I saw the same joke about Windows 95, back in 1996, in the rec.humor.funny
newsgroup.  See http://www.netfunny.com/rhf/jokes/96q1/parody.html.

I guess that variants keep cropping up, as new Windows and/or Lord-of-the-

off-topic funny joke

2004-01-19 Thread Ben-Nes Michael
** if you try this for real, you may damage your microwave or disk ***

Recently one of my friends, a computer wizard, paid me a visit. As we were
talking I mentioned that I had recently installed Windows XP on my PC. I
told him how
happy I was with this operating system and showed him the Windows XP CD. To
my surprise he threw it into my microwave oven and turned it on. Instantly I
got very
upset, because the CD had become precious to me, but he said: "Do not worry,
it is unharmed."

After a few minutes he took the CD out, gave it to me and said: "Take a
close look at it."

To my surprise the CD was quite cold to hold and it seemed to be heavier
than before. At first I could not see anything, but on the inner edge of the
central hole I saw
an inscription, an inscription finer than anything I had ever seen before.
The inscription shone piercingly bright, and yet remote, as if out of a
great depth:

12413AEB2ED4FA5E6F7D78E78BEDE820945092OF923A40EElOE5 IOCC98D444AA08EI324 "I
cannot understand the fiery letters," I said in a timid voice.

"No but I can," he said. "The letters are Hex, of an ancient mode, but the
language is that of Microsoft, which I shall not utter here. But in common
English this is what it
says:

"'One OS to rule them all, One OS to find them, One OS to bring them all and
in the darkness bind them.' "It is only two lines from a verse long known in
System-lore:

"'Three OS's from corporate-kings in their towers of glass, Seven from
valley-lords where orchards used to grow, Nine from dotcoms doomed to die,
One from the Dark
Lord Gates on his dark throne In the Land of Redmond where the Shadows lie.
One OS to rule them all, One OS to find them, One OS to bring them all and
in the
darkness bind them, In the Land of Redmond where the Shadows lie.'"


And thus was born the Fellowship of the Ping.

Dear x

Thank you for showing your interest in providing the love in RMS's life.

Before he will meet you, you must obtain a copy of, and agree to the LGLPL

In the interest of free and open software you will be required
to obtain a mapping of all your genes and publish it. Once published,
anyone may duplicate your genetic structure (source code) and modify

Although you are required by the LGLPL to provide the source code for
your genetic mapping you are not required to provide any actual genetic
material. You will be required, though not on the first date, to accept
genetic material from RMS and to actively assist in doing so.

If you do receive genetic material from RMS, you also agree not to use

with yours or anyone else's.

You may decline the LGLPL at any time, however if you have exchanged

Hi!
 
A little joke I though would interest 
you:
 
INTRODUCING the 
greatest and most powerful new chip out of INTEL's(TM) Microprocessor Labs: The 
Potato(TM) Chip.

Finally, with much fanfare, the newest upgrade 
to the best selling Pentium(TM) processor is released. The Potato(TM) Chip uses 
the latest in biochemical and electonic engineering. This newly developed 
organic microprocessor outshines the previous generation.
The Potato(TM) Chip has 100% more speed, 100% more 
memory, 1/10th the heat generation and 10% more starch than the traditional 
200Mhz PentiumPro(TM) Chip.
The new Potato(TM) Chip will soon be available in 
several flavors: Standard for the generic PC, Bar-b-que for those engineers and 
scientists who need an extra kick, Cajun for secretaries so that the engineers 
can drool over it, Sour-Cream and Onion for the very low end user, and Low 
Sodium for the laptop market. 
Soon a 
modified version of the Potato(TM) Chip will be released for the Very High End 
Computing sector. The new chip will be used in powerful parallel and 
supercomputer systems. The chip will have a slightly modified shape, color, and 
will be stackable. This project is code named Pringles(TM).
Intel(TM) is beating out Motorola(TM) by two 
months for its own new chip: The Tortilla(TM) Chip. Industry insiders believe 
that the marketing hype for the Tortilla(TM) chip is overblown. Motorola's(TM) 
new chip is just too late and too underpowered compared to the Intel processor. 
In addition, the Tortilla(TM) is completely incompatible with the Potato(TM) 
Chip and is based upon a very different technology.
 
Tell me what you think :-)))
