Nike and the Swoosh
Question
Where did the words "Nike" and "Swoosh" come from?
Answer
Nike, pronounced NI-KEY, is the winged goddess of victory according to Greek mythology. She sat at the side of Zeus, the ruler of the Olympic pantheon, in Olympus. A mystical presence, symbolizing victorious encounters, Nike presided over history's earliest battlefields.
A Greek would say, "When we go to battle and win, we say it is Nike."
Synonymous with honored conquest, Nike is the twentieth century footwear that lifts the world's greatest athletes to new levels of mastery and achievement. The Nike 'Swoosh' embodies the spirit of the winged goddess who inspired the most courageous and chivalrous warriors at the dawn of civilization.
The SWOOSH logo is a graphic design created by Caroline Davidson in 1971. It represents the wing of the Greek Goddess Nike. Caroline Davidson was a student at Portland State University interested in advertising. She met Phil Knight while he was teaching accounting classes and she started doing some freelance work for his company.
Phil Knight asked Caroline to design a logo that could be placed on the side of a shoe. She handed him the SWOOSH, he handed her $35.00. In spring of 1972, the first shoe with the Nike SWOOSH was introduced..........the rest is history!
One of my friends wrote a bot like this is Perl a while back, and on today's article, we restarted the bot on #undernet in #cyberchat and a few other channels. Here is a good log of one poor sap. ---
And don't forget Frank Herbert, of Dune fame. Some of his more obscure work like Destination: Void is brilliant in its discussion of Artificial Conciseness. ---
Ohhh yeah... Quake 2 used a peashooter (what I liked to call it) it was basicly a low powered pistol with unlimited ammo. Correction on my post, Barneystien, not BarneyDoom, been a long day, heh... ---
I hope it still cusses at you in German, and have all those cool aditions, like BarneyDoom, and maybe a few others, like change the knife or fists (been to long) into a pitch fork, being used by the FreeBSD devil. ---
I'd much rather use one of these, they are more environmentally safe. Both my parents have one, and are satisfied with them, and they say they have pretty good rate plans. ---
Mysql.org and Mysql.com are the USA mirror of Mysql.net the german site. So if.com or.org is down, try.net. I cannot remember their other domain off the top of my head. Also, as their site says: Our connection to the world has been down between Saturday 19991030 GMT 22.32 to Monday 19991101 GMT 17.10 ---

perl -e 'while(){print "freedom & personal responsibility good, serfdom & tyrannical control bad\n"}'

Now i have to smell farts.com too! Hearing it is enough, but to smell it? That leaves a whole new catagory for them to use.

Yeah, look at Robotech, didn't the SDF crash into Macross Island sometime in 1999?

Maybe yahoo needs to implement a system of moderation, and meta-moderation.

I wonder if Kasporov will try beat it at chess.

Maybe Yahoo was refering to this section of Salon.com
Its the closest section about Free Software/Open Source and Linux.
