<..MSFT "not interested" in acquiring telephone companies:..> I saw that, and it MAY well apply to spectrum auctions as well. Guess we'll know soon enough. And a bit more levity (from the "net") in these levitous times (for nerdy Pink Floyd fans): ================= The Internet Oracle has pondered your question deeply. Your question was: O masterifrivorubiquitious Oracle, What did they mean "Dork side of the Moon"? And in response, thus spake the Oracle: Pathetic geeks are in the lab Pathetic geeks are in the lab They're playing "Quake" and hacking "Perl" and "C" Got to keep the cola flowing free Pathetic geeks are in the house Pathetic geeks are in my house The paper trays are spilling docos on the floor And every day the FSF writes more And if your script terminates many lines too soon And if compilers trample on your stack And if your disk overflows with 8 Meg coredumps too I'll see you on the dork side of the moon Six hundred lines of crufty code Six hundred lines of crufty code You mount the disk, you parse the list You crash and burn until I'm pissed You hog the core And threaten sanity Someone could maintain this code, but it ain't me And if your newsfeed dumps some spam into your spool And if you write in COBOL like a fool And if your boss says "Make it run on Win NT" I'll see you on the dork side of the moon
