This sort of nonsense is taking time and effort away from truly valuable sexbot research. This is a totally irresponsible use of scarce money and talent.
Aw, come on! Haven't you ever heard of snow bunnies?
SCO is a company for the history books nowadays, but just a few years ago it was one of the most influential companies around, garnering interest and vile from MS and a host of Linux vendors. They will be missed.
You left out:
SCO was so influential in the IT industry that it inspired a highly popular website devoted to them, a website called Groklaw. The memory of SCO lives on. It will not be forgotten as long as Groklaw continues.
Minternet? Sounds like a mouth freshener you use while surfing the web.
Microsoft is always looking for a way to trademark common English words like (well) word, excel, access by putting their company name in front, so I guess they would call their new internet... "Microsoft Tubes"
Programming for fun is great if you've got nothing better to do. But once you're doing 40+ hours of something productive a week it starts to lose its shine compared with activities which were actually designed from the start to be fun.
So what you are saying is: he is in a rut and should change his job.
Actually, Google News privileges the lead news site for each story and downgrades all the others. If you click on a Google story, you obviously don't read all 1200 versions of that story from across the globe, you just read the one newspaper they have blessed with first place.
So to the extent that they show News Corp's headline text, they also privilege News Corp as the site you will go to if you click on the story (and I do click on a proportion of the stories in Google News).
So the news source "most stolen from" is the news source *most promoted* by Google.
My bank doesn't send links in its emails. It just tells me to go to my account. Banks should not have links to user accounts inside emails.
Banks should not phone up clients and then ask for their password or other identification. Any scammer could do that. I refuse to tell anyone my identification information if they phoned me - I have no way of knowing who they really are. If I phoned them, it is a different matter.
But the problem wasn't their passwords. The problem was that they clicked on a bad link, went to a dangerous site, and typed in their password.
Their password could have been the most ueber-elite 32 unicode-character password containing symbols from 5 different writing systems. It wouldn't have mattered.
Give a technological idiot a perfect password, and they will hand it over to the first social engineering attack they meet.
Anyone with a swimming pool could have told them about the ability of algae to come back from extinction.
But first you have to drop a _really_ big rock onto it.

"But my customers want it to work in their browser!" is not an argument when better browsers are freely available.
Really? When your customers contact you about this or that not working right in IE, all you tell them is to use a different browser? Don't you think that's a bit lazy?
Many users have no choice about the browser they use. Corporations lock down desktops and prevent users from upgrading or installing any software. I know organisations that haven't upgraded from IE6, leaving their employees stuck with poor quality browsers. The organisation is lazy - especially as they have locked their employees into browsers with inferior security - but that is not the employees' fault.
So it is not just lazy to tell your users to use a different browser - it is very unfair: it is often blaming the victim.

Ubuntu's fall release date ...
Ubuntu comes from South Africa. That's, like, in the Southern Hemisphere.

Did you know that Germany is also called DoucheLand and their currency is the DoucheMark? Krauts are a bunch of douches. Now you know!
I thought their currency was the You-row. Like Eye-tally-a and La Fronss.

You think that math is troubling? I'm still trying to figure out how to divide a group of 16 people into thirds without staining the carpet.
Perhaps it was one third of the people by weight.
"OK. Four thin people like it; three fat people hate it; so that's 50% each way."
No blood spilt - unless the fat people object to being labelled that way and attack you.

approximately AUD$250 (~USD$200)
Um, the AUD is worth more than USD$0.92
So that AUD$250 is more like USD$230
Try to keep up with the economy.
Boss (looking at Rationalizer): "What? You're not stressed? I am obviously not pushing you hard enough."
Naaa. No way this thing could be abused. Impossible.
Agreed. Star Wars very well could have had a medieval setting and it would have made no real difference to the plot..
I think that movie was called Willow
Or "Lord of the Rings"
If they are vegetarians, why do they make webs?
So they can have websites?
Brain surgery? Nothing like after a hard day in the operating theatre unwinding by taking out the kids pre-frontal cortex.
Oh, that's cruel!
Pre-frontal cortectomies are what the family cat is for (cats think they are so smart - we'll fix them!)
With the children you should be moving on to transplants. "Now what will happen if we swap Johnny's and Janey's amygdalas? Let's try it, shall we?"

Perfect opportunity to install real OpenOffice without laying down any more dollars.
Thanks Microsoft.

Changing your file system solves RAM errors how?
"NTFS" - 4 bytes of memory
"ZFS" - 3 bytes of memory
That's 25% fewer bytes to get RAM errors in.
If they let people do any part they wanted....
I want to play the part of a wolf dressed in sheep's clothing. I will call this character "Baa Baa Jinx"
Ooops. Wrong episode. That should be Episode One : The Bantam Menace.
(When we users get finished with Star Wars, Lucas won't recognise it. Perhaps that's a good thing.)
This memory failure explains why I have such problems with Google Translate.
Whenever I type in the German phrase "ich erinnere mich nicht", it keeps on telling me "I do not remember"

It is not fair. They have more eyes.
