Dude, it's a joke :) TheOnion.com is a joke site... :D :D :D :D

LOL, that cracked me up. The way the article is written, it makes you think you're reading some drivel from ZDNet. And especially the picture of Bill Gates addressing the Apple board of directors. LOL :D

"All your one and zero are belong to us!" - Sorry, couldn't resist. :D

It's fake? I've already spread the word. O'Well...

It'll probably take a few more than that to escape this embarrassing moment.... :D

Ha, I wont even slap you for that.
hands Opiate another beer
We all have our days :D

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA That's pretty damn funny!!!! He thought Microsoft would actually be able to patent all 0's and 1's! hehehehehe. It's ok Opiate. We've all been fooled once before.

Well, all I can say in Opiate's defense is: If any company was gonna try to make a buck off of 1's and 0's.......

Most certantly a joke, no need to chastize opiate. Leave Mouse Man alone 100101101110

gotta love THE ONION. One of my favorite sites. Opiate - Don't worry about it, it's the holidays. We're all stressed and a little "OFF" I'm sure. At least I am.

just a side note on THE ONION. they have hysterical t-shirts that read either AREA MAN or AREA WOMEN on the front of a white T. (as in Area man arrested and charged . . .)
hysterical if you ask me.

I thought something was kinda fishy about that site. I always thought their story's were great but wondered why no one else had heard or read about them.

3 More hours of work then I'm headed home to meet my 6 pack. Then if I haven’t passed out by the time my girlfriend shows up I may have a conversation followed by nap. :cool:

oh my god that's funny. I can't say anything else. This post has been funny. From the link to people taking it seriously......just funny. :D

Its ok..


hehe...Its not to late to retract your statement. :)

I would go for the hard stuff.

Depends, can i have the other 4?

Nicely done Opiate. Kind of reminds me of the time I walked through my school 100% butt naked.

(I didn't know my undies were still in my jeans, it was a sports lesson thing... :o ) 16 years later I still bear the purple scar of embarrasment.

There are more embarrasing things. I've heard of people quoting the Onion in support of their beliefs that Harry Potter is a corrupting influence on children. :D Poor simple people just miss the humor.

Hey, watch it! You owe Microsoft $1.20 for that!!!!

D'oh! I owe them another .20c... I mean .30c... I mean... damn!!! :D

Well how about that! At least ElBatcho will still be a millionaire.

As with every Onion article, there is always a grain of truth in it...


P.S. I have the perfect solution, by the way, provided to us by the world's hackers. We replace all of the ones and zeros with the letters I and O. That would work, wouldn't it? :D :D :D

<a href="http://www-rcf.usc.edu/~mneder/links.html" target="_blank">As always, theonion is a great site to waste many hours at. Note: some people don't seem to understand that this is NOT a serious news source. These people frighten me. </a>


I couldn't have said it better myself

Heh heh...don't worry about it, Opiate. As my mom would say, "I hope that's the worst thing you ever do...." :)
