Gentlemen, we got 20 calls about the David Hyde-Pierce incident. And as you know, one call equals a billion people, which means 20 billion people were offended by this

Maybe she should just swing it a big while tapping him and save us all a little trouble.
Nature is bountiful where idiots are concerned

No, they arent breasts, they're personalities, because its ok to like a girl for her personalities

It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man

"Microsoft technology has transformed business practices and his company has had a profound impact on the British economy."

Yup they sure have. The practice of having to blow big bucks on upgrading and the negetive impact when viruses disrupt business networks all over the country
When Steven Seagal kills a ninja, he only takes its hide. When Chuck Norris kills a ninja, he uses every part.

Chuck Norris and Mr. T walked into a bar. The bar was instantly destroyed, as that level of awesome cannot be contained in one building.

well in gate's defense he shoulda stopped at does... you cant get much more stable then that sucker
that alone was a significant contribution (and in my opinion) the best one MS has made to computing (other then perhaps perfecting the process of ripping other companies off and then relabling it and selling it as M$)

Well to be fair.... Gates bought DOS off of some guy so even that M$ didn't produce on their own... which explains why its so stable.

I guess when you have as much money as you do, you can buy a knighthood without any problems :P

MS did alot of editing to DOS before they sold it to IBM, and they didn't keep going back to that guy for further releases of DOS, they did it on their own...

Of course they would not have gone back to the guy. He was already thinking of suing M$ (again) due to their slightly shady practices. Going back for help would have only worsened their position in the trial.
