You do not deserve instant karma for simply turning every negative concept and applying it to Microsoft. Of course they're not going to start charging timed licenses for their OS. It's not clever, and it's not funny. Stop cheating at life and think of something clever to say.
Don't you see? Moderating it as Interesting is a master stroke of comedy. It's the only thing which has made me laugh on Slashdot all day. Most of the other attempts to be funny here result in my wishing cancer upon the poster.
I'm guessing that you're an American and aren't familiar enough with plummy Englishmen to understand how different John Cleese is to Simon Jones, the very actor who played Arthur Dent and in fact the character was BASED on. As I've posted elsewhere, James Fleet of Four Weddings and a Funeral and The Vicar of Dibley fame would be perfect.
Ooh, you wrote MS with a dollar sign instead of an S, and suggested that Microsoft are evil. Looking for a +5, Funny are we? You are a pitifully fucking awful person.
>...that dance artist (about 3 or 4 years ago IIRC) who made the graphic thing in Windows Audio Player show a (somewhat poor but still discernable) picture of himself.
That "dance artist" (I dislike that description, he's more than a generic techno musician) is in fact Aphex Twin. You can see the image through a spectrograph. Old Slashdot article here.
Big Bird: Look Elmo, I downloaded all this neato music on the 'In-ter-net'.
Elmo: That's stealing. People who pirate music should die of cancer. You're going to hell. Hehehe, that tickles.
Of course, I do also see that it can be good for people. I just think that usually it's counter-productive.
The Internet has damaged me, but I've also learned everything I know thanks to it. And yes, that doesn't include the ability to write coherent sentences.
Sometimes I wonder why people describe Slashdot as the most intelligent community on the 'net. The majority of users think that the same old porn jokes are still funny in different contexts. I can't read a page here without picturing blathering, drooling morons.
"Guns don't kill people, computer games kill people!"
To all patriotic gun wielding Americans (paging that fucking freak Eric S. Raymond): You don't need guns. You only want guns because you spent so much time fighting for your right to have guns that your worst enemy is able to buy a gun. It's probably got to a point where it's all irreversible now though, and you couldn't safely outlaw handguns in the home in America. Well done you!
I don't care how much you flame me. Having no guns works. Don't give me any bullshit about your freedom.
It's called light-heartedness. If you had any sense of reality or a social conscience, you would realise this. Does it hurt to post a silly topic on a slow news day?

You.
Now some mods should mod yours +5 Funny, and somebody can complain about that, etc. etc.

Hugo Horton from the Vicar of Dibley.
CLEARLY the best candidate to play Arthur.I love you guys. And really, 20% of Slashdot is advertisements, so we should start refering to it as $lashdot.

StarROMS = Starfuckers Inc.
Exactly what is ironic about somebody telling somebody that they're not allowed to do something but not really meaning it?
Are you Alanis Morisette?
lolz windows +34 funny

Most people don't need the Internet. It's breeding nations of fat wasters who don't want to pay for things. The Internet is bad for people.
A plain modified tape player! Of course! Was it given to himher by his dadmum?
And you're all gays! Big smelly gays! LOL!!!
The worst thing is people replying with stuff like "HAMMERZ!!! lOL!!!!!!! NO CHAINSAWS!!! LMFAO!!!11". Geeks can be the stupidest people...

The fact that you think the units are going to change the formula makes me not want to read anything you have to say regarding the subject.
You could just scrap the battery entirely, and travel with a small coal fire to power your laptop.
