I have never found it easy to take someone's job from them- even when they were incompetent. I'm sure that there are a few Microsoft managers who are defending their teams as best they can. Of course, I'm assuming that the rumor is true- and you know what they say about assuming.
I know a few people in the NYC office who have been worried this week by the layoff rumor. Hopefully, Microsoft will streamline the company responsibly. It is unfortunate that so many companies are considering large layoffs, but it is hardly surprising. Many corporations are bogged down by redundancy or mediocrity in the workforce, and would benefit from a careful re-analysis. I know it's easy to jump to the "microsoft sucks" conclusion, but I'm afraid we will be hearing more of these stories from around the country in the next few months. I'm sure even the "evil" microsoft top executives are heartsick over the human cost (and bad press).
"Everyone knows Popeye's secret. Whenever the cartoon sailor is on the verge of losing a fight, he squeezes open a can of spinach, pours the greens down his throat, and uses his supercharged muscles to pummel opponents. But fewer people know that the U.S. government is directly responsible for his dependence on canned vegetables."
That's right, folks! Popeye=propagana
Also, the article mentions that spinich was actively promoted due to its high-iron content, which was miscalculated when a scientist moved a decimal point.

Oops, obviously I haven't seen the documentary!

Small market... though I'm willing to compromise on the "hot" part. Cute is great, too.
Or it's a copy & paste from the original post...

"self-confessed Apple-obsessed and girls who claim they'll never sleep with Windows users"
Probably true... the odds of *ever* getting laid are not particularly good for os-obsessed humans.

ps- Speaking of not getting laid, anyone know a hot linux-obsessed lesbian?
Did you know that Popeye did not originally eat spinich?
Mental Floss Magazine had a brief story about our spinich-eating friend this month.
