Erotica Found Within Microsoft Office Install
ThinSkin writes "Leave it to the Swedes to discover erotica stored within an earlier version of Microsoft's Office XP suite. According to the security group, a default installation of Word and PowerPoint contain a love letter from "Bill" and a photo of Alyssa Milano as one of the templates. Microsoft discovered this problem a while ago and included a patch within Service Pack 2. Microsoft has done a pretty good job keeping this under wraps and has refused to comment on the matter."
how it feels to be slashdotted by fools!
I think Slashdot is going a little to far with the April Fools jokes...
bill gates in love awwww 3
At least it wasn't those photos of Bill in that magazine. Jeeze.. I still have nightmares.
There are 2 types of people in the world, those who find that stupid binary joke funny, and those who don't.
This is getting really freaking annoying.

Dang it, that's what I get for browsing from a patched machine...

In protest of the April Fools insanity, I am replying to all news items with the following... Nothing for you to see here, please move along.
gross!@
you can have so much negative information you form a kind of singularity where not even CmdrTaco can escape?
So that's why my brother has been spending an ungodly amount of time on his "research paper".
Decent gag though =)
But honestly, how much bandwidth and how many cpu cycles have these jokes wasted?
With this decrease of time between stories, in about 25 minutes the universe will melt because of a division by zero in slashdot HQ.
And we all will be happy....
HI O WISE PRINCE. WHT TOOK U SO DAM LONG?
Was CmdrTaco's New Year's resolution to post every single April Fools joke found on teh intarweb today?
There's a flight sim and a FPS in Excel and Word, and the Leisure Suit Larry knock-off in Outlook. No biggy.
One line blog. I hear that they're called Twitters now.
Everyone is bashing all of the April Fool's jokes, but I actually find them entertaining. It's not like the normal tech news is all that urgent for you to read. I enjoy the hilarious, far fetched articles. KEEP 'EM COMIN'!
In 10 minutes it will be past midday everywhere in the world, and this madness can stop.
this is not a sig
Microsoft is going to take over pr0n now too? I knew it was called longhorn for a reson.
Guys, it's already April 2nd over here. I am sure our colleagues in the US/Canada can still enjoy these jokes if they are. What the hell...Oh, I better sleep otherwise slashdot will make me run amok.
this is getting really annoying! They should have a time window for the april fool day's submissions...
Ok, something is up with these April Fools jokes. Like slashdot has been hacked, or the editors are playing a joke on us, or SOMETHING. People just can't be such big idiots. It's biologically impossible.
I can't handle RSS-Grab scrolling by this fast.
I can't ignore the articles no matter how hard I try.
Please, think of the children.
.. then don't visit Slashdot today! Close your web browser. Do something else.
Which articles are fake, and which are real? Easy: they're all fake.
(With the possible exception of the 2GB Gmail thing.. not infinity+1 though)

The owner of Alyssa Milano's management company is a good friend of mine. I just sent him a copy of the complete garbage that was posted here. I hope he completely fucks the idiots that run this site. There is no excuse for this type of reckless behaivor.
Here's the info on the corporation that runs this horrible place:
VA Software Corporation (OSDN)
46939 Bayside Parkway
Fremont, CA 94538
510-687-7000
in case you want to send your own complaint. Again, there is no excuse for this type of slander.
32nd post! Woot!!!
If you click on the article link and read the "love letter" within... obviously the author was inspired by The Onion :D
"People" using "unnecessary" quotes should be "shot".
I have never seen such incredible low posting as I am seeing today. Its an uprising!
Eww.. I don't want to install MS office any more. I'll switch to Open Office. No thanks microsoft. What should I leave to Swedes in Sweden? I'm confused.
I'd say negligible.
The key difference between a Programmer and a Senior Programmer is that one of them is Mexican.
And head to the pub to get pissed.
This is slashdot geek erotica.
In a move to erase doubts about the sincerity of Sun Microsystems' move to embrace the Linux operating system, Chief Executive Scott McNealy took the stage Thursday wearing a penguin suit.
"We love Linux, and I hope there isn't any doubt about it," McNealy told financial analysts at its annual meeting here, dressed as Tux, the seemingly innocuous penguin mascot chosen years ago by Linux founder Linus Torvalds.
This is minor stuff compared to what really appeared in Apple instruction books in the 80s. They had a lame joke about how your floppy disk usually comes in black vinyl, not black leather. Like I really need S&M references when I'm trying to figure out why the farking machine isn't doing what it is supposed to. Apple deserved to become 2nd place in computing.
