Above jokes were taken from: http://archive.salon.com/21st/chal/1998/02/10chal2.html




Those jokes remind me of:


There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire become a great writer.

When asked to define “great” he said, “I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, howl in pain and anger!”

He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages.




WINDOWS XP ERROR MESSAGES


This one is cool:


A few of the new error messages that were taken under consideration during the development of the Windows XP operating system...

• Smash forehead on keyboard to continue.

• Press any key to continue or any other key to quit.

• BREAKFAST.SYS halted... Cereal port not responding.

• Close your eyes and press escape three times.

• File not found. Should I fake it? (Y/N)

• Runtime Error 6D at 417A:32CF: Incompetent User.


• Enter any 11-digit prime number to continue.

• Bad command or file name! Go stand in the corner.

• Windows message: "Error saving file! Format drive now? (Y/Y)"

• Windows VirusScan 1.0 - "Windows found: Remove it? (Y/N)"

A Free Headache! & Linux jokes / Linux Windows Jokes 
Thursday, June 5, 2008, 03:14 PM - Fun
Hi all,

I just came across a very interesting signature by PatrickNew a registered Linux User #431850 at http://counter.li.org/.


The Signature:



Somebody told me that linux was just a headache.
So here's our choices:
A) a $200 headache
B) a free headache
hrmm...





[edit]

The nice thing about Windows is - It does not just crash, it displays a dialog: "Unknown Error!"


- Aniruddha

[edit]

How many Microsoft executives does it take to change a light bulb?

1) 1001. One to install the new bulb, plus one thousand lawyers to assert intellectual property rights over every light bulb ever invented.
2) Microsoft doesn't change light bulbs. It declares Darkness (TM) the new standard.

[edit]
after Nisha's comment:
nishas comment
ha ha ha ha ha

PLEASE SOME ONE TELL ME the below thing is A FACT OR A JOKE.....ha ha ha ha


Its being heard that the upcoming version of Microsoft Windows named Windows 7 (formerly known as Blackcomb and Vienna) is going to use a highly modified version of the Linux Kernel 2.6.24.4

Aniruddha's reply

microsoft can not bring in Any GPL v3 material into their products because GPL V.3 is supposedly a viral License as whenever somebody uses the gpl v3 material, all the product should go GPL!
So, if microsoft wants to
use linux kernel (which is under gpl v2) it can safely use it but no other v3 software at all. In gpl v2 case also they will have to open their own code too.

BTW
I don't know the fact about that if microsoft really is going to go that way. But, their new product windows 7 is a modified version of vista as they say.

Anyways... I got to get in touch with Windows 7 before its launch (Its not launched yet as of 20'th Nov. 2008). They have got pretty cool GUI (Seems to be a diluted version of the beautiful linux desktop enlightenment).
Although it is so, it is a bit more user friendly (If the user is not a dumb.) than its predecessor Vista.

But not as cool as Enlightenment / Compiz based desktops itself

I hope, this will help someone

Foolscape:  
Wednesday, April 9, 2008, 12:31 PM - Fun

Hey guys,

When I read this quote "Power does not corrupt men; fools, however, if they get into a position of power, corrupt power. George Bernard Shaw."

I thought, George Bernard Shaw would not have thought of the another George: George Bush!! Also, he must be using The word "Fool" by some other meaning.

Why?? just go through the quotes and you will come to know why!
:WINK:

---------------------------------------------------
And there's no doubt in my mind, not one doubt in my mind, that we will fail.
George W Bush

Do you have blacks, too.
George W Bush, to Brazilian President Fernando Cardoso

Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream.
George W Bush

For every fatal shooting, there were roughly three non-fatal shootings. And, folks, this is unacceptable in America. It's just unacceptable. And we're going to do something about it.
George W Bush

General…I can't name the general.
George W Bush, when asked to name President of Pakistan

I have opinions of my own, strong opinions, but I don't always agree with them.
George W Bush

I know how hard it is to put food on your family.

I promise you I will listen to what has been said here, even though I wasn't here.
George W Bush

I recently met with the finance minister of the Palestinian Authority, was very impressed by his grasp of finances.

George W Bush

I think war is a dangerous place.
George W Bush

I understand small business growth. I was one.
George W Bush


I wish I wasn't the war president. Who in the heck wants to be a war president? I don't.
George W Bush


I'm not a very good novelist. But it'd make a pretty interesting novel.
George W Bush

If the terriers and bariffs are torn down, this economy will grow.
George W Bush

If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier - so long as I'm the dictator.
George W Bush


I'm also not very analytical. You know I don't spend a lot of time thinking about myself, about why I do things.
George W Bush


I'm the master of low expectations.
George W Bush



I am a person who recognizes the fallacy of humans.
George W Bush


I'm the commander - see, I don't need to explain - I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being President.

New words added in the Dictionary 
Wednesday, January 9, 2008, 08:01 AM - Fun
After India's test series in Australia, two new words are added in the dictionary:


Bucknor: (n) (adj)

1. Temporary blindness leading to missing out on the obvious.
2. To be at the wrong place at the wrong time.
3. Situations leading to grave judgmental errors.
Usage: I feel bucknored by my boss; Life often throws a bucknor at you.

Benson: (n) (adj)
1. Something that legitimises a severe bucknor.
Usage: First they bucknored me and then they bensoned it! I am toast.

He replied to the mail which I had sent to a lot of friends notifying about the updated article.
