You can read the first half about the 'digital lifestyle' in Part 1: Bill Gates plots a Windows future. Here is the Slashdot discussion of the first part of the interview."
The Gay Nigger Incestual Average rose fifteen points today in a sudden upswing Wall Street investors are crediting to GNAA-ANUS's unveiling of what's to come in the new year.
Development has continued on what is perhaps GNAA's best-known product, the popular Internet application Lastmeasure. New features and functionality will help to ensure that users will be able to enjoy Lastmeasure, even with the most modern of browsers.
Gay Nigger musos eagerly await the release of YHBT, the upcomming GNAA album that promises to be the new standard in trolling music. The album will include cuts such as the Ripper-inspired "S~H~O~A" and the stirring ballad, "Zionist Oppressors and You".
Perhaps the most impressive of the new products is known only as the "Drilldo."
Described by GNAA president timecop as "Six barrels of sixteen-inch niggercock fury", the device is mounted on a small set of tank treads - mobility technology licensed from the US Army robotics program.
"We've found the Drilldo to be effective in a number of uses," said GNAA researcher Turkback. "Both Goatse and Mr. Hands were found to be adequately fulfilled. Our special Ass-Sabot rounds are designed to directly pentrate deep into the rectal core."
GNAA researchers expect to see battlefield testing of the Drilldo as early as Febuary, with insertion into OSDN headquarters. Military experts are predicting these real-world tests to go "catastrophically erotic."
GNAA has also announced plans to sponsor a Bug Chasing team in 2005, supporting the Montrose Area Chasing Team in their goal to infect themselves with as many different strains of AIDS as possible.
The Montrose team has generally lost to bigger cities such as San Francisco and New York, but have high hopes for taking the lead in 2005 with their new GNAA backing. "With GNAA behind us, we'll be able to achieve our goal by engaging in reckless cocaine use and unprotected anal sex with anonymous partners in bookstore bathrooms," said an unnamed representative of the Montrose team.
In other news, The spiritual leader of the ANUS collective, Prozak/gasjews, announced Friday that he would be leading his team of Neitzchian uber-trolls on a quest to find the Holy Asshole. No word has yet been recieved on his progress, as immediately after this announcement the leader climbed to the top of Mount St. Helens in Washington State.
"He's been up there for days," stated ANUS operative Iconoclast. "We can't really make out what he's yelling from up there, but we think it's something about 'infinite return'. He's probably not comming down until he manages to set the damn thing off."
Authorities say that no resolution has been reached, but that regular shipments of burritos, ammunition and weapons-grade marajuana continue to be brought to the peak of the volcano.

Why oh why did they think it was a good idea to have an RPC server on by default when there's probably less than 1% of users who would use the feature?
Switch it off (it is possible, but not straightforward) and see what breaks; it's an essential component, right or wrong.
How many insecurities has Internet Explorer had since it was launched with XP? I lost count.
So, you don't actually know, then? How can you criticise them meaningfully if you don't know? Saying "I can't remember, but I'm sure it's had lots!" is just spreading FUD.
And, thanks to Microsoft integrating the Internet Exploder
That just looks childish and detracts further from your argument
engine so tightly into their OS, if a bug affects IE then it probably also affects Outlook, Outlook Express, MS Help and gawd knows what else.
The alternative, of course, is to have seperate HTML rendering components for every application that wishes to render HTML. That would lead to bloat, unnecessarily duplicated code, differing standards compliance across applications, multiple codebases to fix, and all the other bad things that pointlessly replicating code leads to.
The correct thing to do would be to publish a fixed API and make the rendering engine to use a configurable choice (whether system-wide or per app) so that other people could easily write their own or adapt (eg) Gecko to comply, giving users a choice.
Incidentally, the same is true of KHTML, which (last time I looked) was integrated pretty tightly into KDE. True, you have a choice to not use KDE, but then I seem to be managing pretty well using XP and not using IE, OE, etc.
It's official. Most of you are morons.
