What if Microsoft went Open Source?
An anonymous reader writes "This article on newsforge takes a speculative look at what would have to happen if Microsoft decided to jump on the Open Source bandwagon (using Microsoft Project as the source of speculation). Amusing to think about, unlikely to happen."
...is one of the US's biggest ally in this. Bulgaria has lost every war in the last 100 years.
Things aren't looking good!
The guilty undertaker sighs,
The lonesome organ grinder cries,
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you.
The cracked bells and washed-out horns
Blow into my face with scorn,
But it's not that way,
I wasn't born to lose you.
I want you, I want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, I want you.
The drunken politician leaps
Upon the street where mothers weep
And the saviors who are fast asleep,
They wait for you.
And I wait for them to interrupt
Me drinkin' from my broken cup
And ask me to
Open up the gate for you.
I want you, I want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, I want you.
Now all my fathers, they've gone down
True love they've been without it.
But all their daughters put me down
'Cause I don't think about it.
Well, I return to the Queen of Spades
And talk with my chambermaid.
She knows that I'm not afraid
To look at her.
She is good to me
And there's nothing she doesn't see.
She knows where I'd like to be
But it doesn't matter.
I want you, I want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, I want you.
Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit,
He spoke to me, I took his flute.
No, I wasn't very cute to him,
Was I?
But I did it, though, because he lied
Because he took you for a ride
And because time was on his side
And because I . . .
I want you, I want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, I want you.
IT IS TEH LOLS!!!1!!
The US won't lose the war with Iraq, but they (at least the current Administration) is sure losing the trust of a lot of people in the world, and other countries will probably be more wary about dealing with the US next time (it's like when you hear what Microsoft does to its "partner companies", you'd be wary about jumping in when they offer you some money as a "partner"), and as a result these countries might trade with other rich countries instead.
And I wonder if Bush had calculated what Turkey has done now, what might end up destabilizing the region as all war critis have feared.
What time is it/will be over there? Check with my iPhone app!
War what war? Invasion yes, war no. War is a legal process, this invasion is illegal.
What if the U.S. loses? I happen to have a photo: G. W. Bush if the U.S. loses.
lmao..this is kinda sickly-humorous..lol..think nostradamus(not that i beleive it, just heard the ideas) - suppose to be something like 2000-2020 that ww3 breaks out..didn't ww1 start because of a few assasinations in the mid-east..lol..and nostradamus's ideas had some combination of armageddon and fire, so think nukes..lol..maybe greenwich england or wherevr he was living at the time gets nuked..lmao..sry..sick twisted stuff comes out of my head after 63 hours awake coding:)
