This article is BS. I have tried many times to explain to my girlfriend why I spend so much time with my boxen. She won't accept...
1. I'm searching for deals on diamonds. 2. Just 10 more minutes. 3. It is cheaper than going out and partying. 4. Theres nothing but crap on TV (which is true)
If I told her I was working on "expanding my creativity" I am pretty sure she would "creatively" kick me in the nuts.
Yeah, because Apple has so much pull in the Irish Step Dancing community. Seriosuly Lord Of The Dance (LOTD) is a sound investment, its not a fad at all.
[hopefully the LOTD fad is current enough for this joke to have merit]
Is this a Windows OS check, or a Microsoft product check. Reason being, I recently came across a Legally Purchased (in 2000) copy of Works Suite 2000, and used it to install Word on 4 different boxes. Am I going to lose all that? Or do I fall under the "Legally Purchased" Clause. I am sure there is something in the EULA about mulitple installs being a no-no. Also, the copy of Windows on each box (2 XP's, XPx64, and 98) are all leagal.
Its simple really. Microsoft hired a team of scientists to figure out how to implement the third step in the UnderPants Gnome theory of economics. They succeded and thus... profit. They fear going Open Source would divulge this information and that would put a damper on thier profit margin.
Its rumored that MS is in talks with the Sock Monster as well.
Under the guise of fighting terrorism the United States' FBI, CIA, DHS, and representitives from NAMBLA have already raided the offices of Intel and others. Ofcourse their findings were kept secret. Truth be told the entire account was done secretly, no court orders, no records, no backing by the constitution. In fact I shouldn't even be talking about this....
What TFA doesn't tell you is that the UK is a tiny little island inhabited by hobbits, leprechauns and the Oasis brothers. A tiny little island where www.microsoft.co.uk makes up 9% of the accessible websites.
The other 1% is the Beckham/Adams fansite, which we all know is poorly coded.
Good read, and surprisingly strong bandwidth on that site. I still suspect its about to give off its Death Rattle, but heres to the tech support guy who gets paid $250 to take the fire extinguisher to thier servers!
Do yourself a favor and track down the Geek Squads price list. Holy Crap am I in the wrong business (law). $29.00 to install RAM? Whats that take 5 mins? 60/5= 12, 12 x $29 = $348 an hour. Where do I sign up?
Well wonder why? Movie Theater Ticket: $9.25 x 2 = $18.50 Popcorn: $3.75 (would you like a large for $2.00 more?) Beverage: $4.25 (would you like a xxl with free refills for $2.00 more?) Candy: $3.00 Going home and getting laid: Priceless.
Home Theater Rental: $4.00 Popcorn: $1.00 12 Pack of Coors Ligh: $9.99 + deposit Candy: $1.24 Turning Gili off, and getting laid: Priceless.
I just advised (cant believe I am admitting this here) my Aunt to buy a $500 Dell with Win XP home. It doesn't come with MS Word?! I comes bundled with WordPerfect. Seriously that would be nice if it had both, choice is nice, but bundling it with WP while almost everyother WinXP box has Word is bogus.
I want every product (or at least the choice of every product) that Microsoft develops (or buys the rights to) installed on my computer when I purchase Windows.
I have carried my cellphone in my front left pants pocket for damn near 8 years, and I have seen no side effects. Infact I have grown an inch and now have a thrid testicle!
If nanotechs can promise me as much success as the radiation from my cellphone, I'm all in.
Thats when I "the worlds 2nd biggest hacker*" will break into the computers at the Pentagon, the CIA and the FBI to find evidence that proves it was a cover up.
You will be reading about me here at/. in 2-3 years.
Seriously though, screw the Pentagon for saying it has the worlds most secure network and then having someone break into it. Makes me feel real secure with my Windows ME installation.
*185 pounds.
I love the casualness of the "F-bomb" internet text. "Here's the text of TFA" censored translation...
"Here's the text of The Fxxking Article" So casual. But on the other hand no one would know what the OP was talking about if he put "...text of TA" And it might be tough to condone the switch from TFA to TA, since all your really doing is getting everyones minds off Fxxking and onto Tits and Ass.

Speaking of Sharks... I think the Bush Whitehouse just jumped one.

Do anything but show them source code.

Forget I said anything.

What would be the best for me to leech off my neighbor.
And is it available in St. Petersburg Florida?
Have wifi will travel.
Bush said that, it was a joke. As in "I think we misunderestimated /. users ability to comprehend jokes."
Apparently "Dont put all your eggs in one basket" doesn't translate well.
If you sell it, some rapper/actor/athlete will buy it.
I was thinking what could be better than the Gallagher brothers and Leprechauns in the same sentance.
Truthgylly though, I'm just glad you were able to read that, I posted it on www.slashdot.org.uk which is NOT FF friendly.

But how would they fair against being slashdotted?

Do they have to register? Because in terms of good media/news coverage.... they are filth.
