    So, Bin Laden is hiding in the studio NASA uses to perpetuate this ridiculous notion that the Moon and Mars exist, and that we have sent machines and people to land on them?

    George W. Bush could declare Linux the official OS of the government, get a Penguin tattoo and give Linus Torvalds the Medal of Freedom and /. would still find a way to bag on him for it.

    Well, yes, because he would pronounce it "LYE-nucks", get the tattoo on the wrong asscheek and jab Linus when he pins on the medal.

    Right. It's controlled by the stage crew in the studio at Area 51 where they are filming the hoax. All they had to do was dye the Moon set red.

  21. Hmm, classy on Microsoft Rolls Out New Anti-Linux Ad Campaign · · Score: 1

    Microsoft has borked the ad campaign in the same manner that it did the MSN.com homepage. The content of the right-hand column in set ~5 characters to the left of the left-margin. Thus, "Independent" becomes "endent" when viewed with Opera using anything but MSIE 6.0 as the User-Agent. I'm using Opera 7.23 on Windows XP, btw.
