  1. Obligatory... on New Evidence in Historical Cannibalism Debate · · Score: 1, Funny

    Two missionaries in Africa were apprehended by a tribe of very hostile cannibals who put them in a large pot of water, build a huge fire under it, and left them there. A few minutes later, one of the missionaries started to laugh uncontrollably.
    The other missionary was incredulous, and said, "What's wrong with you? We're being boiled alive! They're going to eat us! What could possibly be funny at a time like this?"
    The laughing missionary said, "I just peed in their soup!"

  2. WinXP o Pentium II on Microsoft Challenges Linux's Legacy Claims · · Score: 1, Informative

    I'm running WinXP on a Pentium II 400 mhz box.I had to do a lot of tweaking to make it work. That implies stoping lots of services that usually run by default and taking out all the eye-candy. Yes, it runs. I can run yahoo messenger, msn messenger, google talk, thunderbird, firefox, and winamp at the same time. It doesn't crash as win98 does, but I still see a blue screen once a week. I can't run iTunes, everything gets soooo slow. Videos play as powerpoint presentations (you hear the audio and the image changes every 3 seconds).

    This machine running windows 98 feels faster than a brand-new box on XP. Of course windows 98 is useless now-a-days. Ubuntu Linux works as installed by default as fast as win98. I wouldn't really recommend Windows on legacy sytems.
