Is Your Office Haunted?

WormholeFiend writes "You know Halloween is around the corner when websites like Forbes.com releases a story wondering about the supernatural. From the article: 'Maybe the spirits have decided that spooky mansions and creepy battlefields are passé. Maybe they want to cash in on the glamour of corporate life. Maybe they just wanted the sushi.'" Anyone out there have any encounters with a spiritual Milton?

  1. A spectre is haunting my office desktop by ir0b0t · · Score: 1, Troll

    Its the spectre of open source.

    All the powers of unix are pressed into struggle to exorcise this spectre: GNU and BSD; Apple and Linux; hackers and crackers; script kiddies and my grandmother who can't even use an aol client and wishes she could have her old typewriter back.

    Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as open source by its opponents in Richmond?

    It is high time that open source advocates openly publish their views and their aims and meet this nursery tale of open source with a party manifesto.

    . . .

    Brrr . . . spooky . . . .

    Happy Halloween!

  2. Randi is a fraud. by Seraphim_72 · · Score: 0, Troll

    Tell you what, I will give you $1 million dollars if you prove evolution is real. Whoa, slow down. Here is your one celled organism, you have 2 weeks to "evolve" a monkey. What? You need more time? ...nope - I make the rules, I, Sera decide what is fair for the paranormal, not you. Is it fair? Certainly it is. Obviously as the scientist in this equation, I have proven that Evolution is false, you have two weeks to evolve a monkey to prove me wrong. No one has evolved a monkey in 20 years so I must be right. Right?

    Point is - if I get to set the test I can always prove you wrong...always. If you really look at the sub-amazing Randi's tests they all are shell games that the house wins. It is no big deal if I offer a million dollars if I know I will win from the get go.
