uTube.com Business Stalled by YouTube Purchase Hype 202

Posted by timothy from the series-of-goo-filled-tubes dept.
prostoalex writes "Google's acquisition of online video sharing site YouTube.com resulted in massive traffic headed to uTube.com, "the number one supplier of used Tube & Pipe equipment in the world!", according to the site. CNN Money reports: "The company, which sells used machinery for making tubes to clients worldwide, has seen its site utube.com knocked off line by millions of online searchers looking for video site. "It's killing us," said Ralph Girkins, president and owner of the 22-year-old business. "All my worldwide reps use our Web site. Customers all over the world use it to bring up photos of the machinery, descriptions and specifications there."""

New printers suck when they are unpacked and the USB2.0 A To B lead has to be purchased separately, and you're fresh out. Why don't they (H.P.) put that %£$%()^*$)( on the %^*($)ing box?

Journal Journal: RM Connect 3

Journal by berenixium

It's sooo easy and funny to make mistakes in this piece of &%*%(@ school middle-ware, its funny. It's even funnier when Connect3's directory structure gets f00ked up and you watched it happen, even though you weren't responsible. Going on to watch admin staff run around like headless chickens because RM charge the earth to service Crap 3, and there's no cover because my employers can't afford it and the 'experts' have no idea how to fix it, is something that would make a good sketch

Journal Journal: Slashdot Pricks vs. SCO 2

Journal by MjDascombe
Enjoy this comment. It's an island of tranquility - the only place on the entire internet that isn't ranting on aimless, and cluelessly, with aguments of varying degrees of stupidity about the SCO vs. Linux 'debate'.

Oh, goddamit

P.S. How exactly do you have a debate when one person refuses to talk? The linux community is schitzo, and I always knew it.

Journal Journal: Slashdot Pricks vs. Reasonable OS choices

Journal by MjDascombe
Ok, I know this post is designed to hook people like me into ranting about it, but I'm going to bite anyway. I know it's a joke, but it's wrong on more levels than the author intended.

To imply that somehow the slowing of development of Linux is the wish of Satan kind of implies that the continuation of Linux is the wish of God. For fucks sake, hasnt anyone got a grip on reality any more?

Have we become such a bunch of pro-linux, anti-MS cretins that we dont even read the articles any more?

I mean, this guy is knocking Microsofts new language, F#, which on it's own is perfectly valid. However, when the means of his attack are that Microsoft languages are MS-centric, and should not be encouraged for teaching, especially at universities, he shows off what a prick he evidently is.
