Hi, sorry to disturbing you during dinner. I'm Carl, from Zenith Telecom Appliances. I am sure you are too often being disturbed during dinner by some idiot, 6.50 $ telemarketers with stupid names as Brad or Carl, trying to sell you some stupid low phone rates.
We at Zenith Telecom Appliances have a solution : the Zenith EZ HangUp, wich is a new device that allows you to avoid the plagues of telemarketing.
We have a special offer for you today : you can have it not for 2000$, not for 1000$, but only for 200$.
Today a Microsoft spokesman introduced a new concept : RTCO, Really Total Cost of Ownership, while promptly adding that Windows' RTCO is far below Linux'
The people behind Palm had studies that showed that the greatest part of the market for palmtops are people that already have a desktop computer, a home computer, a laptop. Heck, with a price tag of hundreds of dollars to start with, only geeks and your boss could afford one, and only AFTER buying said devices.
Those are better fit to run full screen, full motion, full color videos and play mp3s. I don't need that on my palmtop. Besides, how long a video can you fit in even 64 MB of RAM ?
That's not what a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) is for. That's why these should be black and white, lowres. That's what rules about Palms. That's what sucks about $700 Windoze CE devices. If I want to play a video game, I buy a Gameboy, that's much cheaper.
Besides, Notes, Calendar, To-Do, Appointments, and Expense are only the surface. You're free to add dozens of other little softwares. The Hacker's Diet. AvantGo, to cite a few.
If you want to whine about the lack of evolution in Palm devices, complain about the fact that batteries still last for about three weeks only.
It just looks like a vanilla dragonball black-and-white palmos device.
When I purchased my visor deluxe last summer for 200 $, I remember the 2 MB version was 100$, and the Palm concurrent was about the same price. I would have taken the Handspring anyway cause it's more 1337, but anyway, this is nothing new.
What ? You mean iLarry Rosen is only part of an whole gamma of products ?
Do I have to expect a "PowerLarry Rosen" too ? Does that one have power features like legalising torture for music pirates ?
You are so funny ! How did you come up with such an original joke ? You are a comedy genius, only rivaled by Robin Williams and Jim Carrey.
What about this one ?
1)Sell an illegal chip to run illegal Linux on XBox 2)???? 3)profit ?
and what about this one ?
In A.D. 2001 Xbox was beginning. Gates: What happen ? Ballmer: Somebody set up us the modchip. Allen: We get signal. Gates: What ! Allen: Main TV screen turn on. Gates: It's You !! Linus: How are you gentlemen !! Linus: All your XBox are belong to us. Linus: You are on the way to destruction. Gates: What you say !! Linus: You have no chance to survive make your time. Linus: HA HA HA HA.... gates: Take off every 'DRM' !! Gates: You know what you doing. Gates: Move 'DRM'. Gates: For great world domination.
LOL ! ROTFLLMAO ! You and I are so funny ! We rule Jerry Seinfeld ! We ridicule the Monty Pythons ! We terrorize Matt Stone and Trey Parker !
well yes technically slashcode.com and slashdot.org generate pretty much the same html, but on slashdot.org they won't even admit they use suboptimal html so they blocked w3c's access to the site...
I am a 2000 newbie, and in the 2 1/2 years I read slashdot I did not experience the hot "grits" and the "np petrified in stone (sic)" trolls. Can an old timer explain me ?
but I freshened up MY resume because I got laid off
As geeks, we slashdot readers must congratulate you. You got laid ! I mean, wow ! Most of us didn't ever even get to first base. But come on, the guy who's going to interview you for a geek job is probably a geek himself. You don't want to make him feel inferior, do you. If I were you, I would remove the line :
In AD 2002 war was beginning
-somebody set up us the 1-click shopping
-we get signal
-main screen turn on
BEZOS : all your patent are belong to us!!!
-it's you
BEZOS : you have no chance to license make your time
-what you say
-move claim. For great justice.
It would appear that Warner is not capable of significant change. And that's easy to understand - Warner is a very old company, stuck in it's way, and hasn't had any ground-shaking innovation in the past 50 years. When you feel like crap, it's more satisfying to "go to war" than to intellegently address a serious issue.
OK, we're going to get 150+ comments saying "I use gnucleus/gnutella/whatever and I works just fine. Why would anyone use kazaa ?"
Answers : because Kazaa doesn't suck. Because kazaa a a critical mass of users. Because Kazaa scales well. And with kazaa lite, I don't even get spyware.
Gnutella is slow, has nothing to offer, has worse file fingerprinting, doesn't scale well. I tried it, dozens of times. Everytime my friends touted "and it's so great". Everytime I stopped after 5 minutes and deleted it. Gnutella sucks. Try kazaa (lite of course) and you will not look back.

But can I use BitKeeper to keep incremental copies of my libel against frontpage ?
and more important :
Was Taco legally allowed to write this story with Frontpage - as he always does ?
But what animal should be on the cover of O'Reilly's "Law In A Nutshell" ? A shark ?
like Bernard Shifman. He's probably jobless anyway.
Hey, I came up with yet funnier :
:
Hold on, sit down, you're gonna laugh as never before
Imagine a beowulf cluster of these modchips.
Still alive ?
You are so funny ! How did you come up with such an original joke ? You are a comedy genius, only rivaled by Robin Williams and Jim Carrey.

So, will the chip have DHRM (Digital Human Rights Management) ?
