"Maybe it's time to turn "Verizon" into a verb. As in:
I can't get to this website, either it's down or the firewall admin's verizoned it.
Damn it, this music download shop is totally verizoned, I can't even burn these files to a CD!
If you're planning to get to West Palm Beach today you might want to take the turnpike, I hear they've verizoned half of I-95 due to construction."

FreeBSD funnies such as "How many FreeBSD hackers does it take to change a lightbulb?" and "Where does data written to /dev/null go?":

...and then there recently was this new candidate:
Subject: Re: My freebsd dream
From: chris.trismegistus@gmail.com
To: freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org
I have a dream that one day this [OS] will rise up and live out the
true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident:
that all [code is] created equal." I have a dream that one day on the
red[mond] hills of [Washington] the [derived works] of former
[research projects] and the [derived works] of former [corporations]
will be able to [link] together [in] a table of [compatibility]. I
have a dream that one day even the [company of Microsoft], a desert
[company], sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will
be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream
that my four [computers] will one day [run] in a nation where they
will not be judged by the color of their [GUI] but by the content of
their [code base]. I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day the state of [IP], whose [lawyer's] lips
are presently dripping with the words of interposition and
nullification, will be transformed into a situation where little
[freebsd boxes] and [linux boxes] will be able to [share code] with
little [windows boxes] and [solaris boxes] and [run] together as
[clients] and [servers]. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one
day every [interface] shall be [defined], every [bug] and [error]
shall be [documented], the [compiler warnings] will be made
[understandable], and the [stack pages] will be made [no-exec], and
the glory of the [Code] shall be revealed, and all [users] shall see
it together. This is our hope. This is the faith with which I return
to the [buildworld]. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the
mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able
to transform the jangling discords of [operating systems] into a
beautiful [cluster] of [beowulf]. With this faith we will be able to
work together, to [code] together, to [debug] together, to [core dump]
together, to stand up for [standards] together, knowing that we will
be [compatible] one day.

Code is refactored sufficiently once every feature == a single line of code.

Subject: Re: does mozilla support javascript?
Of course Mozilla supports JavaScript.
Your report is pretty useless without a testcase, or the URL of a page that
doesn't work as you expect. Perhaps the page expects some non-standard
Internet Explorer feature exposed to JScript to be supported by other
browsers.

Snippets from the
Register
:
As
the SANS Institute notes, 20 minutes is not long enough to update your
Windows PC before it is too late. If you take a new PC out of the box,
plug it in to the Internet, and power it on, ...few people... know
enough to immediately hie thee over to Windows Update and get the
latest patches from Microsoft. Then reboot. And get more patches. And
reboot. Ad infinitum.
"Mrs. Jones, I'm sorry to inform you,
but we've run the tests, and it appears that you have XP. Now don't cry
- it's bad, but it's not a death sentence. Modern science has advanced
in recent years, and it's now possible to live a reasonably happy life
with XP. And there's a survivor's group that you'll want to meet as
well."
- Set Windows Update to automatically update the computer, without asking questions.
- Install a personal firewall that blocks almost everything by default.
- Buy a 2- or 3-year subscription to an anti-virus program and set it up to automatically download all updates.
- Buy an anti-spyware tool and set it up to automatically update, scan, and remove spyware.
- Replace Internet Explorer with Mozilla or Mozilla Firefox, and then hide that blue E so it's not on the desktop.
-
Replace Outlook Express with Mozilla Thunderbird.
