-The Sox won the world series Possible...
-The Pope died Well, they do tend to run a bit on the ancient side.
-I got laid Well now you're just screwing with me.
-BSD had a hole I acuse you of lying! Oh wait...
A couple years from now, MS office will require that space to be installed. Sir, that is preposterous!
Suggesting the MicroSoft would make a product requiring such massive amounts of space is unthinkable! Why, we all know that 161 exabytes should be enough for anyone. MS produces nothing less than the cleanest, leanest, most efficient code on the planet.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to get back to work - I'm installing Office 2007 on a new machine here, and I'm currently on HD-DVD 342 out of 5000.
In a related announcement, IBM disagreed saying there's only a market for maybe 5 copies of Vista in the world...
Oh wait, sorry, that's the market for PS3s.
We used to say "All hardware sucks."
Now we can say "Hardware still sucks, but now it sucks in multiple universes simultaneously!"
Technology marches ever onward.
Yeah, but does it run --
Oh.
Well then, I guess we're all set here. Someone else wanna take over, maybe throw in an "all your base" or "Beowulf cluster" reference?
If someone is more comfortable with Windows after trying one of the most user-friendly distributions out there (Kubuntu) then maybe Linux isn't for them. Time to stop evangelizing Whoah whoah. I think I'm gonna have to stop you right there and ask you to hand over your/. account. We don't allow that kind of talk in here.
(Not that I disagree, I just don't like to say it around this crowd, if you catch my drift. It's kind of like keeping Star Trek and Star Wars fanboys apart, except it matters slightly more. Or less, I can't remember which at the moment.)
FIRST is bloody awesome. I was on a team back in high school, and I'm still helping them out now as a mentor. I would never say it's simple, but it's a helluva great experience. I think I've learned more from that than any of my college courses (so far, at least).
Where no geek has gone before Where, mom's basement? Quite the opposite, I think MOST geeks have been there before. And half of 'em don't leave once they get there.
I hope they are at least leveraging their e-synergies and fully embracing AJAX and SOAP in that 2.0 space. Wait, when did Samuel L. Mutha-F***ing Jackson come into this? I mean, I know there was plenty of buzz on teh interweb about that movie, but I don't recall anyone trying to ban it aside from those with no taste for B-movies.
"25,000 lines of Javascript ? What could you possibly be doing which requires that level of Javascript interaction ?????"
document.write('25,000 bottles of beer on the wall, 25,000 bottles of beer. Take one down and pass it around - 24,999 bottles of beer on the wall');
document.write('24,999 bottles of beer on the wall, 24,999 bottles of beer. Take one down and pass it around - 24,998 bottles of beer on the wall');
document.write('24,998 bottles of beer on the wall, 24,998 bottles of beer. Take one down and pass it around - 24,997 bottles of beer on the wall');
And you get a half-dozen responses showing the proper way to accomplish that, completely ignoring the fact that it was in fact a joke.
Basically, by rooting for this thing to fail is basically saying you hate children. Yep, that's the only possible reason people would be against OLPC. No doubts about the feasibility or anything, nope, it's just pure hatred of those rotten kids. Hell, I bet these same anti-OLPC^W anti-children people can barely find time to post on/. between kicking puppies, breaking toys, and reminding orphans that they have no parents.

Fitness isn't just an ability to reproduce, it's the ability to reproduce and have those off-spring survive to reproduce, and their offsping to survive, etc etc.
Being able to afford things like food and shelter go a long way towards keeping yourself and your children alive. Having a degree from college (generally) means you make more money, meaning you can survive easier, meaning your children have it easier and get better jobs themselves, meaning their children do better, and so on.
Having more children makes you fit? Great attitude. "Yeah, I'll just sleep with everyone I meet and have lots of kids, which'll make me very fit and successful. What's that? I need to support them? Nah!"
Them: "Is Mark there?"
Me: "I'm sorry, could you hold on a minute? *Pause* Yeah, get a couple more photos of the body, and don't forget to check for fingerprints..."
There's nothing better than causing some nice explosions, steal a few cars and beating up some hookers after a frustrating day at work. And after THAT, you go home and load up GTA, right?

Well, it sure as hell would make my upcoming Physics test easier.

Sir, I dearly wish I had mod points for you. That's one of my favorite jokes.

It's called ROT-26 and I'm using it right now.
Slashdotter1: Dude, I met the most awesome girl last night! She's hot, funny, smart, AND a gamer!
Slashdotter2: Yeah, but can she run Linux?

Sure, and maybe next they'll use it to filter out all the crazy women in the world and find the sane ones.
Wanna bet on which'll happen first?

Damn! Just used my last mod point earlier today, too.... You get +5 Imaginary Kudos for that. Best joke I've seen on /. in quite some time.
