GNAA Announces Launch Of GNAA Europe GNAA Announces Launch Of GNAA Europe
London, England - Top GNAA officials have confirmed the long-rumored launch of
the company's new European division, putting to rest myths that the
organization had reached stagnancy in its membership.
The announcement came on the heels of the 2nd quarter membership and financial
report of GNAA, Inc, which had reported a 15% decline in new memberships, down
from 250,000 in the previous quarter. Investor confidence in the public
company's stock dropped shortly afterwards, amid rumors of corruption and poor
management in the highest levels of GNAA.
"The launch of GNAA Europe should put to rest these myths, as well as open up
an entirely new market," announced GNAA spokesman penisbird, speaking from the
new GNAA Europe headquarters recently constructed in downtown London. "For
years, statistics have shown that Europe, with its generally more liberal
atmosphere than that of the United States, contains a higher percentage of gay
niggers. As GNAA membership places stringent standards on both the race and
sexual orientation of its applicants, a higher percentage of potential
candidates can only work to our advantage. From our consumer polls and
surveys, we expect to accept nearly 10,000 members into GNAA Europe in the
first week alone."
The new GNAA Europe headquarters, described as one of the most technologically
advanced and nigger-friendly corporate headquarters ever built, is a sure
indicator of GNAA's current success. With its lavish outside garden, complete
with African sculpture from renowned sculptor Gary Niger, as well as its grand
lobby featuring a 3-story ceiling and ornate gold decorations, the building has
attracted much attention from tourists and local residents alike. Even more
impressive is that which is not seen by the casual visitor: the specially
constructed "pleasure centers," accesible only to GNAA members, allow for
extravagent orgies with more than 100 participants each. Located on the upper
floors of the building, they provide food, entertainment, and bedding for
orgy-goers, as well as a wide selection of sex toys, including whips, chains,
lube, dildos, gloryhole booths, and even a sample of GNAA's mysterious new
pleasure-enhancing drug, code-named "NIGGERSEED."
Since its inception in 1992, GNAA, the Gay Nigger Association of America, has
been dedicated to uniting gay niggers for one common purpose: to be gay
niggers. Its rapid growth after its IPO showed strong public interest in the
endeavor, which is the first of its kind. More recently, GNAA has posted
profits in excess of $500 million every quarter in the last 4 years, placing it
among the most profitable of organization of its kind.

common goal - being GAY NIGGERS.

Dreamcast started dying the moment Sega decided not to give up on making their own consoles and make games for other consoles instead. While the Dreamcast may be prolonging its death by homebrew games, there's never going to be a Dreamcast 2. Not to mention that Dreamcast is at the bottom of the list for popularity in current-generation consoles.
That said, it is nice to hear of someone finding something useful to do with those Dreamcasts.
From looking at the links, it seems like MSN Direct is yet another way to get up-to-the-minute information. While I can see how this is useful in some circumstances, I'm also somewhat doubtful. Do you really need to know the exact second that the Yankees get a home run in a game you are too busy to watch by looking at your watch? Or, are you willing to pay $750 for this ability? Some people may find it useful, but the amount of information that is valuable to the average person in real time isn't all that big.
I've been looking forward to this for a while. It's certainly been annoying to have a common web graphics format protected by patents, limiting its usability by free software. Now if only the same could be done with some other file formats that we might find useful...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't patents only have a term of 14 years, that can later be extended to 28? Windows Update has been around for a while. Were these guys just waiting for the perfect time to strike, seeing as their patent is due to expire soon? Perhaps they were just waiting until it seemed like they had a good chance of winning, or they would be most likely to get a settlement and not have to win in court.
If the efforts of other corporations bent on protecting their intellectual property (RIAA) are any indication, per-processor licensing will move to per-core licensing. If the RIAA can force you to pay multiple times for the same song (which you, unfortunately, cannot move between preferred mediums), then it would make sense that software companies bent on collecting money would make you pay multiple times for one processor. On the other hand, they are somewhat different issues: usage of music would be governed under fair use (in theory), while usage of software (at in terms of licensing per processor) would be governed by the EULA or another contract between the corporation and customer.
It's good to see a fairly unbaised, objective look at an open source product on Slashdot. Many times, we see either a "OMG Open Source = good" or a "I couldn't even get it installed, this sucks!" in place of an actual review. In this instance, it seems as though the reviewers actually tried to make this a fair review. They used users with different experience levels to get an overall picture of the usability of Gnome 2.6. While they could have used more than one user for each stereotype for statistical reasons, it seems at though they have done a decent job in their review. It is reviews like this that show us what to work on.
The idea of payment for work units is interesting. While it would certainly provide incentive for participating in distributed computing projects, I can see two problems with it already:
1) Getting the money to pay people. One advantage of distributed computing is that you don't have to pay for time on expensive cluster. That advantage disappears when you pay distributed computing users. Of course, it may still turn out to be cheaper, and there may be users willing to participate for free.
2) Botnets and profit. We all know of spammers using zombies to peddle goods, and of script kiddies using them to DDoS. What if some enterprising but immoral person decided to use the computing power of his zombies to profit off of the distributed computing payments? With enough zombies, he could easily make a good amount of money off of other people's computers.
The problem with using distributed computing for everything is that the number of people willing to let others use processing power on their computer is not infinite. It is a very large number, but eventually everyone who wants to/knows how to help out their favorite cause will have something already installed. In addition, the more useful endeavors that use distributed computing, the less users you will get for each, and only the 'interesting' projects will get many users. Who wants to use their computing power to analyze some boring old physics experiment when you could be finding aliens or curing cancer?
Distributed computing has its uses, but remeber: the public will only be willing to help you as long as they feel like they're contributing to something worthwhile.
Has it ever occurred to all the "The terrorists have won" people that the terrorists more than likely don't fucking care about our freedom? They want us out of the Persian Gulf. They want us to stop helping Israel. They hate our imperialistic actions. But, if we were to leave them alone and not interfere with them, would they really go out of their way to bomb us?
And this is only Al-Qaeda. The vast majority of terrorists out there are in it for one of two things: radical change on one issue that no one seems to care about, and drawing attention to themselves and killing as many people as possible. While the lower-level operatives of terrorist organizations often believe in what they're doing, the leaders are frequently just trolling because of their own psychological issues. Even without our freedom, they'd sill hate us.
