After closing it's New England affiliate site, Yahey.com, Yahoo is feeling pressure from investors to improve its bottom line.
Hey, wait. "Bottom line" sounds like a line out of a porno. He he he.
[That's right. You want some of that?]
Yahoo co-founder Jerry "Do I make you randy?" Yang is very excited about Yahoo's new sexing-up process. "I want us to be the Napster of porn," he allegedly said. "We're the Yahoo you don't take home to mother."
Co-founder David "Big Stick" Filo could not be reached for comment. His assistant said that he was in the storage room shooting a training film of some kind.
The new on-hold music is pretty cool, though. Lots of bass.
Hell, that's nothin'. We did that to one of our less animated directors of sales last year. He was a resourceful little bugger, though. He used his mechanical pencil and letter opener to cut a hole in the wall to ask for help. That's the last time he takes a cat nap in the spare office.
Then there was the recent incident involving two helicopters colliding with one another- and that aircraft that cut the support cabling on that gondola in Italy a few years back.
As an instructor at Ace Driving School, I can say with authority that our men and women in uniform need to learn to drive. Companies like mine can make a huge difference in the number of accidents and monthly insurance premiums. Hey, look at what we did for the fine people at Exxon.
is that they will consider this article a success.
But k5 is more (and less) than Slashdot's snot-nosed kid brother.
The "reality" of the situation is this: tiresome hacks will always claim that they have a leadership role or some kind celebrity within a given online community. Katz seems to have made a go of it- convincing the outside media that./ readers are interested in what he has to spew- er, say. It shouldn't be surprising that other tiresome hacks are lining up in the on-deck circle.
In spite of Jackon's current world of hurt, he has publicly asked President Bush to give him a mandate to mediate in the China crisis.
Similar scenario: My wife's finishing up the laundry and I ask "is there anything I can do to help?" Of couse not and she knows it.
Does Jackson actually expect Bush to ask for his help? Of course not. But offering (or demanding) to help is a much better PR choice than letting the media continue to rip your reputation assunder.
Some cynical observers have wondered aloud whether Jackson is merely trying to repair his reputation and make another run for the coveted Father of the Year Award.
If the court rules against this guy, does that mean the next time a Congressional representative starts reading the D.C. phonebook to keep a bill from a vote that police will burst in and arrest him or her?
I haven't paid much attention to the whole x-box thang. But I wonder if (as I assume) they have ethernet capability- and if that will allow them to be used at LAN dig-shins.
Having never been to one, I wonder what games are played. Half-Life, Quake, Unreal, I assume. Not Dr. Mario or Dig-Dug.
I'm just curious.
I also wanted to know if these LAN thingies are mostly "sausage fests" or if women actually pretended to be impressed by virtual feats of destruction.
It seems a lot of the growth of this sector has been in the free smut genre. Does that mean "free as in beer" holds true in pr0n as well?
I remember hearing some horror stories from college where some guys I knew dated the same young lady one after the other. Sharing was okay, it seemed, as long as you included the source code.
But what happens if members of your semi-pro programming team lose thier day jobs (as often happens in a recession)?
Lets hope that giant Prozac helps to elevate the mood of Wall Street and pull us out of this bear market before the million pound poop hammer falls on us all.
We've laid off half our staff at Ridiculopathy.com just because we didn't want to feel left out.
At RidiculoCorp, we have slowly been snatching up different words and trademarking them.
Far from owning the contents of the Oxford Unabridged, our modest investment in connecting words will pay off for us and our investors.
It seems that very soon, anyone who doesn't want to pay us will be speaking like a Hollywood stereotype of a Native American. Or perhaps people will begin writing more like Hemmingway: "I am cold, tired."
Ever wonder how campaign finance reform has gotten this far? Both parties see the legislation as a threat to incumbency, so what gives?
This morning as Senators assembled in the chamber, somebody yelled out "April Fools!" and John McCain burst into tears. He knew at once what had happened. A vast conspiracy of 100 senators and 400+ house members worked dilligently to keep him in the dark, all the while adding amendments to ensure the bill's unconstitutionality (i.e. harmlessness).
As one of the converted I appreciate being told what I already believe to be true. You needn't site any actual facts to prove that school environments are any more hostile than they were in the days before people shot each other up in them. Anectotal evidence is the only kind I need. Anything which starts with "I know this guy..." works great for me.
Gun violence in our nation's schools is a serious problem. So, I recommend we stick to discussing the impractical solutions. That way when people ignore us and the problem doesn't go away, we can claim to have known better all along.
There you go again with "In Canada" this and "In Canada" that.
Maybe I want slower DSL speeds so I can savor each packet. Have you ever thought of that, Gordon?
Of course not, you were too busy with your socialized medicine and quasi non-violent prime-time tv programming to think of it.
Perhaps you should consider an alternative explanation: your DSL speeds are just as slow (or slower) than they are in the US of A, but special software makes you think your throughput numbers are better. It's all a clever rouse by the CIA to keep you Kanuks up there where we can keep a good eye on you.
Think it won't work? Somebody convinced you that round ham was "back bacon." I rest my case.
Who is going to trust Sega's next proto-flop? They sound like your friend's drunk dad. "I promise, Timmy. This time will be different." But it's not. The products just get killed faster now.
As far as comparing the PS2 and DC, just remember this: it's easy to love a dead man. I've played both and, sure, the DC is a great device inside a poorly conceived marketing and integration shell. But it's dead. If someone asked me if Maralyn Monroe was hotter than my wife, I would say "sure, but she's dead."
I chose to give TiVo my information. I chose to allow them to track my viewing habbits. If all of this results in better programming and cheaper cable for me and my family- I fail to see the harm in it.
This UPC-code I allowed to be tatooed on the back of my neck was also a great idea. Whenever I rent a movie at Blockbuster and forget my card- bam! They just scan the back of my neck and I'm good to go.
The high-band radio transmitter I had installed in my daughter's sinus cavity has earned my family over four hundred dollars in Warner Bros. store merchandise. Plus there is the added benefit that I always know where she is. Of course, I would have to go through the database managers to do that, but it's a comfort to know that I could. And the best part: the surgery was free.
To all you nay-sayers and naybobs I can only say this: imagine a future sans the great inconveniences of our day like Neilsen boxes, annoying survey calls, voting.

Bucka-bucka-bow!
And I swear every word of this is true.
Touchy, touchy.
Here's some advice: never give a link pimp an even break
Good luck with banner ads, fellas. You'll need it.
I remember when one of our submarines ripped a Japanese fishing boat in two. That was pretty ugly.
Then there was the recent incident involving two helicopters colliding with one another- and that aircraft that cut the support cabling on that gondola in Italy a few years back.
Of course, who can forget the recent collision between one of our spy planes and a small Chinese fighter jet? Ouch.

Besides, I should know - I'm a tiresome hack as well.

Enjoy.
Rock on. C-Span is my new channel of record.
This is so much cooler than National Public Radio. Even their new "morning zoo" format isn't this cool.
Any skript k1dd13 with good intentions can take them down with a simple macro- and the government can keep their hands clean.

Check me out, ladies. I just rolled over this PacPan machine!

Don't even get me started about "groupware."
I need to take a shower. Now I feel all slimy.
You know what they say: Once you go dark matter, you'll never go back.
Of course, other universities will have to follow suit. Otherwise, you'll see Harvard School of Business courses traded on Gnutella.
Is Canadian search engine Aboot.com going under?

Can I get an "amen?"
But what are its specs on the dreaded Q3 fps test?
"Dr. Chandra, will I dream?"
"No, but you will be sued to oblivion over your name."
These guys jumped the gun. April 1 is a couple of days off.

Think about it.
So, they piled up all my mail in an enormous pile, waited several weeks to allow a horrible stentch to issue forth, and then burned it.
What has the world come to?
