Gaim Speaks Out on MSN Ban
joejg writes "As FootNotes is reporting, the developers at Gaim have responded to the ban Microsoft is placing upon users of third-party clients accessing the MSN protocol. It appears that starting October 15th I will not be able to talk to my MSN friend in South Korea." Gaim's site is more optimistic, saying they may still be able to connect, only without a license to do so.

New York, NY - GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America) today announced acquisition of The SCO Group for $26.9 million in stock and $40 million in gay niggers.
GNAA today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the intellectual property and technology assets of The SCO Group, a leading provider of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt, based in Lindon, Utah. GNAA's acquisition of SCO technology will help GNAA sign up more members worldwide. In addition to developing new solutions, GNAA will use SCO engineering expertise and technology to enhance the GNAA member services.
"I'd love to see these GNAA types slowly consumed by millions of swarming microbes and converted into harmless and useful biochemicals." said an anonymous slashdot poster, blinded by the GNAA success in achieving first post on a popular geek news website, slashdot.org.
"This GNAA shit is getting out of hand. Slashdot needs troll filters. Or better yet a crap flood mod that I can exclude from my browsing. Seriously, a good troll is art, what you dumb fucks are doing is just plain stupid." said spacecowboy420.
macewan, on linuxquestions said "Thanks for that link to the SCO quotes page. My guess is that they want to be bought out. Hrm, think they want GNAA to buy them??"
After careful consideration and debate, GNAA board of directors agreed to purchase 6,426,600 preferred shares and 113,102 common shares (the equivalent of 150,803 ADSs) of SCO, for an aggregate consideration of approximately US$26.9 million and approximately $40 million for gay niggers that were working in Lindon, Utah offices of The SCO Group.
If all goes well, the final decision is to be expected shortly, followed by transfer of most SCO niggers from their Lindon, UT offices to the GNAA Headquarters in New York.

About S
I'm trying to upgrade the hard drive on my laptop but having no luck. I'm trying to get a disk image of my existing HDD (a la Norton Ghost or something) so that I don't have to reinstall all my crap - but my laptop has neither a floppy drive or a cdrom (Thinkpad X31). Also, it dual boots Linux and Windows XP. Before I give up and/or go bug the rest of my geeky friends, I thought it might be worthwhile (at least, alleviate my boredom) to ask on CL.
So, if you help me, I'll cover dinner (not Chez Panisse but not Bongo Burger - somewhere nice, I'm willing to let you pick). As a bonus, if interested, we could catch a netflix (or even better, anime!) on my projector/400watt DD sound system.
If you managed to read through the above two paragraphs and don't think you've got the skills, but aren't disgusted, feel free to drop me an email anyway!
Very fair moderation - this should be metamoderated. STOP MODERATING BASED ON OPINION. This post is ontopic - even if you don't agree with it.
Are you trying to test me, javabsp? A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.
Sweat? Pretty? Gross!
In Soviet Russia, MSN Bans unofficial you!
Isn't October 15th the same day that SCO jacks up the commercial SCO-IP for Linux liscense price from $699 to $1399? If it's not the same day, I know it's pretty damn close.
I thought that in South Korea, there was Starcraft, nothing else.
Sorry, I remember reading some amusing articles about the level of popularity that game had in SK a couple of years ago... is it still big over there?
[SIG] It's like putting a moose in the blender -- a recipe for disaster!
Starcraft? one out of two kids are playing this game daily. And there are even live contests on the game TV channel... :)
