  14. Can anyone play? on 5 Predictions for 2012 · · Score: 5, Funny

    There will be a pill men (and women) can take to remove the need for shaving. Trade named Depilorex, those that take the pill will lose all bodily hair and be referred to as 'smoothies' leading them to start a cult that worships the head of Steve Balmer.

    After years of mis-understanding and accidental death, new Tablet PC's will come out that are chewable, in colorful Flintstone shapes.

    Bill Gates will be a distant memory having been killed in 2006 in a bizarre accident when his computerized bidet malfunctions (a brief investigation can find no evidence of tampering and very little evidence of Mr. Gates)

    Steve Balmer retires from Microsoft in 2005 to star and produce in a remake of the Battle for the Planet of the Apes. Mr. Balmer also becomes heavily involved with the smoothie cult as it's symbolic leader and introduces ritualistic clapping and hopping to the group before being asked to reduce his role and "just be the head"

    Terrorism is a thing of the past when, in a 2003 CIA plot, the leaders of al-Qaida are clandestinely fed Depilorex and cannot look at each other without giggling and are too embarrassed appear in threatening videos.

    The new head of Microsoft, an incomplete 6 year old Bill Gates clone hastily harvested from the scene of his death, announces (via a translator 'Mr. Wuzzy his Spokes-Teddy Bear') the switch to a new open source philosophy, introducing the new direction with a new mascot, a fuzzy green reptile called 'Opensaurus' and changing the marketing tagline of the company to "We wanna play too! "

  15. Hey! Right now Fark.com has pictures of girls... on Building the Enterprise D Out of LEGOs. · · Score: 4, Funny

    LEGO his Eggo...

    sorry.

  18. I've seen a few people give examples... on Cringely on P2P · · Score: 3, Interesting

    of adjustment that is already occurring in the industry. Here's another. Ani Defranco who I'd never have listened to if it weren't for P2P went around the system. She wasn't loud about it - more matter of fact. She has a loyal fan base and her own label where you can buy her tunes directly (think she makes more per album?).

    And yes, I turned my swiped sound into solid support - (I bought the album).

  19. BTW on Bricklin on Tablet PCs · · Score: 1

    Under OS X I sync and print from my Newt 2100 (to my Tibook) wirelessly using an old Wavelan Silver card. And believe it or not I have beta software (Everchanging Software) that allows me to sync my address book; and soon - my iCal.

    So I've fully reactivated my trusty old 2100 and use it as my primary PDA again (yippee!)

    It's fair game for meaningful posts 'eh?

    So - a joke:

    At the Miss World Pageant in Nigeria a girl puts on a skimpy bikini and asks her manager "Does this make me look Fatwa?"

    Laugh. It's funny...
