To prevent overdosage for the sensitive readers, please take your discussions to humorix-l@nl.linux.org... ---- Microsoft To Bundle Free Computers With Windows XP Fake News ~ September 2, 2001 The Humorix Vast Spy Network(tm) has obtained a leaked memo from deep within the bowels of Microsoft, which we've code-named the "Labor Day Document". This .doc file contains the not-so-top-secret pricing scheme for Windows XP that will be unveiled to the unsuspecting public next week. According to this memo, the price for Windows XP Home Supplicant Edition will be higher than most new computers. In order to entice customers to upgrade, Microsoft plans to bundle a free computer with each copy. Of course, Microsoft's definition of a "computer" may not be what you expect. These Personal Windows Appliances (PWA) will contain a WinModem, WinSoundCard, WinHardDrive, WinMathCoProcessor, WinSerialPort, WinPowerSupply, WinUSBPort, WinDIMM memory module, WinBIOS chip, WinBatteryPoweredClock, WinHeatSink, and of course a WinOffOnSwitch. The PWA case -- available in six "fruity" colors -- will include a built-in WinMonitor, WinSpeaker, and WinMicrophone. Naturally, the case is welded shut and any attempt to pry it open will activate the WinSelfDestructModule. The machine won't contain any floppy or CD-ROM drives because, well, why would anybody ever need to install any software that isn't pre-installed? The Labor Day Document states, "...any resemblance between the Microsoft PWA and the Apple iMac is strictly coincidental. We will definitely want the Marketing Department to constantly advertise that this is an original innovation..." The machine will include a 1.2 GHz Intel WinCPU, but because of all of the bundled soft-hardware, the machine will effectively run at a speed that might rival an 8086 4.77MHz system. However, the entire "appliance" will only cost $50 to build, a mere trifle compared to the MSRP of Windows XP. As an added incentive, the PWA version of XP won't contain mandatory registration or other anti-piracy features. The document explains, "It's physically impossible to make an unauthorized copy of Windows XP from one of these appliances. It doesn't have any disk drives... and nobody will ever attempt to upload a 20 gigabyte operating system through the machine's only Internet connection, a crippled 56K software modem." You've probably already figured out that this computer won't run Linux. At all. Everything is run from the CPU and requires the support of Windows. For instance, the bundled 60 gigabyte hard drive (20 GB reserved for Windows and the rest reserved for the swap file) doesn't contain any hardware circuitry -- the WinCPU directly controls the drive's heads and manually specifies when and were to write each and every one and zero. Even the fan and heat sink requires the direct intervention of the CPU to work. The CPU must execute a "SpinFan" instruction for each and every revolution of the fan's blades. Therefore, any attempt to install a non-Microsoft operating system will cause the machine to seize up like a rock and become a giant, oversized paper weight with large "Microsoft" logos plastered all over it. In the conclusion of the Labor Day Document, it says, "Microsoft has successfully cut off the air supply of Netscape. But with this initiative, we plan to cut off the power supply to every computer manufacturer!" Spokespersons for Dell, Compaq, Gateway, HP, and other soon-to-be-bankrupt OEMs were all unavailable for comment at press time. - Humorix: Linux and Open Source(nontm) on a lighter note Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/humorix/ Web site: http://www.i-want-a-website.com/about-linux/ From owner-humorix@nl.linux.org Sun Sep 9 23:54:20 2001 Received: (root@humbolt.nl.linux.org) by humbolt.nl.linux.org id ; Sun, 9 Sep 2001 23:54:13 +0200 Received: from sire.mail.pas.earthlink.net ([207.217.120.182]:18613 "EHLO sire.mail.pas.earthlink.net") by humbolt.nl.linux.org with ESMTP id ; Sun, 9 Sep 2001 23:53:54 +0200 Received: from ldd.net (mocape01-174.midwest.net [209.248.17.184]) by sire.mail.pas.earthlink.net (EL-8_9_3_3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id OAA21588 for ; Sun, 9 Sep 2001 14:53:37 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <3B9BE4F7.B13A6BEA@ldd.net> Date: Sun, 09 Sep 2001 16:53:59 -0500 From: James Baughn Organization: Humorix World Domination X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.07 [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.0.36 i586) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Humorix Mailing List Subject: [humorix] Dateline 2006: World Peace Established!

Jon Splatz September 9, 2006 Nuclear warheads sit in deserted silos. Military bases gather dust. Weapons factories and arsenals remain vacant. Radar sites monitor empty skies. World peace has been established. But at what cost? Every single man, woman, and child -- all 6.4 billion humans -- are now sitting behind bars worldwide because each of us violated some law, some where, some how. What a mess. For years I predicted a dystopic future where lawyers run amok: the Lawyerclysm. Little did I know that judges, prosecutors, and police officers would instead take control and make the grab for world domination, paving the way for the "Legalclysm", a term I just made up. Now I wish we hadn't killed all the lawyers back in 2002. If I had a good defense attorney, I never would have been convicted of drinking a beer and violating Taliban law. I wouldn't be sitting in an Afghanistan prison right now side-by-side with 4.2 billion other convicts. We all know how this mess first started. Some book-throwing judge decided that a Russian programmer could be incarcerated in the US for something that was perfectly legal in Russia. Then some lawsuit-happy judge decided that an American could be found guilty of violating Australian libel laws for something published on a US website. Things went downhill from there. The oppressive laws of Afghanistan, North Korea, and Cuba immediately became the de facto laws of the entire world. Drink a beer in Australia? Go to jail in Afghanistan. Create anti-circumvention software in Russia? Go to jail in California. Buy a replica Nazi officer's dagger from an eBay auction? Go to jail in France. Publish an "unregistered" political website in Canada? Go to jail in Singapore. Say something negative about Communism in an AOL chat room? Go to jail in North Korea. Smoke a joint in Amsterdam? Go to jail in Albuequerque. Have an abortion in the US? Go to jail in Germany. Engage in an extra-marrital affair with an intern? You don't even want to know what will happen in Afghanistan. Say something bad about Fidel Castro while working on the International Space Station? Get stuffed out the nearest airlock by special order of the dictator himself. Connect to the Internet with an unauthorized computer that doesn't contain "Digital Rights Management" hardware? Get the death penalty in California. And then go to jail in Afghanistan if you somehow survive. >From 2001 to 2006, every single person on the planet was arrested, deported, convicted, and sentenced. Semi-intelligent robots were created to man the farms, power plants, sewers, and handcuff factories. Unfortunately, these robots all use the Linux operating system. If they ran Windows, we could easily cause them to crash by chanting "C-colon-backslash-C-O-N-backslash-C-O-N". The human race could then rebel and escape while the robots reboot. But that won't work with Linux machines having an estimated uptime of thousands of years. We're doomed. Right now I'm sitting in a prison complex surrounded by 4.2 billion people from around the world convicted of violating Taliban law. Meanwhile, the rest of the world population is rotting away in North Korea, Cuba, Australia, Iran, China, or the United States. The human race is doomed. I'm carving this article into the walls of my cell. Maybe, just maybe, some future archeologist will discover this warning and alert his fellow ants, or cockroaches, or whales, or Venus fly-traps, to the awesome danger of a runaway legal system. Maybe the future sentient inhabitants of this planet will design their laws with some measure of common sense. But probably not. I suspect my English carvings will be undecipherable by the coming canine civilization (or whatever evolves next), but at least I'm trying. If only I could convert my prison cell's toilet into some kind of a time travel device and go back into the 20th Century and warn everybody about the coming Legalclysm... - Humorix: Linux and Open Source(nontm) on a lighter note Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/humorix/ Web site: http://www.i-want-a-website.com/about-linux/ From owner-humorix@nl.linux.org Sat Sep 15 04:14:26 2001 Received: (root@humbolt.nl.linux.org) by humbolt.nl.linux.org id ; Sat, 15 Sep 2001 04:14:07 +0200 Received: from epic.mail.pas.earthlink.net ([207.217.120.181]:27316 "EHLO epic.mail.pas.earthlink.net") by humbolt.nl.linux.org with ESMTP id ; Sat, 15 Sep 2001 04:13:44 +0200 Received: from ldd.net (mocape01-127.midwest.net [209.248.17.137]) by epic.mail.pas.earthlink.net (EL-8_9_3_3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id TAA21455 for ; Fri, 14 Sep 2001 19:13:29 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <3BA2B9C0.11AFC1D0@ldd.net> Date: Fri, 14 Sep 2001 21:15:28 -0500 From: James Baughn Organization: Humorix World Domination X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.07 [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.0.36 i586) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Humorix Mailing List Subject: [humorix] Crashback: World, Trade, Center Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-humorix@nl.linux.org Precedence: bulk Reply-To: humorix-l@nl.linux.org Return-Path: X-Envelope-To: <"|/bin/marchive -a -m -f /home/majordomo/public_html/humorix/folders/humorix"> (uid 0) X-Orcpt: rfc822;humorix-list ---- Warning: humorous content ahead.

To prevent overdosage for the sensitive readers, please take your discussions to humorix-l@nl.linux.org... ---- Microsoft Conspiracy Theory #16,777,216 Fake News ~ September 22, 2001 If it wasn't for Microsoft, the life of a conspiracy theorist would be extremely dull. The Humorix Vast Conspiracy Research Division(tm) has uncovered yet another Microsoft conspiracy that, as usual, makes excellent filler material. This time, the Redmondistas plan to acquire the Internet through the deployment of unscrupulous shrinkwrap license agreements. According to yet another spelling-inpaired unconfirmed rumor posted to Slashdot, certain versions of Microsoft FrontPage contain an EULA clause that prohibits using the software to bash Microsoft or promote "racism, hatred, or pornography". However, our research indicates that this is only the tip of the iceberg. All future versions of Microsoft products will contain this EULA 2.0. Moreover, the license agreement will only be provided in Word 2000 format, requiring users to accept the Word 2000 license before being able to read the Word 2000 license and any others. Of course, these EULAs will contains several megabytes of legalese in Flyspeck-Minus-3 font and will be completely undecipherable by all humans (but lawyers will be able to read it). So, Microsoft's conspiracy for world domination works like this: 1. Quietly infect all Microsoft products with EULA 2.0 that prohibits pornography. 2. Wait until porn websites deploy the new Microsoft products. 3. Sue the heck out of the porn websites for violating the EULA. 4. Acquire the doomed sites. 5. Since pornography is one of the few things on the Net that still makes money, Microsoft will vastly increase its revenue stream. 6. Monopolize all pornography worldwide. At this point, world domination is within Bill Gates' grasp because the typical man will do _anything_ to keep the naughty jpegs coming! It seems pretty clear that the Humorix Vast Conspiracy Research Division(tm) is on to something. After all, with all of the perverted things Microsoft has done so far, monopolizing pornography is not that far fetched. If you thought Microsoft's actions were obscene before, you ain't seen nothing yet! We should be afraid. Very afraid. - Humorix: Linux and Open Source(nontm) on a lighter note Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/humorix/ Web site: http://www.i-want-a-website.com/about-linux/ From owner-humorix@nl.linux.org Fri Sep 28 04:40:34 2001 Received: (root@humbolt.nl.linux.org) by humbolt.nl.linux.org id ; Fri, 28 Sep 2001 04:40:29 +0200 Received: from epic.mail.pas.earthlink.net ([207.217.120.181]:6548 "EHLO epic.mail.pas.earthlink.net") by humbolt.nl.linux.org with ESMTP id ; Fri, 28 Sep 2001 04:40:10 +0200 Received: from ldd.net (mocape01-34.midwest.net [209.248.17.44]) by epic.mail.pas.earthlink.net (EL-8_9_3_3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id TAA01720 for ; Thu, 27 Sep 2001 19:39:55 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <3BB3E2FB.9E2E0B22@ldd.net> Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2001 21:39:55 -0500 From: James Baughn Organization: Humorix World Domination X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.07 [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.0.36 i586) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Humorix Mailing List Subject: [humorix] Sircam Virus Fights Terrorism!

To prevent overdosage for the sensitive readers, please take your discussions to humorix-l@nl.linux.org... ---- Sircam Virus Fights Terrorism! (Says Microsoft) Fake News ~ September 27, 2001 The weasals in the Microsoft Marketing Department have done it again. Faced with yet another PR disaster following multiple virus outbreaks, the marketers have worked overtime to create one of the most fiendish spin campaigns ever. The Sircam Virus, according to a series of press releases spewed by Marketing, actually represents a useful law enforcement tool for catching suspected terrorists, child pornographers, baby killers, and (of course) evil hackers and pirates. Explained the Marketing Department's Vice President Of Spin Control, Mr. Seymour Hipe, "Sircam sends out random documents found in the victim's 'My Documents' folder. This provides an excellent law enforcement tool -- if somebody receives a top-secret terrorist plan in Word format, they can forward the document to the FBI&PV." While the FBI&PV has received well over 100,000 tips relating to the terrorist case, the Humorix Vast Spy Network(tm), after extensive research, has concluded that exactly zero of these tips have involved illicit documents sent by Sircam. This minor fact doesn't trouble Microsoft Marketing. Says Mr. Hipe, "Who knows what might happen in the future? What if the ringleader of the terrorist plot is caught because somebody happens to receive a document entitled 'Top Secret Plan To Destroy WTC As Envisioned By Osama Bid Laden'? Then what will you think of Microsoft's shoddy programming that easily allows anti-terrorism viruses to spread?" Another Microserf chimed in, "Let's not forget about other viruses! By bringing Windows servers to their knees, the Nimda virus prevents would-be terrorists from communicating using evil, diabolical encryption software. Meanwhile, Linux servers that stay up for years at a time provide a perfect platform for terrorist activities. Windows provides the kind of unstable, unreliable computing platform that helps to thwart terrorism, child pornography, baby killing, and music piracy. Linux does not."

Bernhard Rosenkraenzer, bero@redhat.de September 29, 2001 Since a couple of people (both our regular readers) have asked me what a job at Red Hat is like, I've decided to leak my diary to a member of the Humorix Vast Spy Network(tm) -- that'll probably be sufficient to make sure everyone will get the answer. 11:00 I wake up. After opening my eyes and forgetting about that Beowulf cluster of Athlon 3GHZs I dreamed of, I notice I'm still in the office. Good, no need to waste time on the road... 11:01 I notice the plant in the office badly needs water. Since I'm way too lazy to stand up this early in the morning, I open Bugzilla. Since there's no "Office" component, I report the "Plant needs water" issue (Priority: high, Severity: high) in the "KOffice" component, and hope nobody will mind the K. 11:03 While there, I check for new bugs I should handle. 10 new bug reports... Once more, I miss the "Closed: FIXITYOURSELF", "Closed: IDONTCARE" and "Closed: YOUARESTUPID" buttons. 11:04 Read new bug #1, a kdebase bug... "I have downloaded kdebase-2.2.tar.bz2 from your ftp server. It doesn't install. Windows keeps asking me which program it shall use to open .bz2 files." I REALLY want that "Closed: GOBUYABRAIN" button in Bugzilla... But since we don't have it, I simply decide that the problem is obviously that this guy is using the wrong kernel -- I reassign the bug to the kernel developers. 11:06 I decide to check my mail next - maybe the message stating Microsoft has been shut down and Bill Gates will spend the rest of his life in prison will finally arrive today? 11:07 12000 new messages! Mostly from mailing lists, except for a couple of messages telling me how to make money fast, save on long distance calls, and how to waste the savings generated by the previous two offers by looking at someone's "hot pix", and reminding me I've signed up to receive these announcements from somewebsiteiveneverheardabout aboutsomethingimnotatallinterestedin.com and, of course, that if I've changed my mind, I'll be removed from the list at no cost to me by sending a message to all-lists-request@spammers.com with "subscribe" in the subject. 11:08 I check Netcraft's records on that spammer's site -- great, they're running Red Hat Linux... I drop a message to its owner stating we've discovered a security bug in the Red Hat Linux release he's using, ask him to send the contents of a file called /etc/shadow to redhat-list@redhat.com (that public mailing list should look official enough) so we can verify whether or not his system is affected, and to run rpm -ivh http://www.scriptkiddie.org/rootkit-1.0-1.i386.rpm to make sure the problem doesn't get exploited in the mean time. 11:10 Time to get on to real work. I start hacking on my favorite applications. 01:50 Done! The other routing work (mostly minor, but important changes, such as adding "Obsoletes: emacs" to the vim spec file) aside, I've extended the package "foo" by adding complete networking support, a KDE frontend, and while at it, rewriting large parts of the codebase. Since we're in a feature freeze, I translate the related changelog entries to my favorite locale, en_CL (English, Changelog variant): "- Fix a vital bug" and push the package to the build servers. 02:00 I'm starting to get tired... time to take a look at slashdot... Not many surprises here -- right below the pgp.com ad banner, there's a report about Bush outlawing all encryption, using rot13 (or even rot26) is now a federal crime in the US, and OSes supporting any type of encryption are banned. Community reactions range from "First post" to links to goatse.cx, as usual. The link for further information (www.microsoft.gov) is, as usual, down. Since there's nothing I can do about it, I'm simply glad that I live in the free world and decide to go home. 02:40 I finally arrive. My apartmentmate greets me with a friendly "[root@locutus /root]# " (Ok, I admit it's a strange hostname... It's there for a pretty good reason: I hoped this box (a Pentium II) would assimilate the various 486es under the bed and in the bathroom. Unfortunately, this has yet to happen.) I can't resist a friendly greeting like that (now who said geeks are socially inept???), so I sit down and feed it with the latest updates and a couple of new hacks I've come up with on the way home. 10:00 I finally get to bed... 11:00 Start over, with only minor differences... - Humorix: Linux and Open Source(nontm) on a lighter note Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/humorix/ Web site: http://www.i-want-a-website.com/about-linux/
