    Kazaa said that it required Windows 98 or better, so I installed LINUX! No more spyware!

    If there is life on a planet revolving around Vega, could that life consist of slashdot trolls? Just imagine the aliense.cx links!

  5. Re:How long before they start calling premium-rate on Viruses Find A New Host: Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    This has already been done. I saw a computer get infected with a virus that did exactly that. It made calls to a computer in Vanitua, I believe.

  6. CSS on Phoenix Sounds Death Knell for BIOS · · Score: 1
    I guess Phoenix decided that we just need to keep changing what CSS means:

    CSS = Content Scrambling System
    CSS = Content Style Sheet
    CSS = Core System Software

  7. Re:Tax the food companies on Canadian Music Industry Wants Royalties on Net Usage · · Score: 1
    All right that's it; I live in Honolulu, it's 12:40 am; I think that I can get to Dole's farm by 2:00 am. I'm going to snag some pineapples, because obviously, since they are helping thieves sustain themselves, it's okay for me to be ripping them off. However, someone told me that there is a $500 fine for stealing agricultural products, so I think I might want to keep a low profile.

    Oh shit, I forgot to click "Post Anonymously"

  8. but still on A Secure and Verifiable Voting System · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I like the idea of being about to verify that my vote counted, but how will everyone being able to verify their vote stop dead people from voting?

  9. During the install of OO.org on Israeli Ministry of Commerce Picks OO.org Over MS · · Score: 5, Funny
    During the install of OO.org at the Israeli government office, the beast Clippy pops up

    It looks like you're trying to migrate away from Microsoft Office. What would you like me to do?

    Hit the big red switch and give you a few minutes to reconsider?
    Remind you that Bill 0wnz j00?
    Send an MS FUD press release to The Register.
    Commit harikari?

    That last one is one I have been waiting a long time for Clippy to offer to do.

  15. I would like to point something out. on Can America Trust Electronic Voting? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    With all due respect, I would like to make an analogy. Many of you say that Bush cannot be trusted because he has been involved in the oil industry. It is as though business experience disqualifies a person from being fit for President. However, at the same time, we complain about our elected officials being oblivious to technology. I guarantee you that if Bush were an experienced techie, Barbara Boxer and Tom Dashcle would be screaming that Bush is in bed with the computer industry, and yet somehow life goes on...

  16. Can you imagine on Wardriver Charged with Theft of Communications · · Score: 1
    Imagine a beowulf cluster of war drivers!

    No, but imagine when they arrested this guy. It says he way naked from the waist down with a computer in his lap. I imagine Officer Bob and Officer Jim happened by. Officer Bob says "Alright, you pervert, you're goin' downtown. Jim, handcuff him!" "No way, freak, YOU handcuff him!"

    In SOVIET RUSSIA, a beowulf cluster of these imagines YOU.

  19. News: SCO sues medical doctors on SCO Hints at *BSD Lawsuits Next Year, And More · · Score: 1
    In a recent press release, McBride has announced that SCO will be suing a prominent doctor within the next 90 days. It had something to do with the

    directive. McBride says that the std namespace obviously belongs to them and their rights to std::AIDS, std::syphillus, and std::herpes are being violated.

  20. Re:Simply a symptom. on McBride Speaks, In Person And In Print · · Score: 1

    No, capitalism is not working against us. Capitalism is working against SCO because we chose not to buy their products. Now, they are trying the force "the invisible hand" that is choosing Linux.

  21. Question for McBride on McBride Speaks, In Person And In Print · · Score: 1

    When you obfuscate the law and have the source to Linux, which is rightfully yours, returned, and there is SCOLinux on the shelf at Wal-mart; if I take it home and install it, will I have to go through some wacky "product activation" scheme?
