    The article goes on to say, "Indeed, the month of November 2005 represents one of the strongest months yet with a total of 9,465,000 total connected users.....", odd how that coincides with the release of Half-Life 2...

    He obviously knows nothing about physics.
    The article writer apparently is also oblivious to the fact that volts measure charge, not current.

    They found the larger the percentage of students taking the SAT in a state, the lower the average SAT. In the 10 states with the highest SAT scores, an average of 8 percent of their high school students took the SAT, while 69 percent of students took the test in the 10 lowest scoring states.

    Due to recent AUP policy changes at .cx NIC, one of the key GNAA sponsored websites, http://goatse.cx has been found "in violation of .cx AUP policies". This announcement delivered a huge blow to the GNAA organization.
    Without goatse.cx, we lose an important piece of GNAA.
    "We will not let this happen", GNAA representative goat-see said to the press. "GNAA will begin planning a terrorist attack on the Christmas Islands."
    GNAA currently operates a back-up site, also located at the .cx TLD, http://goat.cx. Users are welcome to use this website while we try to persuade .cx NIC to reinstate goatse.cx domain.
    "In the event that our peaceful negotiations will fail, Christmas islands are sure to be gone off the face of this planet", added another GNAA member, penisbird.

    GNAA Announces acquisition of SCO
    By Tim Copperfield
    New York, NY - GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America) today announced acquisition of The SCO Group for $26.9 million in stock and $40 million in gay niggers.

    GNAA today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the intellectual property and technology assets of The SCO Group, a leading provider of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt, based in Lindon, Utah. GNAA's acquisition of SCO technology will help GNAA sign up more members worldwide. In addition to developing new solutions, GNAA will use SCO engineering expertise and technology to enhance the GNAA member services.

    "I'd love to see these GNAA types slowly consumed by millions of swarming microbes and converted into harmless and useful biochemicals." said an anonymous slashdot poster, blinded by the GNAA success in achieving first post on a popular geek news website, slashdot.org.

    "This GNAA shit is getting out of hand. Slashdot needs troll filters. Or better yet a crap flood mod that I can exclude from my browsing. Seriously, a good troll is art, what you dumb fucks are doing is just plain stupid." said spacecowboy420.

    macewan, on linuxquestions said "Thanks for that link to the SCO quotes page. My guess is that they want to be bought out. Hrm, think they want GNAA to buy them??"

    After careful consideration and debate, GNAA board of directors agreed to purchase 6,426,600 preferred shares and 113,102 common shares (the equivalent of 150,803 ADSs) of SCO, for an aggregate consideration of approximately US$26.9 million and approximately $40 million for gay niggers that were working in Lindon, Utah offices of The SCO Group.

    If all goes well, the final decision is to be expected shortly, followed by transfer of most SCO niggers from their Lindon, UT offices to the GNAA Headquarters in New York.

    Half of the price is the retailer markup. Publishersers rarely see more than $30 per game, and the developing company only gets maybe $15 of that. All this for software that should theoretically have a near-zero cost of distribution (per copy). The main problem is that people are too lazy to shop around and either pirate it or plunk down $55 at WorstBuy instead of supporting the discount retailers, or supporting shareware companies that bypass the obsolete publishers' 50% skim entirely.

    What you're complaining about is a lack of capitalism. In a captialistic system, there are many providers of a product or service and they compete on quality and price, to the point where price reflects actual costs and profits are thin. The health-care system in the US must be rife with hegemony and corruption, since things obviously cost a lot more than they need to. You should be so lucky as to get a captialistic health-care system. If that's your idea of capitalism, then it cannot ever actually come into existance. Unrestricted markets ALWAYS give rise to hegemony, monopoly, and corruption.

    I have a revision to your theory that looks*intelligence = constant. Since there are plenty of women who are both stupid AND ugly, such as Rush Limbaugh, this principle does not hold in general. However super-smart hot girls are as rare as top quarks. The few exceptions are rips in the space-time continuum. Therefore I submit that looks*intelligence k*Q^2, where Q is the supermodel-stupidity quotient (SSQ) and k is the Really Fucking Lucky (RFL) parameter, which equals e^(does god like you?).
