  1. The ultimate solution on Good Guys 2, Spammers 0 · · Score: 2, Funny

  5. Linux School vs Microsoft School on Microsoft to Build High School in Philadelphia, PA · · Score: 1

    In M$CHOOL

    Classes are taught by a giant paper clip

    Sometimes te paper clip will explode, but it will reappear some minutes later

    Sometimes the whole school will explode
    You dont pay by student, you pay to sit

    No one would see any security personnel. If you ask, they would say " if you could see them, then it wouldnt be safe"

    In Linux

    The school is build by the children, with home-made items.

    Penguins teach the students

    Teachers use pipes to talk to one another

    No one pays anything

  6. WHat I hate about JAVA on What Do Programmers Like About .NET? · · Score: 1

    I'm not going to say what I like about .NET (but I like it a lot), but why I am dissapointed with JAVA

    1 - Everybody programs in it (or thinks so)

    2 - Too many edition: there's server edition, standart, mobile, toilet edition, Javacard, javadrugs, and Java tamagotchi edition

    3 - Language is a bitch. The bastard who invented typesafety (I know, not just in Java) reminded me of an old story about people being cut or stretched to fit in their beds. I guess he sould be banned out of his bed if he's just an inch bigger or smaller (please, cutting numbers is OK, most of the time)

    And Java bitches too much about safety and parameters. If I don't want it to be safe, don't make me do it.

    Ok, I've bitched enough

    I've just pattented my new Copy protection technology it's number 666-666 just after patente 666-665 which is mine: "a method for air circulation in socks using localized fabric deterioration"

    Here's the deal. You go to a store and buy a CD. Yuo open the box and there's nothing inside.

    It's simple and effective. Of course you dont get to listen to the music. If you could, you would post it in Kazaa and we would have to sue you for that.

  11. The most likely reason on Blaster Writer Caught · · Score: 2, Funny

    is that this guy was caught using telnet/pine to read his mail at home and some other kid saw this "very complicated" screen with no buttons and not even a paper clip to help in this task
