As a contractor of many years, I refuse to take second hand chairs as my main post. Sure I will sit in any chair for an hour, but fuck me if I have to smell other peoples farts after sitting in one long enough to get it warm.
I was once asked "Why are you so demanding about the chair? You will be here for only three months or so!". I gave the manager a quizzical look and asked. "Say.. Do you ever hide your flatulance into your cushiony chair?" (Yeah, not from US. I guess that would be waaaayyyy too offensive to hint there.)
New chair it is. Not an aeron but something that doesn't smell like someones shit.
Also, do you know any consultants who have done this before? If you post it to get-a-coder, I'm sure you get a team of highly sophistimicated web developers based in Bangalore who have implemented this precise requirement multiple times. For $20 bucks!
So you think it is unfair to actually enforce legal penalties in a meaningful manner, instead of letting them dump unsellable stock and call that paying their due?
Totally off-topic, but I find it interesting how dark Norway is. I think they have as dense population as Sweden which is much brighter and much denser than Finland, which is bright in the southern part and dark in the north.
I don't get it, why people find their earthly shells so importnt that they should be buried in expensive coffins with huge ceremonies. It doesn't concern me one bit what happens to my carcass after death. I recall my father once said he'd like his body just dumped to ocean in a bag after he's dead. Later he switched to wanting to be cremated and the ashes sprinkled in a forest where he used to play as a kid. Well, he was cremated but my gradparents found it atrocious for him to be buried in common land and after all they got a burial place on "blessed" land for the urn.
Oh lord help us. Spaceballs actually re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-aired on sunday on a national tv channe here in Finland. I saw that movie gagibilliongillion times when I was kid. Still love it thou.
Those things are very species specific already here on earth. I don't find it very plausible that alien cooties would be very fond of us.
Parasites and diseases which are common in household animals seldom accept human as a host. Furthermore, I have never been infected by a tree fungus. I guess they don't find me favorable for symbiosis.
"What?" is the standard lpmud/ldmud error message when the interpreter falls through the command parser. (Yeah, I know Go north is reference to Zork syntax, but GP was talking about mud, so, eh... Okay, I have taken this too far. I'll just shut up now:))
Same tests we do now. Only reason the whole batch has to be thrown away is because it is not economical to test each pieace of meat individually to see if it contains bacteria (or whatever) harmful to humans. Some of the meat was tainted. It was because the animal was sick. Many of the animals had the same symptoms. -> Throw away the whole batch just in case.
Thankfully, in Vista they are more open about it. There's no longer "My" computer or "My" documents, which originally , ofcourse was worded to give you the warm fuzzy feeling that they are you'r files.
Now in Vista there's only "Computer", "Documents", "Pictures", "Music", etc.
Roland has always been good at making mundane shit sound exciting. I always got angry when I got lured into his blog by fancy summary, because there is never any substance to his fantastic tales.
Oh, wait. Sorry. I now understood that they totally mangled your actual submission. That's not nice. Thou I still fully support unwrpping blog posts from article links.

How in the hell do you comment your code?
747 without control nor thrust is not exactly a glider.
Hunk of masonry which handles like a tree leaf at autumn might come closer.
Man. That would make an awesome movie! Please tell me you are going to expand on this synopsis and submit for greenlighting? :P
Yeah. Just check out the prices here in Finland for a bottle of vodka!
Yes... Everyday I wish that my parents wouldn't have conceived me because I cannot have all the privileges they had before I was born.
Your candy analogy is by far the weirdest I have ever heard. I thought BadAnalogyGuy had good ones but you take the cake.

Sorry. I had to
The name sounds like some horrible cardio vascular disease.
Damn these guys need some latte-sipping, hemp-wearing, mac-using marketing guys.

Uhh... Okay. Would you prefer UPS or DHL?

I would be perfectly happy for $2 or even â2 for gasoline per gallon. I'm paying more right now for decomposed tyrannosaur-type diesel right now.
Very well. Pearl harbour is an example of defending against invading force. Thank you, that answered my question.
Freedom from... ?
American army is not for defense. When have you defended against any potential threat that could have taken away your "freedom"?
I hate that patriotic bullshit.

Thanks for setting us up for some intriguing dialogue involving swallows and their air speed.
