Netcraft Jokes About SCO's Virus Fears
Elektroschock writes: "Through the media SCO Group sent the message that a virus writer that targets its website would be a Linux enthusiast. Netcraft has its own funny remarks in a dogfood article." Some of you might get a cackle out of the third solution.
FUCK YOU ASSHOLE ! ! !
But the raven, sitting lonely on that placid bust, spoke only
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did
outpour.
Nothing further then he uttered; not a feather then he
fluttered;
Till I scarcely more than muttered,"Other friends have
flown before;
On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown
before."
Then the bird said, "Batman touched my junk liberally"
THE INVISIBLE KILLER: Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths are caused by inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possible a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. For those who have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain death.
DIHYDROGEN MONOXIDE:
CONTAMINATION IS REACHING EPIDEMIC PROPORTIONS!
Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found in almost every stream, lake and reservoir in America today. But the pollution is global, and the contaminant has even been found in Antarctic ice. In the midwest alone DHMO has caused millions of dollars in property damage.
DESPITE THE DANGER, DIHYDROGEN MONOXIDE IS OFTEN USED
Waste DHMO is allowed to pollute our precious lakes, rivers, streams and the ocean itself. The impact on wildlife is extreme, and we cannot afford to ignore it any longer!
This Horror Must Be Stopped!The American government has refused to ban the production, distribution, or use of this damaging chemical due to it's "importance to the economic health of this nation." In fact, the navy and other military organizations are conducting experiments with DHMO, and designing multi-billion dollar devices to control and utilize it during warfare situations. Hundreds of military research facilities receive tons of it through a highly sophisticated underground distribution network. Many store large quantities for later use.
Ban Dihydrogen Monoxide Now
That's really funny commentary on the whole issue. I wonder how long before McBride sues the author?
... pleasa tella me you wear no
panties tonight, please, please, tella me thisa be true!"
Carmella smiles coyly and answers, "Yes Giorgio, I wear no panties
tonight."
Giorgio gasps and says "Thanka God ... I thought I had a CRACK in my new
$300 Bocceli leather shoes
World's Longest Sig to Follow
If you're bored, read this funny joke:
Giorgio is in this country for about 6 months. He walks to work 20 blocks every day and passes a shoe store. Each day he stops and looks in the window and admires a certain pair of Bocceli leather shoes. He wants those shoes so much it's all he can think about. After about 2 months he saves the $300 for the shoes and purchases them. Every Friday night the Italian community gets together at a dance in the church basement, so Giorgio seizes the opportunity to wear his new Bocceli leather shoes to the dance. He asks Sophia to dance, and as they dance he asks her, "Sophia, do you wear red panties tonight?" Sophia, startled, says, "Yes, Giorgio, I do wear red panties tonight, but how do you know?" Giorgio replies,"I see the reflection in my new $300 Bocceli leather shoes. How do you like them?" Next he asks Rosa to dance, and after a few minutes he says to her, "Rosa, do you wear white panties tonight?" Rosa answers, "Yes, Giorgio, I do, but how do you know that?" He answers, "I see the reflection in my new $300 Bocceli leather shoes. How do you like them?" Now as the evening is almost over and the last song is being played,Giorgio asks Carmella to dance. Midway through the dance his face turns red. He says, "Carmella, stilla my heart

how is the first post redundant?
is this implying that there is a even firster post before the first post?
(Yes, I'm half-joking, and no I'm not flaming. Utah folks are nice overall, but it's true that polygamy was practiced there up to 100 years ago mainly to populate Utah as quickly as possible from the small band of initial settlers.
Believe it or not, but there are communities here in Utah that still practice polygamy.
Those who've been to Utah know the proportion of white blond-haired blue-eyed people bearing the same last name there is quite staggering. Sweden looks cosmopolitan compared to Utah).
Things are getting better as far as diversity goes, and along with more diversity, the quality and types of food gets better as well not to mention the arts, music and science. But yeah, I'll tell you, moving from Texas to Utah was a bit of a shock. In fact, one of my friends did an epilepsy fellowship at the University here and was not so sure about it from a cultural standpoint. One of her first statements getting off the plane was "damn, look at all the white people".

I accidently moderated this as funny...now am posting to wipe out moderation on this topic. Is there another way? God help my karma.
There is nothing so powerful as an idea whose time has come.
Actually, I did find it funny. Yes, the good/wack is a troll, but as a response to the piece of crap at the start of this thread it was brilliant.
I'm posting this so that you (the moderator) have some context to consider twitter and not mod him up whenever he posts his filler preformatted rants about installing Knoppix or whatever that unfortunately get him karma every single time and allow him to continue posting his trademark toxic crap (read on) day in and day out. You may consider this a troll - I consider it community service. And I ain't kidding.
If you're a /. subscriber, I invite you to look through some of his posting history. I guarantee that you'll be hard pressed to find someone that is more "out there" than twitter. You'll also probably notice he's got quite an AC following. Don't just read his posts, make sure you go through the replies.
For example, in this recent post twitter not only calls the OP a troll but attempts to "tell it like it is" while making some vague argument about "GNU". Yes, if you're confused, you're not alone. The reply (modded +4) proceeds to simply destroy his bogus argument. You will notice he did not reply. This is what some people call "drive-by advocacy". A sort of I'll just leave you with my thoughts here and move on to the next flamebait kind of deal. In fact, he almost never replies because he knows that his fanatical arguments simply do not hold up to any sort of discussion. It's not that he's chosen the wrong cause - he's just going at it in a completely wrong way.
More? Just read though this post and the subsequent replies. I guess this stands on its own.
More? Bad spelling in astounding conspiracy theories, more offtopic FUD and uninformed "I'm right, look at me" rants, promptly proven wrong. Worse even, twitter wants to be RMS, apparently (that first one is a winner). I mean, really. You think?
FUD, FUD, FUD, FUD, offtopic FUD, and more FUD. This guy is like the Monty Python SPAM skit, but with FUD and more FUD instead of canned meat. Amazed
Why don't you just add him to your foe list? Oh yeah, because you are some kind of wierd troll.
I did go look at twitter's posting history and found this mindless post of yours on no less than 10 of his posts. Most of the stuff in your own list is bullshit too.
Twitter may be wierd, but you are dishonest, assinine, and wasteful of other people's resources. Fuck off.
I was raised Mormon, and the party line was always that they needed to do the whole polygamy thing in order to churn out as many babies as humanly possible. But from a purely biological standpoint, it just doesn't make sense. Supposing there is an eligible young woman, it would be more procreatively efficient to marry her off to an energetic twenty-something guy than a fifty or sixty year old geezer with an already overlarge harem (along with being more enjoyable for said eligible young woman and said energetic twenty-something guy).
The other claim, wholly untrue, is that there weren't enough young men to go around. The ratio of men to women was approximately equal throughout Utah's polygamy era. But due to the artificial shortage created by the "monopolistic practices" of certain favored individuals, many young men had to go on missions just to find and convert eligible young women. Thus, the "Mormons kidnapped my daughter" plot became very popular in the dime novels of the era.
That was a bit of a digression. The point is, claiming that you can get more babies out of x women by giving them all to a single man makes about as much sense as claiming that you can make a baby in one month by putting nine women on the job.
You want the truthiness? You can't handle the truthiness!
No wonder, they have a rather large population with a very coherent DNA to study there

THE RUSH FOR THE ROCK

Burnaby, B.C. -- It has a nice ring: Newfoundland and Laboratory. No, it's not a misprint. The Rest Of Canada -- which in this case includes Quebec -- likes to think of the easternmost province as the have-not of the 10. But multidisciplinary fieldwork based on human genetics may pave the way to a high-tech gold mine in Newfoundland.
At least one geneticist, Dr. William Davidson, thinks so. Last summer, Willie Davidson moved from being a professor of biochemistry and molecular biology at Memorial University to become Dean of Science at Simon Fraser University. In his cross-Canada relocation, at least one thing remained intact: His passion for the right of Newfoundlanders to control a natural resource of vast potential value -- their own genes. [/QUOTE]
