IBM To Repair Smoking Monitors

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the well-isn't-that-nice-of-them dept.

Rio writes "A local6.com story says IBM is recalling to repair 56,000 G51 and G51t computer monitors because the circuit board can overheat and smoke, posing a fire hazard. IBM has received several reports of monitors overheating and smoking, including one report of minor property damage, according to the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Comission." And I thought all that smoke was just my mobo overheating.

    A Chinese man walks into a bar and on seeing the bar man is black shouts: "Gimme a jigger Nigger".

    The black man tells him how that wasn`t a nice thing to say, and how would he like the same treatment. The Chinese man explains he wouldn`t give a shit, so the black man says okay, you get behind the bar, and we`ll try it again. So the Chinese man gets behind the bar and the black guy goes outside.

    After a few seconds the black man comes in and says, "Gimme a drink Chink".

    The Chinese man stares at him and says "Fuck off, we don`t serve niggers".
