The best pranks i've seen were the joke program that screams "hey come here and look at this, I'm watching pron" and few minutes of running and the other was a progam put into the autoexec.bat and did the following on boot up....
it sounded a couple of beeps then displayed the following text very slowly...
"Water detected in the computer
Please wait....
Spin dry cycle starting"
At which point the floppy disk drive was powered up slowly until it reached at top speed and held it there for a few seconds.
then a few more bits of text followed saying that it was now dry and useable.
the early noisy drives were best, i think this was around about DOS 2 or 3.
But he's also proved he's a crap journalist as he didn't check all the facts - he is obviously swayed by men in suits

Is unison still supported in any way? According to its website, it seems a little confusing. I'm not sure when this quote was written.
"Unison is no longer under active development as a research project. (Our research efforts are now focused on a follow-on project called Harmony, described at http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/harmony.) At this point, there is no one whose job it is to maintain Unison, fix bugs, or answer questions.
However, the original developers are all still using Unison daily. It will continue to be maintained and supported for the foreseeable future, and we will occasionally release new versions with bug fixes, small improvements, and contributed patches."
"Then he has stolen it, no different than if he had carried those weapons in to the Quik-E-Mart and pointed them at Apu. "
All property ownership is theft, it just started earlier than our lifetimes - the bigger (or bigger gang) you were, the more "entitled" you were to stake your claim for land. Nomads are the only true people that respect that the land belongs to all the people.
"they turned to me and claimed it's a site issue and not a browser issue."
So whats your problem - they say its not a Browser issue, its a site issue. Could you prove it was not a site problem?
Do want them to rewrite Opera for a site that is not standards compliant? Just because FF works doesn't mean the site is W3C compliant.

1) Any kind of idiot who thinks being an idiot is cool, smashes things/people up for fun, usually a complete meal short of a picnis when it somes to social niceties.

They have a created a Ver2 patch based on patch Ver1 of this.EXE, and it's targetted to a specific set of users, what happens if they need a Ver3 patch later on in the year? Which version do they patch (Ver1 or Ver 2 or both) and send out? Are they going to create Ver3 from Ver2 on the assumption that the Ver2 will not create any problems for those still using Ver1 (i.e. those not part of this targetted release of Ver2).
