You know, all you had to do was check the Yellow Pages for the Sutter Buttes/Tarantula Junction exchange, and there right under the "World Domination, Evil Genetic Engineering Consultants" heading was this listing:
"Tarantek: Your one-stop source for mutants, clones, evil world domination schemes, improbability manipulation and 'unapproved' research. Arachnids our specialty. We're also California's largest wholesaler of Chia Pets. We take MasterCard, Discover Card and VISA."

..but I run an advertising agency that uses "free replacements" (on Linux) and am today wrapping up my fourth high-quality print project of the young year and a Website upgrade. Just for your edification, GIMP's had a very good CMYK export plugin for several years now, and I'll put my print portfolio up against anyone's.
And somewhere in that mess, someone was enjoying some porno only to have their fantasy broken by the defensive line of the Cardinals.

The quote is "DOS isn't done until Lotus won't run," as told to Pulitzer-prize-winning investigative reporter James Wallace by a Microsoft developer while Wallace was doing interviews gathering material for the book Hard Drive: Bill Gates and the Making of the Microsoft Empire:
From one review of the book:
According to one Microsoft programmer, a few of the key people working on DOS 2.0 had a saying at the time that "DOS isn't done until Lotus won't run." They managed to code a few hidden bugs into DOS 2.0 that caused Lotus 1-2-3 to breakdown when it was loaded. "There were as few as three or four people who knew this was being done," the employee said. He felt the highly competitive Gates was the ringleader.
The Kremlin had a term for people like you back during the Soviet era: "useful idiot."
According to what I'm reading on the forums, folks who have done this report that their Zunes freeze again as soon as they attempt to resync to their computers.
Windows Mobile is everywhere.
You're joking, right? Are we talking about the same Windows Mobile that got its doors blown off in the mobile market by OS X on the iPhone in a mere two quarters?

Really MS has long worked closely their customers and partners.
I'm thinking you've got a couple of words transposed there: "Really MS has long closely worked their customers and partners."
