I don't wanna be open source! I don't think anyone would patch me if a security hole was found... I don't need script kids gaining root on me and makeing me a zombie...

Tricorder by OECD · 2003-10-07 10:29 · Score: 4, Funny

I love it when the first paragraph of a serious article contains the sentence, While there is no Star Trek "Tricorder" in sight, the physical infrastructure of molecular biology is becoming more sophisticated and less expensive every day.
It reminds me of some friends of mine who were constantly challenging each other to slip odd words or phrases into their serious work.
"Hey Carlson, I bet you can't work "Tricorder" into your next paper!"
