MadL Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Break Out Th' Guns Lads - This Means WAR!!! Don't Talk Like A Pirate Day! I just found this notice posted in port: (clipit) Microsoft plans on Tuesday to announce “Global Anti-Piracy Day,” an effort to gain attention for the steps the company undertakes in order to thwart those who would engage in th' sweet trade and enjoy festivals while talking like a pirate and drinking gallons of rum. As part of the event, Microsoft is highlighting recent antipiracy efforts in 49 countries, ranging from hangings, floggings, imprisonment, and confiscation of weapons and arms. It’s the kind of thing that Microsoft does all the time, although the company is aiming for some added ink by grouping together so many actions at once. (end o' clipit) THIS MEANS WAR!!! ~All skill be in vain if an angel pisses down th' barrel o' yer flintlock! So keep yer cutlass sharp, 'n keep her close!

Hawk the QM Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 (edited) So does this mean the next Mac commercial will feature pirates ? Yaaaaar! I hope so. If you run Vista, here's a nifty little customization you can do. http://www.stardock.com/products/mycolors/...ry.asp?p=pirate I have yet to test it though. So go by your own accord. I will try it tonight when I get home. However, the real piracy act is the price. YAAAAAAAR!!!!!!

Aye, 'n if ye be in Californie then it be 8.9% tax 'n 10% tax on th' tax ('n that be from th' net, naught th' gross, ye get t' keep th' stuff between yer toes, fer now anyway) Edited October 25, 2008 by MadL ~All skill be in vain if an angel pisses down th' barrel o' yer flintlock!
