  1. So? on Online Greeting Cards Patented · · Score: 1

    Doesn't remember the companies that did stuff like this for kicks? Like the company with a patent on something like "emotion expression through ASCII based text". Smiles anyone? :-) And how about the company that took the tones of a phone (usually just two music notes played together), and patented "music", which was actually phone numbers. I checked, and yep, they have a patent on my phone number. So when I call home, I'm breaking the law... Thankfully these companies are doing it for shits and giggles. *Gulp* I hope...

  2. Also Of Note! on World's First XP System Sold · · Score: 1

    Microsoft also stated that should you choose to pirate Windows XP or dual boot into a *NIX, you will be forced to watch Steve Ballmer's happy dance. Preliminary lab reports showed an incredible 99% success rate of spontaneous head explosions.

    God help us.

  3. Worried? on Is the Unix Community Worried About Worms? · · Score: 1

    Lets see... Using UNIX... And... My biggest worries are:

    * Did I bring coke for lunch today?
    * Where are my glasses?
    * I have the latest distros right?

    So no, I'm not. But the NT admin in the cubicle over is pissing his panties.

    I love UNIX.

  4. HP 95lx on Handspring Releases New Visors · · Score: 1

    *sigh* All these years and still no reason to switch from my trusty HP 95LX... But, if only I could cram Linux or BSD on here, I'd be one happy hacker. *HINT*Handspring*HINT*
