Re: EA stats server comprimised??

maybe if you looked in the forums it was an april fools joke

Yeah... caught that. Was actually trying to rabble rouse a bit. It got me at first, but I caught on. Was hoping there'd be more of a flap about it.

Me stats are fine and some of the folks 'round here are just too damned fast.

This thread is pointless now... lock time?

NewEgg to buy Dell

During an unusually long night of drinking, an unreliable acquaintance of a TG Daily reporter's neighbor was heard to slur, "NewEgg just bought Dell!" This publication immediately contacted NewEgg and spoke with the operator at its regional headquarters in Paramaribo, Suriname.

The language barrier was, at first, an issue, but once we decided to ignore the complications of trying to understand what was being said, we were able to get the following quotes from NewEgg's spokeswoman in Suriname:

"Dell was a nice target for us. They just spend an awful lot of time putting their name on stuff that we can get out of Asia with super cool names like Xion, and Atrix. All that extra branded packaging and materials Dell makes is not good for the environment. We just box it and ship it. It's, like, way simple, dude.


Ooh, and we can sell Alienware to Falcon Northwest because, like, it ain't that difficult to build your own high performance PC. You don't need a bunch of UFO fanatics to figure it out for you, and you don't need a couple of suits and a CMO to realize that if you put four graphics cards together in a PC it's going to be worth more than one. We sell lots of graphics cards. I mean, lots!

The toilet on the third floor in accountancy is blocked and I can't get maintenance to fix it, but I don't see why it is my job to sort it out. I have to go help my sister at six tonight, and that means I have to catch the five fifteen bus downtown. I have to go, really."

A Dell source would only speak to us on condition of anonymity, "I have been waiting for years for someone to figure out how to order computer stuff online and get it shipped out to them directly. I knew that the jig was going to be up sometime, sooner or later. It really is a load off my mind. I spent a long time feeling like a fraud. A really, really, really rich fraud, but hey, that's life. Anyhow, NewEgg is welcome to take the whole damn thing. I'm rich - did I say that already - and it's time I finally went into medicine, just like the family wanted me to. You think I can buy Harvard? I don't want to go anywhere really cheap, and mess up my suits. I have a lot of suits. I mean, lots!"

Many corporate users, however, are feeling a little concerned about the purchase. The Institute of Information Executives (IIE) put out an official bulletin to its members asking for guidance on formulating a response to NewEgg. The bulletin asks the IIE's membership to offer their opinions on the impact of neon case mods in the workplace, and the efficacy of dual screen set-ups for B&W2. An IIE spokesperson told TG Daily that the organization is afraid that individuality, and designs that don't include beige as their overriding theme, will creep into the workplace making it almost impossible for IT departments to wear non-techies down.

In further news, one notorious, lovelorn online hack has offered to tour Dell's facilities, write an article about it, and to offer his services to China in formulating a strategy that will make it almost impossible for anyone from Tom's Hardware to ever have access to any hardware from anywhere at any time. China is giving his suggestions serious thought.

Post acquisition, NewEgg/Dell will be called KaChing Booyah. We will bring you more news on this acquisition as it breaks.

And this one:

IEEE shuts down all WLAN standards groups

Tim Higgins

April 1, 2006 17:27



The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) today announced it was disbanding all standards-making activities related to wireless networking technologies.

In making the announcement, IEEE P802.11 Working Group chair Stuart W.M. Worry said, "All good things must come to an end, and so must activities that are essentially futile. While I will miss the junkets to exotic locations and the excitement of watching the standards-making process in action, it's time to focus our energies on more achievable activities, such as health care reform."


The announcement seemed to surprise many industry watchers and even companies involved in the process. "I'm shocked, simply shocked, that such a thing could happen," said Craig Rolex, President and CEO of Airgo Networks. "I really had no idea that anyone was unhappy with how the process was going", he added.

But the wireless networking industry seems to be rapidly moving through its grieving process into acceptance, and showing the can-do attitude and cooperation that has served it well in the past. Industry leaders Cisco and Intel have already volunteered to form an industry consortium that has been tentatively named WEWON (Wireless Efficiency With Opposition Neutralized). The companies say they plan to apply many of the business processes that have served them well to the process of establishing wireless LAN standards that give all participants a chance to compete on an equal footing.

Many details remain to be worked out, but a mission statement of "All your wireless belongs to us" has already been agreed upon, along with the consortium's founding date of April 1.

So it seems that they decided to fill their website with non-sense on April.

damn it they are so stupid.

Re: EA stats server comprimised??

I hacked the site.
I'm no slouch. I hold the record for hacking the apple with an intel chip OS. I also proved that starforce crashed and messed up people's computers to the creators of starforce and they agreed with me.
