violated....


This is a true story, this happened only minutes ago....

Me and some coworkers were chillin at my house and one fellow wanted to chat to his buddies on msn. I told him about gaim and told him I would have to set up his account and he couldn't remember his username so I had to use Konq to get to www.msn.com.

After msn I hit the home button to get to my local filesystem and it just refreshed www.msn.com. I tried the home button again and it did the same. After six times I realized that it was taken over by M$

jeez.....

OMFG!!!! Cold shower and a lava rock are the only things that can get that out, trust me.



D00d, that's horrible though, you should send them hate-mail.

Cool

That's what you get when you dabble with the Dark Side.

Oh no! How could Microsoft do such a thing ?

Better called Disease Control, your system has been contaminated.
Soon, you will be seeing Blue screens and colored butterflies.

A recent convo between me, our UNIX admin and a portfolio administration accossiate (read - USER). PAA looks at my UNIX workstation (well at the screen basically) and I see he is about to scratch his head - I am running AfterStep with bunch of ssh sessions open on Eterms. First question:
"Ha, a DOS-junkie, right?" My hair on back is getting spiky, me: "No it isn't DOS, it isn't windows either" I am trying to flow away from UNIX discussion b/c I see it ain't gonna happen. Now my opponent is about to burst, the reaction is so fast that I almost missed: "It is a Solaris workstation - UNIX not windows" Our UNIX admin who sits in the cubicle across gets intimidated, and comes over. PAA: "What's that?" now our admin tries to explain that this is a different oerating system, and that windows and UNIX are not even in the same sport category. The convo flew over the icons and how they are important from the USER perspective and I made a mistake by opening up Opera from an Eterm. Guess what is set to my home page - right LQ. I could see, no I could feel the PAA frustration, he went from pale to pink in a matter of miliseconds. "This is not the Internet Explorer, is it Netscape?" (You know there're two browsers Internet Explorer and other which happens to be Netscape). I am silent, and carnage continues: "It is not the Netscape either, are you on the internet?" I couldn't speak any longe, so Jason (UNIX admin) took over, and went ahead and explained what it was. After PAA left we still for the long time tried to figure out what it was, and what Microsoft has done to people mind, and then it is obvious what Bill Gates set as his goal - dumb people to the degree where you can turn them into zombies and took over the rest of the computer market.
The End.
