Well duh, it *was* a humor article. Take a contrary position, say something that nobody is saying, get a bunch of hits on your site...all numbingly standard stuff for anyone in the media biz.
Doing the same stories over and over again is a recent development in movies, it's only really happened in the last 20 years. I don't know about you, but I rarely pay to go see a movie at the theater. I remember a day when we would go to the movies, and decide what we were going to watch only after arriving. You could watch any movie, and be assured of entertainment. Not so today.
Actually, in 1994, Unixware was a great solution for businesses. Linux was a playtoy for kiddies. It wasn't until last year or so that Microsoft invested in the foundering company and turned it into a vehicle to attack Linux.
Oh, and I suppose you've been to India? It *SMELLS* there. It really smells bad. The streets smell, the people smell, and the food smells. The food isn't like the delightful Indian resturaunt down the street. If you're not dodging cow turds, you're dodging human turds. That's right...shit, right there in the street. Dukeys. Logs.
Oh, I apologize, though. Telling the truth is indeed racism.
Huh? I check bags all the time. They don't lose them. Get out of the 80s, man. Lost-luggage jokes were old before the Comedy Channel started showing all those tired comic routines.
Never trust a tech who says that trendy multitools like the Leatherman are indespensible. Real techs carry real tools. They also don't trust other techs who have their URLs pointing to register.com spamsites.
Who on earth bought them? What kinda nonsense is that? Almost useless? They were a godsend to the traveling businessman. Plenty of early 90s cell phones were deployed, you just didn't see them if you were a dorky consumer who thinks that if it's not on sale at Wal-Mart, it doesn't exist.
No, the Japanese just choose to dedicate scarce resources towards these kinds of useless baubles instead of actual worthful products.
The Japanese are not nearly as price-conscious as Americans. Americans want everything cheap, that's why cell phones with picture capability have just come out there. Japan has had them for 3-4 years now, because they didn't mind the $400-$600 pricetag when they were new.
Man, how many slashdot articles can there be about this? It's worse than the "Mozilla browser almost done" articles that kept coming for almost three years.
It's that good? Take any NYT article with a grain of salt. Who knows what other priorities exist in their newsroom? NYT editors consider some things to be more important than getting the story right, such as promoting minorities. Sorry, but it's true.

Those aren't games...they are more properly categorized as "software toys".

That show is still on? What is this, 1998?
Oh, I apologize, though. Telling the truth is indeed racism.
India is a stinkhole. Literally. Why do you think Indians are falling all over each other to come here?
Besides, it should be "It should thus be". Please stop trying to appear smarter and deeper than you really are.
Yeah, then you can be on the cutting edge of 1997 technology...

FLAMEWAR ON!#!@#!
You can bend the tools on a leatherman easily. It's more of a gimmick than a serious tool. They do a lot of business around Christmas time.

Put it in your checked luggage...duh.
Emacs would never fit onto a flash memory stick...

The robot neither shits on the floor, nor jumps up on the furniture, nor humps the legs of your guests, nor runs away and gets run over by a car.

That's nice, but what about the other five billion people in the world, who consider gaps in a resume to be immediate grounds for File 13?
Yeah, it's a good idea for the FBI not to investigate people selling military technology to the highest bidder.
"Carpet bombing" is a loaded word used only by journalists, and has no military meaning.
