It is a shame direct view 16x9 picture tubes come no larger than 34 inches. The only big screens that look nearly as good are DLPs, and Damn! Those are expensive.
Microsoft wasted their money. Pest Patrol, the only one worth paying for, already got gobbled up by Computer Associates. I hope CA doesn't screw it up.
Sorry wrong thread. Once I logged in, the story at the top of the page changed. Why does that happen? Anyway, arent there already a zillion Linux distros in every real language, and some fake ones like Klingon?
All the BitTorrent sites need to move to developing nations, and parts of Asia where there are few or no copyright laws. In places where people are struggling just to find food, the idea that vapor has value is too absurd to even consider. Move your sites there.

AOL style keywords would make it easier for drooling retreads like people who use AOL, and can't find any website that doesn't end in.com, but they would run out of keywords quickly. If the whole plan of adding more top level domains is to make the net a confusing jungle that stupid people will abandon, it's a good thing.
While they are at it, they need to abolish radio! It too has free music, and advertising! All this free music will kill the recording industry just like public libraries killed the publishing industry!
Now, seriously. P2P advocates have been saying that file trading is the new radio all along. Companies buying advertising on P2P networks should be all they proof anyone needs.
None of these high-tech whizbangs is trustworthy, and all of them are too expensive. Marking paper ballots with No. 2 pencils is a simple and effective solution. If the scanning whizbangs screw up human eyes won't.
All this "Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve" shit got the fundies out to the polls. To save us from gay marriage, they voted for the man who has us teeterning on the brink of a second great depression, and may yet lead us into the third world war. Thanks a lot, you religious nuts! The world may yet end in your lifetime, but you won't be flying up into the sky to meet Jesus, while the rest of us stay behind to suffer. If the world gets blown up, we all die.
Think I'm being sensational? The Iranian parliament just voted unanimously to resume uranium enrichment. Thanks to Bush and Co. going around the world like the Roman Empire threatening everyone, nuclear proliferation is now inevitable. The whole world is terrified of the U.S. and sees mutually assured destruction as their only ticket to security.
If in addition to the silly "Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve" shit, there was also rigging of the elections, maybe we all really deserve to be a-sploded with "nucular" weapons.
Ooh, yeah! All right!
We're jammin':
I wanna jam it wid you.
We're jammin', jammin',
And I hope you like jammin', too.
Ain't no rules, ain't no vow, we can do it anyhow:
I'n'I will see you through,
'Cos everyday we pay the price with a little sacrifice,
Jammin' till the jam is through.
We're jammin' -
To think that jammin' was a thing of the past;
We're jammin',
And I hope this jam is gonna last.
No bullet can stop us now, we neither beg nor we won't bow;
Neither can be bought nor sold.
We all defend the right; Jah - Jah children must unite:
Your life is worth much more than gold.
We're jammin' (jammin', jammin', jammin')
And we're jammin' in the name of the Lord;
We're jammin' (jammin', jammin', jammin'),
We're jammin' right straight from Yah.
Yeh! Holy Mount Zion;
Holy Mount Zion:
Jah sitteth in Mount Zion
And rules all creation.
Yeah, we're - we're jammin' (wotcha-wa),
Wotcha-wa-wa-wa, we're jammin' (wotcha-wa),
See, I wanna jam it wid you
We're jammin' (jammin', jammin', jammin')
I'm jammed: I hope you're jammin', too.
Jam's about my pride and truth I cannot hide
To keep you satisfied.
True love that now exist is the love I can't resist,
So jam by my side.
We're Jammin' (jammin', jammin', jammin'), yeah-eah-eah!
I wanna jam it wid you.
We're jammin', we're jammin', we're jammin', we're jammin',
We're jammin', we're jammin', we're jammin', we're jammin';
Hope you like jammin', too.
We're jammin', we're jammin' (jammin'),
We're jammin', we're jammin' (jammin').
I wanna (I wanna jam it wid you) - I wanna -
I wanna jam wid you now.
Jammin', jammin' (hope you like jammin' too).
Eh-eh! I hope you like jammin', I hope you like jammin',
'Cause (I wanna jam it wid you). I wanna... wid you.
I like - I hope you - I hope you like jammin', too.
I wanna jam it;
I wanna jam it.
This is exactly what you could expect in any third-world banana republic: A rigged election to make it look like you have a democratic society when the real decisions are made in smoke-filled rooms.
I bet that asshat Steve Ballmer wonders why "piracy" is so rampant in countries where one copy of windoze or orifice would cost more than anyone makes in a year. It's not because they are buying new hardware. Did anyone else notice that Ballmer looks like Zippy The Pinhead?
Vote with your wallet. If they want to use DRM crap, teach them a lesson by buying movies elsewhere. My attitude is simple: treat me as a valued customer, or I'm on down the road to patronize your competition.
I just hope they keep Monkeypoo from spreading far and wide! Here is the mail circulating about it
VIRUS WARNING:
Attention: Computer Labs Inc., makers of Virucide antivirus software have identified a highly dangerous new Trojan worm, MONKEYPOO. It will usually appear in an e-mail with the subject, "Congratulations.You have won!" it will then prompt you to click a link to collect your cash prize. It can also freely spread across networks.
Monkeypoo will read your address book, and mail a copy of itself to every address it finds, and it will look like you sent it. It will then invoke the secret self-destruct command held over from the original IBM PC's
8086 command set. This short line of code will cause the processor, ram, hard drive and any floppy drives to spin out of control and overheat until key components melt together, and will most likely cause a fire.
James Winklee, a former IBM programmer had this to say. "We developed the self-destruct code so government agencies such as the FBI and CIA could quickly and completely destroy compromised computer systems before an enemy could get their hands on classified information. When we saw how violently a PC executing the command burst into flames, we decided not to publish it's existence. It has been kept a secret successfully until now. If you get infected with the Monkeypoo Trojan worm, you may notice your computer going completely haywire. Physically unplug it from power as fast as you can, and send it in for repair. Only a professional can remove this one."
While Computer Labs Inc and other antivirus software makers are working on a solution, they haven't got one a home user could successfully run yet. "This is the worst kind of malicious code I have ever seen." said Marcus Polan of Computer labs Inc. Use extreme caution.
It is important that as many computer users as possible receive this warning, so send it out to as many people as you can. The entire Internet and every PC connected to it is at risk.
75-90% of home users should not have computers, but someone pushed technology on them. Now, they are easy marks for identity thieves and con men who will use their computers against them. It's sad, really. The internet wasn't such a jungle back in the '90s.
By the time people figure out that they need help, and call a computer repair shop, their personal data has already been comprimised.

I got an email about Python and Parrot, but I think it was just spam.
And global warming is caused by cows farting.
It's a pink slip!
Goodbye!
