LaserMonks Offer Prayer, Printer Cartridges
Minnesotan writes "According to a Twincities.com article: If you need discounted inkjet- or laser-printer cartridges, Wisconsin's LaserMonks say they'll give you a doozy of a deal while you 'support prayer for the world'. The Cistercian priests - yes, they're actual Catholic monks - oversee a novel e-commerce enterprise out of their rural abbey. Proceeds go to maintain the monastery and finance charitable works around the world."
GNAA / Google confirms: Linux is dying.
By GNAA Staff
Here you have it: it's official; Google confirms: Desktop Linux is dying.
Now, you might be thinking this is just another cut & paste troll based on the typical *BSD is dying bullshit.
It isn't.
As you might have know, your favorite search engine, Google, has been running a little statistics service, called "Zeitgeist".
Since about a year ago, they started providing statistics of the operating systems used to access their search engine worldwide.
I will let the numbers speak for themselves:
Operating Systems Accessing Google in January 2002
Operating Systems Accessing Google in March 2002
Operating Systems Accessing Google in April 2002
Operating Systems Accessing Google in May 2002
Operating Systems Accessing Google in June 2002
Operating Systems Accessing Google in July 2002
Operating Systems Accessing Google in August 2002
Operating Systems Accessing Google in September 2002
Operating Systems Accessing Google in November 2002
Operating Systems Accessing Google in December 2002
Operating Systems Accessing Google in January 2003
Operating Systems Accessing Google in February 2003

If you've looked at even a few of these links, you don't need to be a Kreskin to predict Desktop Linux's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Desktop Linux faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Linux on Desktop because Linux is dying. Things are looking very bad for Linux on Desktop. As many of us are already aware, Linux on Desktop continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.
According to Google Zeitgeist, there are about 80% of Internet Explorer 6 users. The only platform supporting Internet Explorer 6 is, of course, Microsoft Windows. These statistics are consistent with the earlier presented graphs of the operating systems used to access Google, with the Windows family consistently taking the top 3 ranks. Out of remaining 20%, the split is even between MSIE 5.5, MSIE 5.0, both Windows-only browsers. Netscape 5.x
I wish there was a way for me, as a Christian, as a human being, to sit down with some of you and have a pleasant, civil discussion without bitterness or sarcasm. I don't force people to believe what I believe. I don't mock others with different beliefs. I hope I can find the words to explain myself, as my life goes on. I hope I can help people to see.
If you run rm -Rf /opt/gnome and apt-get kde, we will give you a Knoppix disk! KDE forever
MooKore, the KDE using Kow!
Before we start the anti-christian trolling, here's a few facts:
1. The bible is not a fairy tale. It is put together as a collection of independant first hand accounts, not mythology.
2. This is just another recycle-for-charity program.
3. At least half of all Americans are Christian.
4. Many (most) important scientific discoveries throughout history have been made by Christians (Wright brothers...)
5. Science has not explained many fundamental characteristics of the universe... and evolution doesn't fully explain how complex life developed. Science doesn't (yet) provide all the answers.
Bottom line: Christians aren't necessarily a colt believing a fairy tale.

And God sayeth unto the people:
"You know, I have one simple request - and that is, to have monks with frikkin' laser beams attached to their heads!"
Amen.
I can't believe it.... he wasnt kidding
I found lots of interracial stuff but nothing dirty about that
Weeeell... that sounds good at first. Remember though that most people that follow that, the traditional and the new age alike, try to avoid that due to the law of threes: a basic summary being whatever you do is returned threefold to you. In other words, said witchdoctor would have three times the curse he put on SCO thrown right back at him, and he knows that. Take into account the fact that a witchdoctor who refills printer cartriges probably reads slashdot and groklaw, and knows SCO doesn't really have much to show in the way of evidence (or SCO wouldn't need to ask IBM for everything they've contributed so they can then look for breaches of IP) and said witchdoctor would be stupid to do this. They'd just bring a load of negative energy straight down on them to accomplish something that the army of IBM lawyers seems to be doing well enough on their own.
----- I want my LART.
Very few people are "uncircumcized", which is a difficult bit of plastic surgery The word is "intact".
/. poll?
Yes, my mistake with the terminology.
I believe your assertion that "very few" people are circumcized may apply only to the US. Many people outside the US are "intact". There is no medical reason why the procedure is performed - anyone who bathes on a regular or even semi-regular basis has nothing to worry about in the genital hygene dept.
Perhaps this is a new
- Yes, I've been cut.
- No, I'm all there.
- I'm female you jackass.
- I have no genitals you insensitive clod!.

Ok maybe not.
I'd rather be a conservative nutjob than a liberal with no nuts and no job.
Idiot? Only idiots use "your" when they mean "you're".
