their people American software, goods and services.

Denmark, whose main exports include those silly little wooden shoes and tulips, was unavailable for comment.

In other news, Microsoft led a resounding stock rally.

Re:anyone here speak danish

[Jucius Maximus]

"I can only speak COBOL, and that badly. I don't even know what danish is. Is it like VB?"

DANISH is like an advanced version PSTRY but you get a much better tase of it you compile it on APPLE or some other similarly fruity platform. It is best learned in the morning with a healthy side of JAVA.

Stunning Al Quaida - Lego - Denmark link

[solferino]

In a full press release made available shortly after President Bush's recent speech attacking Denmark, the Administration outlined suspicions linking the Lego Corporation of Denmark to Al Quaida and the attack on the World Trade Centre.

Apparently, the attack was planned using a 43,000 lego brick scale model of the two towers. The Administration suspects direct involvement by Lego Corporation's scaled modelling experts and has now declared Lego products a Weapon of Mass (Modelling) Destruction. The Administration is now compiling a list of all people who have made substantial Lego purchases in the last few week and will be immediately calling them in for questioning and possible detention over the next few days.
