6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light.

i saw another thread where Choyak and other people were speaking about Micro$oft who wanted to drive your car. It's really hilarous too

If Windows 98 were a car, the Blue Screen of Death would have a whole new meaning...

At the risk of being labelled a killjoy (or whatever you kids are calling it these days), this is SNOPED.

I know it's humor, I only post this because of all the people saying it's 'true'. I know they probably meant true as in 'I can totally relate to that', but it's not actually something that happened.

Plus, 1997 is 'recently' only in geological terms, that's how long this has been making the rounds.

bill gates was demonstrating the new version of windows they were using to plan the battle against canada and it crashed. The general went on saying "you promised that the new verison of windows was going to be faster and more stable...." and then shot him! taking the **** out of the usual rant that the windows installer plays while it installs.

Well, it's interesting that that is the gist of it, especially in light of the fact that the Navy has mandated that all of its boomers (nuclear-launching submarines) run Linux as their base OS INSTEAD of the Windows versions they were using. Can you imagine the fallout (pun intended) if there was a possible launch condition, and then the damned sub's computers crashed just as they would have received an abort launch order?

BTW, I know it's off-topic, but it's been a while since I peeked in here, and I just noticed the new emoticons, including the bouncing anime chick! How cool is that, to get your avatar immortalized as a freaking emoticon?!?!
