All of the others were "given" jokes. If OS X Tiger wasn't coming out VERY soon, I would have dismissed this in an instant... instead of 35 seconds. Very clever.
I also heard that the next Debian installs will include Paris' latest video and her hacked TMobile phonebook by default. No more searching around the net for your favorite downloads!
I don't think he's calling the repairmen amateurs... but the people that joe user ends up turning to. Maybe the kid down the street, or the guy next door who hooked up his own router. Most people don't call someone for PC repair, they just find "someone who knows something"... no shit that person is an amateur.
"Do you mean "there" was a mistake? I'm pretty sure you do."
I'm sure that you meant to type "did you mean..." and "I'm pretty sure you did" because it was in the past that he was collecting the thought and actually constructed the post.
But would this trojan or "spyware" still go after MS AntiSpyware if it wasn't purchased by MS? I think in a way, saying Microsoft software sucks still applies to this.
If people's computers didn't get loaded with spyware and cause them to buy this other application out, then this thing likely wouldn't remove it.
I found that quite humorous... each little story I saw (with a couple exceptions) was just saying that their stock was up... BECAUSE OF her "stepping down." Poor lady. Good for HPQ then.

RTFA. Then you'll doubt it too.

Wait... you have a sexy secretary?
Forget the toys... I'm just excited I can finally get a classy snack at my desk now!
Don't worry.
You won't.
Did you guys hear how loud that "whoosh" sound was? I heard it all of the way over at my desk.

To realize what day it was.
The rest of that 15 seconds was spend thinking "WTF?"
There is a problem with the database that is preventing the site from working.
An email has been sent to the administrator notifying them of the problem. Please try again later.
That administrator is going to get a LOT of emails. Oh, and I believe that "problem" it's talking about is called Slashdot.

grammar != spelling
And really...if someone lies, is this really newsworthy?
It is if it's not posted in the Politics section.
What's "evem" more scarier is the Slashdot spell checker.

I think I'll have to start referring to it as the "Swedish Campground Key" now...
Why would I have any incentive to move from Google anyways? They bring nothing new to the table that I'm interested in.
Exactly...
It was all of the major points I wanted to know from the story, without having to read a bunch of BS.
Thank you guys.
I just hope it doesn't become commonplace on slashdot. This is just sick.
buffington, bluffington, whatever... it's early.
I think the link to the blog should NOT have been included. It's just driving even more traffic there now that wouldn't be generated otherwise.
I sure hope "doug nelson" gets a cut of the clickthroughs for posting the story here and getting "michael bluffington" the traffic.

So now I have one distraction providing an article about other distractions?!
Like the other guy said... You have to see Team America to get the joke (hence the title)... if you haven't, then STFU.
"It was inevitibible..."
"I'm sorry, what?"
"Inevataball..."
"One more time?"
"INEVITABLE! Jesus christ! Why are people so fucking stupid?!"
