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.

I want to keep a journal, but I want it on my computer, I'd prefer if it's not web driven and I want it to be robust and quite stable, able to backup, encrypt and compress, and any other features. Anyone know something like this?
MT pro is just around the corner, and I am so happy with 2.64, I am just dying to see the pro version:

Ok...that sux...they're releasing software....not bottles of Evan Williams. Wake me up when they release something good...preferably with a higher alcohol content than my blood right now.

It is a bilingual project, you use a tcl based client on windows or *nix and it will upload/rebuild your online system via ftp as needed. Very simple, could use a little work, but I just found it and got to like it.
>are there not better things to do than take the language too seriously?
There are definitely better things to do than take the language (or anything else) too seriously...by definition. The question is whether or not insisting on reasonable spelling and grammar constitutes taking the language too seriously, or merely seriously enough.
For most people who care about such things (and I'll admit without shame that I'm one of them, as I also admit that I'm not entirely without faults in the spelling and grammar department myself), they're simply a very useful shorthand...noticeably poor spelling and/or grammar are an instant tip-off that the person whose work you're reading either is an imbecile or hasn't taken the time to do even minimal checking of their own work. In online media especially, this is an important thing, because other tip-offs about the same problems often aren't available.
Perhaps you don't think that's an important enough thing to pay attention to. If so, pardon us for disagreeing with you.

we extend our heartfelt regards to the victims of cowardly greed/fear based aggression everywhere.
that old tune title (hope we don't get 'busted' for using it) "make the world go away", takes on new/varied meaning in these times.
the prevalent notion that 'everything will be taken care of' without yOUR knowledge/participation is insidiously misleading.
in our estimation, the biggest 'threat' against US (aside from continuing to fire bullinedly into the 'crowd', whilst demanding applause), would be a failure to recognize our 'role' in the problems. we're victims for sure, but whoare ALL the perpetrators (see also: corepirate nazi puppets), gets lost in the ?pr? ?firm? generated propaganda spew.
consult with/trust in yOUR creator. seek others of non-aggressive behaviours/intentions. that's the spirit.
the lights ARE coming up now. pay attention (to yOUR heart, for example). that could lead to new ways (see also: newclear power plan) of thinking about/dealing with, the needs/rights of others EVERYWHERE on the planet.
having the attention span of a gnat, & similar ambitions, might be ok if you are just planning to be a consumer/type one liners.
take care of each other, you're all we've got. we're here for you. get ready to see the light.
