I ran a website about 50 years ago and we sold wool hats to soldiers in the war.
Business became tough, but in the end we pulled through. After all was said and done, we figured we'd open an online DVD shop and give things a go... this was about 1850 or so.
At first, it was VERY hard to keep up with the demands.. subscribers kept pouring in, but we didn't have enough DVDs to go around... until we entered a deal with Bill Cosby so that in exchange for hundreds of thousands of DVDs, we would eat his jello.
Theo became all pissed off and was like, "wtf dad."
And Bill Cosby just kept a stern face and replied, "You got your hoppin and a boppin and hippity hoppin while the downloads a rockin in the music stops knockin u know.. Theo, the Matriz has u."
Apache never cared in the past, so why should they care now? If they added someone else's code that wasn't a part of the GPL, then remove it and add something else in it's place. Simple, really.
In the name of GWAR, in the name of love
In the name of the blood dripping out of the sun
I call out your God, till before me he stands
But don't send me Jesus, he's only a man
Meat Sandwich!!!
I have come as a feral thing, clutching at your bloated underbelly
Let the agony, of the is to be
Be the shrieks, the warnings of the death screams
Pummeling the wretched, crushing the defiler
Pummeling the wretched-aye!
Slay them all let them come, let them come, let them come
They've come for
Meat Sandwich (crucify)
I have come as a feral thing, snapping at your bloated underbelly
To crucify, shrieks of the crucified
Let the agony, of the is to be
Be the shrieks, the warning of the death screams
Pummeling the wretched (you know who)
Crushing the defiler (you know who you are)
Pummeling the wretched-aye! (you know who)
Slay them all let them come, let them come, let them come
They come for
Meat Sandwich!
'Twas the rock and roll creation
'Twas a terrible big bang
'Twas the ultimate mutation
Ying was searching for his yang
And he looked
And he saw
That it was good
There's a old fat lady I know named Belvin. Her bush is like that of a brillo-pad.
I want to feed her many laxatives. When the effects are taking place, I want to put her on her knees... then I will make her kiss the dirt with her ass up in the air.
I will then proceed to kick her in the stomach, causing a firehose effect of shit to spray out of her ass onto a target I set up 600 feet away.
I plan on nailing that fucker in the bullseye. If not, you know what they say: "If you fail, try try again."
Because... you know, when OTHER people post it as responses in articles, it get a "5, Funny" rating!! Seeing as how I was equally as clever with the "[subject]. What's it all about? Is it good, or is it whack?" formula, I should be modded the same!

Plain Old Cell Phones Fading Away in U.S.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - As a fashion color, gray is the new black, thin batteries are in and you're not in vogue if you don't have the latest ringtone.

Store Anything
You can't afford to scrimp on storage. Here's how to store anything, plus top 10 hard drives and external storage options.
As the U.S. wireless market grows, the cell phone is evolving into a phone in name only as calling becomes almost secondary to a host of other functions.
After years of trailing Japan and Western Europe, where cell phones have long had color screens, e-mail, music, video games, cameras and other accessories that make American cell phones look backward in comparison, handset makers are finally pushing a new generation of units on the domestic market that offer the full range of functions available elsewhere.
"From the consumer perspective... it makes no sense to go for a low-end handset," ABI Research analyst Kenil Vora said. "The definition of low-end shifts from monochrome handsets to phones with a little bit of something on it."
Qualcomm Inc., whose CDMA (news - web sites) network technologies serve as the basis for two of the four largest wireless carriers in the United States, said recently its rapid growth was being driven by demand for phones supporting features like color screens, cameras and multimedia capabilities.
Such features -- once considered "advanced" -- are now increasingly mainstream, especially as prices fall. CDMA-compatible phones with color screens can be had for as little as $30 and with cameras for $100.
Texas Instruments Inc. said last week the greatest part of its sales growth was coming from a heated demand for wireless technology, including processors that let phones run multimedia applications.
As prices fall and demand rises, Qualcomm Chief Operating Officer Tony Thornley told Reuters recently, the market for plain old phones -- no color, no camera, no music or downloadable games -- is drying up in the United States.
"I think that that part of the market is going to decline quite rapidly," he said. "I think black-and-white screens are going to go the way of the black-and-white television very rapidly."
The cameras in the new generation of phones in particular are improving -- Thornley said Qualcomm's roadmap for its chips supports resolutions of 4 megapixels
What about when your mom walked in on you rubbing one out? *THAT* was invasion of privacy.
Or what about when you were at the rest stop taking a leak and some guy plopped his hand through the hole in the stall you were in? If you didn't follow through with the action, that would've been invasion of privacy.
Just because Tivo collects info about your Beastiality watching habits on dogsex channel 99 (a friend of mine watches it), doesn't mean they're gonna tell your new girlfriend that you get off on horses and peacocks.
These companies have it comin to them. I feel no pity.
I also don't pity the stupid-assed computer users who year after year get email worms and viruses because of shit they know goddamn well they shouldn't be opening. Sorry, people are stupid. If someone sticks their hand in the fire for the first time, they learn. Now, if they continuously do it after knowing the consequences, then they are truly sad and lost.
And to those who think it reflects negatively on the Linux community, you're getting your opinions from bigots. Anyone who has an opinion that's worth a goddamn will have a brain and will have the ability to understand that the actions of a few does not reflect the ideals and beliefs of a community as a whole.
Since SCO has it coming to them, this virus is wonderful.

and the only good varmint poontang is dead varmint poontang and a FUCKING FP, WHORE!
I don't get what the problem is.
Apache never cared in the past, so why should they care now? If they added someone else's code that wasn't a part of the GPL, then remove it and add something else in it's place. Simple, really.

Paul IS SO Gay! FP bitches.
Stick my fish in your fiddly qwah.
The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin'
That's what I said
The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand
Or so I have read
My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo
I'd like to sink her with my pink torpedo
Big bottom, big bottom
Talk about bum cakes, my girl's got 'em
Big bottom drive me out of my mind
How could I leave this behind?
I met her on Monday, twas my lucky bun day
You know what I mean
I love her each weekday, each velvety cheek day
You know what I mean
My love gun's loaded and she's in my sights
Big game is waiting there inside her tights, yeah
Big bottom, big bottom
Talk about mud flaps, my girl's got 'em
Big bottom drive me out of my mind
How could I leave this behind?

Garble garble, because there's nothing like fp
Palm OS. What's it all about? Is it good, or is it whack?
Ooops! Didn't you mean to mark that as FUNNY?
Because... you know, when OTHER people post it as responses in articles, it get a "5, Funny" rating!! Seeing as how I was equally as clever with the "[subject]. What's it all about? Is it good, or is it whack?" formula, I should be modded the same!
Yet more proof that slashdot mods are morons.
Internet Voting System. What's it all about? Is it good, or is it whack?
That should've been marked as insightful. Please do your jobs better.
You know what's fucking retarded? If *anyone* else posted that and they had a history of "5 - Funny/Insightful/etc" it would've been marked as funny.
..but instead it's marked as a troll. How the fuck is that a troll? Slashdot mods are IDIOTS.
Wow, sad is the day when facts are marked as troll!
;)
Sounds like some people are in denial
