If someone had a phone/beeper that didn't work and thus didn't get the message. Although I think that person would probably have found out it would really suck to walk into work one day and find none of your coworkers there. Surprise!
Sounds like a nasty way to play a joke on someone though... just send out a text message telling them that they've been fired!
A national Do Not Call Registry like the U.S. Anyone happen to know if there is something like that here in Canada? I know that the Canadian Marketing Association has a Do Not Contact Service that allows you to get off of marketing lists which I suppose is a similar idea.
Now let's hope that the government doesn't actually start playing these games. The last thing we need is for the bureaucrats to be playing Everquest (Evercrack) all day.
I think that I'm just going to have to start referring to it as the browser-formerly-known-as-Firebird. Hey it worked for Prince... wait he is called Prince this week isn't he?
Q. Okay, here's the difficult question. What do you think about this SCO business right now?
A. Right now I'm actually fairly calm, because they haven't made any huge outrageous claims in the past 12 days or so, so they've been quiet for a while
It's been a whole 12 days! They must be up to something!
Slashdot Mirror
After all they're full of crap and they're continually spewing out more all the time!
On the internet p0rn finds you.... (not to mention in Soviet Russia)
I'd take that "measly" 50 PFLOP system anyday! (insert Beowulf Cluster joke here)

The URL in the story is the placebo since no one actually RTFAs anyway...
Or maybe Windows XP: The Empire Strikes Back

Hey it works for Microsoft!
at that price point it had better come with a firewire vagina.
Talk about being hot pluggable!
Soon we will be able to Slashdot at the speed of light! Evil laugh>

What is he going to do, drop his trousers for the judge?
The real irony now is that all us internet addicts are going to Slashdot their web server!
(Italian accent) It's a me Linux!
No one's reading it anyways...
They could compensate him with Gigli instead...
It's running Windows ME! Nooooooo!
Now I can be just like the RIAA and buy politicians!
Those aliens don't come cheap though.

Millions of 56Ker's screaming in agony.

all of the searches for "extortion" and "blackmail" start bringing up the SCO homepage at the top of the results.
I don't think that anyone would be eager to wear an SCO jacket around town. You'd probably end up being surrounded by a mob of angry geeks.
