    Wow these really are funny. I just finished doing some homework on oxymoron’s. I didn’t copy any though; I had already done my own. These are really funny. Reminds me of this list of ridiculous laws my civics teacher told me about in class. Here are some of them:

    1.Widows can’t sky dive on Sunday’s
    2.If you cross the border and are about to commit a crime, it is your duty to call the police.
    3. It is illegal to stop a chain saw with intimate body parts.

    Seriously, some of these still make me crack up.

      Number one is the best of them all. While software from Microsoft does have nice features, the number one feature you require of an OS is reliablility, and Windows has been rather lacking in that department. But they seem to be getting better though, esp in their XP.

    Computer Security? Business Ethics?
    Cynicism doesn’t make them oxymorons.
