Customer: Hi, I'm interested in licensing AS/400 for my Fortune 500 company. IBM: Yes, sir. What server are you looking at to run it? We have a great deal on our iSeries 890 midrange systems, starting at about $350,000. Customer: Oh, no thanks. I just picked up a Playstation at a yard sale for 20 bucks.
Coincidentally, the amount of spam coming from China has increased 28% in the past 6 months. According to one Chinese offical "We have the world's second-largest online population, but our super efficiency allows us to spam the entire United States' 165 million online users quite successfully"
Have any of you recorded a movie off of the TV or perhaps changed the radio station when the commercials came on?... Just a thought but technically your stealing from the Recording Industry.
Let's not forget about going to the bathroom during commercials. If you don't watch the commercials you are violating your "TV contract" and stealing programming. Oh, the horrors!!!
It would be funnier if the police has Segway's too. Perhaps they would have modified ones that could go 15 MPH.
Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where George had one of those motorized scooters, and was being chased by a gang of elderly people, also on scooters, at about 3 MPH.
Frankly, if they didn't see that coming, they were asleep at the wheel. Sure it's free while it's in beta. Hell, even Microsoft gives away free beta software.
Did they really think CloudMark was going to continue to offer the service for free? You can't pay your bandwidth bills with spam (unless you are a spammer). Hey, perhaps they should offer a free, advertisement-supported spam filtering service:-)

No true. I've got a bolt of lightning in my living room and I've managed to get Linux to run on it. You can install Linux on *anything*
"Well, for almost ninety years the Food and Drug Administration has been charged with the task of protecting and promoting the public health."
Now if only they would start regulating herbal supplements, maybe we'd see a reduction in the herbal viagra/penis enlargement spams.
"I prefer a much simpler method, ATTACK ROBOTS, programmed to destroy the SCO empire."
Won't do much good if they have Old Glory Insurance
Oh, so you're not really him? Damn imposter!
In that case, guess it would be safe to say "nice to see you"
Introducing, the Microsoft BiMouse. That Mouse that Scrolls Both Ways (tm)
"a drop of 11% in one day isn't all that signifigant"
Exactly. Certainly not as significant as this drop
"What more can you say?"

2. ???
3. Profit!
Damn that was funny. I didn't know the goatse guy posted on slashdot.
Wonder if slashdot will ever be K5ed
There's also a greater chance it will be lost and won't get counted at all.

Better yet, pay them with crack. At the rate they are smoking it, they must be out by now.
I'm pretty sure he has. Now where the hell did I see that... (fumbles around)... Ah yes, here it is

Here goes:
"If we install Microsoft software in the DHS, then the terrorists have won"
I thought hell already was a vacation resort. Why else would everybody keep telling me to "Go to HELL"????

"...then contact that local police department. Tell them .... you need to speak with someone with extensive computer/internet/technical knowledge"
Someone in the police dept. with extensive computer knowledge? +1 Funny
Not knocking the police. I'm sure they do the best they can with the resources/funding they have.
Actually, the *NICE* time is before failure.
The *MEAN* time isn't until after it fails.
No, let's play global thermonuclear war.
"And the stock has tripled in value since this whole thing started".
Cool. So now might be a good time to short it, since it will probably fall back to where it was before this whole thing started.
Even more of a coincidence (and a damn funyy one too) was that the banner ad I got was to "win an nVidia video card"
Out searching for the real killer(s), of course!
