Erotica Found Within Microsoft Office Install

ThinSkin writes "Leave it to the Swedes to discover erotica stored within an earlier version of Microsoft's Office XP suite. According to the security group, a default installation of Word and PowerPoint contain a love letter from "Bill" and a photo of Alyssa Milano as one of the templates. Microsoft discovered this problem a while ago and included a patch within Service Pack 2. Microsoft has done a pretty good job keeping this under wraps and has refused to comment on the matter."

Slashdot's gathering all the April Fool's gag from over the net. Beats searching for them yourself.

Re:To Many April Fools Jokes!

Or writing them yourself.

Another April Fools joke? I thought it was the first compelling reason to upgrade.

I thought it was the first compelling reason to upgrade.

Careful, given their definition of 'treating the users properly', their definition of 'erotica' just might involve Goatse.

(Oh, great, I just made myself sick. Think of a funny Microsoft joke, think of a funny Microsoft joke, think of... nope, nothing. I'll just link to one [bandwidththeater.com]. Contains a naughty word. Wear headphones. Or soundproof the house.)

better Alysa..

[chalkoutline]

At least it wasn't those photos of Bill in that magazine. Jeeze.. I still have nightmares.

Um..

[Noxal]

This is getting really freaking annoying.

Re:Um..

[halivar]

This is getting really freaking annoying.

The only thing that annoys me every April Fool's are all the retards that visit /. knowing it will piss them off, getting pissed off (as they expected), and making sure the whole world knows they're pissed off by going to the extra trouble of clicking the stupid link and posting.

Well, we get it. You're pissed off. Now please piss off.

Thank you.

Re:Um..

[LokieLizzy]

Stop saying piss so much. I've already used up my bathroom breaks for the month.

Re:Um..

[dannannan]

You sound pissed off!

Re:Um..

[sumdumass]

hey.. why did the condom fly across the room?

it got pissed off.

sorry but i had to.

piss piss piss

[Mr. Underbridge]

Well, we get it. You're pissed off. Now please piss off.

And head to the pub to get pissed.

Re:Um..

[ashot]

hey, folks, thats funny.

Re:Um..

[Neop2Lemus]

Now don't lets all throw a pissy-fit.

Stop reading the posts

[popo]

You'll miss the next story which will be here in .01 seconds!

Re:Stop reading the posts

[xtapalapaquetl]

With /. quality the way it is, don't be suprised if by this time next year, CmdrTaco has another job.

Nothing for you to see here. Please move along.

[artifex2004]

Dang it, that's what I get for browsing from a patched machine...

(fp)

Re:Nothing for you to see here. Please move along.

[st1d]

Regardless, I'm not so sure "civilians" is the best word for people who tend to walk around with ak-47's slung over their shoulder...

Join the cause!

[antikarma]

In protest of the April Fools insanity, I am replying to all news items with the following... Nothing for you to see here, please move along.

Re:Join the cause!

[Anonymous Coward]

Or you could pry yourself away from /. for one day.

You could try masturbating. That's a popular hobby.

Go fuck yourself. Seriously.

I wonder if..

[Tony Hoyle]

you can have so much negative information you form a kind of singularity where not even CmdrTaco can escape?

Re:I wonder if..

[AEton]

There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

It's all clear now.

[The Spoony]

So that's why my brother has been spending an ungodly amount of time on his "research paper".

LOL enough already

[laxiepoo]

Decent gag though =)

Stop the Madness!

[cybercobra]

But honestly, how much bandwidth and how many cpu cycles have these jokes wasted?

compared to...

[BayBlade]

...the normal amount of bandwith and CPU cycles this site wastes?

I'd say negligible.

Re:compared to...

[sumdumass]

Waistes is a reletive term. If it is avalible and not being used does that constitute waiste? If it is being used, does the content/entertainment value make it waisted?

I see your point. Maybe if you were paying by the cycle or bit transmited. Outside of that i think nothign would be waisted if some type of content was provided. Even if i didn't agree with the content.

OK

[imsabbel]

With this decrease of time between stories, in about 25 minutes the universe will melt because of a division by zero in slashdot HQ.
And we all will be happy....

This is news?

[AndroidCat]

There's a flight sim and a FPS in Excel and Word, and the Leisure Suit Larry knock-off in Outlook. No biggy.

Long live April 1st!

[iehnll]

Everyone is bashing all of the April Fool's jokes, but I actually find them entertaining. It's not like the normal tech news is all that urgent for you to read. I enjoy the hilarious, far fetched articles. KEEP 'EM COMIN'!

Re:Long live April 1st!

[fm6]

They're entertaining up to a point. But after the 20th bogus story it begins to wear a little thin.

The best April Fool gags make it a little difficult to figure out that you're being kidded. Not possible when somebody throws a whole bunch of them at you at once.

10 minutes to go

[DavW]

In 10 minutes it will be past midday everywhere in the world, and this madness can stop.

Oh No. M$ is Taking Over

[cainpitt]

Microsoft is going to take over pr0n now too? I knew it was called longhorn for a reson.

Re:Oh No. M$ is Taking Over

[smileaf]

No that is why XP was nicknamed eXtra Porn ;)

Control

[bogaboga]

Some control and discretion is needed here. I mean, I even do not know which story to believe on April Fools! I think this is getting out of hand.

Guys, it's already April 2nd over here. I am sure our colleagues in the US/Canada can still enjoy these jokes if they are. What the hell...Oh, I better sleep otherwise slashdot will make me run amok.

Something is up.

[northcat]

Ok, something is up with these April Fools jokes. Like slashdot has been hacked, or the editors are playing a joke on us, or SOMETHING. People just can't be such big idiots. It's biologically impossible.

Re:Something is up.

[s-orbital]

You obviously dont live here in the states then.

Stop feeding the editors meth

[ithicine]

I can't handle RSS-Grab scrolling by this fast.

I can't ignore the articles no matter how hard I try.

Please, think of the children.

If you don't like it..

[kryptkpr]

.. then don't visit Slashdot today! Close your web browser. Do something else.

Which articles are fake, and which are real? Easy: they're all fake.

(With the possible exception of the 2GB Gmail thing.. not infinity+1 though)

Re:Can you say slander?

[Anonymous Coward]

The owner of Alyssa Milano's management company is a good friend of mine. I just sent him a copy of the complete garbage that was posted here. I hope he completely fucks the idiots that run this site.

That's funny, because Alyssa Milano's manager is her mom [safesearching.com]. :-P

32nd post

[Anonymous Coward]

32nd post! Woot!!!

Smoove B!

[Samurai Cat!]

If you click on the article link and read the "love letter" within... obviously the author was inspired by The Onion :D

lol, nobody is even posting

[dnoyeb]

I have never seen such incredible low posting as I am seeing today. Its an uprising!

Gates stuff

[nullportal]

This is minor stuff compared to what really appeared in Apple instruction books in the 80s. They had a lame joke about how your floppy disk usually comes in black vinyl, not black leather. Like I really need S&M references when I'm trying to figure out why the farking machine isn't doing what it is supposed to. Apple deserved to become 2nd place in computing.
