  LOL
  While parent is wildly offtopic, it's these sophomoric bits that give /. its special sense of community.
  Does anyone know what happened to the Sporks?

  Not that wildly offtopic.
  
  He is paraphrasing a song by Carly Simon.
  
  HP is headed by Carly Firorina (sp?).
  
  So, you see, he wasn't that far off-topic.
GNAA is Permanently Banned by Anonymous Coward · 2003-09-15 03:38 · Score: -1, Offtopic

The GNAA posts, and the IPs of the open proxies used by these crapflooders have been permanently banned from posting here. Should there be more crapflooding, then we will not hesitate to add more IPs to the list of bans.

Have a nice day.

Well, thats rather blatant... by Anonymous Coward · 2003-09-15 03:40 · Score: -1, Offtopic

I know /. has one "sponsored story" each day or so and I don't really have a problem with that, the editors gotta eat somehow. But geez... You could at least TRY to make them interesting or somewhat hard to spot.

maybe I should clear my cache then... See... I would have looked into it simply because Linus worked there, other than that Transmeta's hopes have diminished over the years. Seems like it will be an Intel/AMD world at the rate both companies pump out chips. Hell at the rate of SCO articles I see here and there, SCO might sue Intel and AMD for some sock() calls or something... SCO Pentium just sounds lame...

I have no civic responsibility to ensure that I correctly transcribe some new-agey goddammned "name" "created" by some overpaid marketing idiot with a brain parasite. Plus, this way SCO can't sue my ass!
