Forbes Ventures Bold Predictions For IT, Linux
LinuxThis writes "Everyone's favorite, Daniel Lyons and other Forbes journalists have made some bold predictions about IT in 2004. Interesting quotes include 'Microsoft warms up to open source, and tries to make a buck off it', and the best, from our main man Daniel Lyons himself: 'The end of 'free'.

Well it is quiet apparent that OSDN has disgraced itself, first by selling subscriptions to /. - but now having realised that this money making venture has not been sucessful, they are now prying on our weaknesses by submitting us to endless hours of personal/match making ads! I for one and i'm sure many others of you out there think this is the low of the low! Time to jump ship to www.kuroshin.org
how am i supposed to poke fun at you little pussies if you leave the channel invite only? :)

I've got the worst hangover ever. I've puked at least four times already. The last two were dry heaves. It fucking hurts!
I also groped my best friend's girlfriend last night. Goddammit...
Yeah, if you like fat, sweaty and psychotic lunix girls who threaten to poke their eyes out because they think you're cheating on them.
If you weren't a virgin, you'd know that every pussy feels that same.
But SUN machines look cool. I especially like the mousepads that come with them. Really, Sun makes the best mousepads I've ever used, no questions asked.
And besides: If you grok Sun, the lesser Linux geeks in the company will PhEar you.
I say these on-and-off terror alerts are just a way how the neocons keep control over the public and politicians who might otherwise resist their agenda.
Once you have a scared public, you can strip them of every civil right and they'll thank you for it.
I had an excellent New Year. Beer, good food and sweet singaporean pussy.
Her cunt smells like a tuna salad sandwich which you bought from 7-11, and then forgot in your car for two weeks.
