I've read better troll posts that had me LOL, even ROFLMAO. That article wasn't even good for a small chuckle.
so long suckers!!
2009. After years of living under the heel of his domineering wife, and being deprived of "company" of his life-long friend, Jeff "Homos" Bates, CmdrTaco commits suicide. Another unwashed geek mob gathers and tears Kathleen Fent to shreds. Geeks discover Ms. Fent was indeed a woman, but don't exactly know what that means. Driven by their sexually-repressed rage, they subsequently invade Redmond again and lynch the current CEO of Microsoft, Miguel de Icaza.
2009. Richard Stallman mysteriously murdered. Conspiracy theories run rampant, most involving Microsoft in some way. Invasions of Redmond campus by hordes of geeks become commonplace.
2010. Stallman murder solved when Eric S. Raymond confesses. Raymond blamed the collapse of VA Research^W Linux^W Software^W Microsoft on Stallman's dogmatic insistence on prefixing every open-source project with "GNU". Raymond is subsequently committed to an insane asylum, again giving the horde of geeks an excuse to raze Redmond.
2010. An ex-hacker reports witnessing CmdrTaco at a gas station in Tennessee. The nearly-defunct Linux movement is rekindled as CmdrTaco sightings become common.
2011. Microsoft campus burnt to the ground by screaming, unwashed geek mob after Microsoft is blamed when a Linuxhacker in Cambridge, Massachusetts spills his coffee on his pants. Microsoft undaunted as their plans to buy out the Federal Government come to fruition. Washington, D.C. renamed Microsoft Capitol(TM) 2010.
You've been here a while not to notice that Michael always puts his two cents in on every article. It is an inferiority complex thing. You'll soon notice that your 5 post will quickly be modded down by him (as will this one of course).
Unless, of course, you were referring to the ancient grain...
Don't read this!
The TCA story was a calculated research article supposedly aimed at accurately finding out the percentage of geeks understanding humour, while in actuality it was a veiled (burqa clad) method to bring some geeks nearer to the aims and objects of TIA, while sorting out the rest in several groups: terrorists, provocateurs, anti-something lunatics, etc.
t nG =Google+Glossary+Search
The method is said to be based on monitoring who laughs, for how long and on which sentences.
The feedback technology used to compile the results is said to be working on SELinux.
