Can You Raed Tihs?

An aoynmnuos raeedr sumbtis: "An interesting tidbit from Bisso's blog site: Scrambled words are legible as long as first and last letters are in place. Word of mouth has spread to other blogs, and articles as well. From the languagehat site: 'Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht frist and lsat ltteer is at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by it slef but the wrod as a wlohe. ceehiro.' Jamie Zawinski has also written a perl script to convert normal text into text where letters excluding the first and last are scrambled."

OT: SCOX admits that "we're" a threat in Q10

[Anonymous Coward]

These are from their 2003-09-15 Q10 filing

"We are informed that participants in the Linux industry have attempted to influence participants in the markets in which we sell our products to reduce or eliminate the amount of our products and services that they purchase. They have been somewhat successful in those efforts and will likely continue." -- Page 35

And oh... this was brought to you by Sun Microsystems and Microsoft:

"During the three months ended July 31, 2003, Microsoft Corporation (?Microsoft?) accounted for approximately 25 percent of total revenue and Sun Microsystems, Inc. (?Sun?) accounted for approximately 12 percent of total revenue. During the nine months ended July 31, 2003, Microsoft accounted for approximately 16 percent of total revenue and Sun accounted for approximately 12 percent, of total revenue. There were no outstanding receivables from these two customers as of July 31, 2003. During the three and nine months ended July 31, 2002, the Company did not have any customers that accounted for more than 10 percent of total revenue." -- Page 19

PS. Sun got a little gift for their money:

"In connection with the payment of $2,500,000 to us by Sun during the quarter ended July 31, 2003, we granted a warrant to Sun to purchase up to 12,500 shares of our common stock, for a period of five years, at a price of $1.83 per share. This warrant was valued at $150,000 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and reduced our licensing revenue for the quarter ended July 31, 2003 by that amount." -- Page 22

I was browsing over at my favorite long-haired homosexual men forums and found a fellow unix geek looking for love.

I feel your pain, brother!

I've had at least four people email it to me over the last day or so, and it's already grating more than the "all your base.." fluff.

[Anonymous Coward]

actually they are just called Blackstreet, not Blackstreet Boys, and I believe they were around before the Backdoor Boys

Re:Yes, a cat's got my tongue, OK?

[sinserve]

Blackstreet debut album released on the summer of 1994 album.

Backstreet Boys released their debut album in 1996

So yes, the AC sibling below is correct, no diggity no doubt.
