It's "whisky" if it's from Scotland, "whiskey" if it's from Ireland. The word stems from the Gaelic "uisce", which means "water". The Gaelic name for whiskey is "uisce beatha", meaning "the water of life".
I just spent $1850 on a 14.1", G3-600, 384MB iBook with Airport, first Mac I've ever bought. I don't regret the decision for a second -- this is a *sweet* machine.
Maybe.. just maybe.. (and I'm reaching here) he meant that "The Macintosh just lost half of its ease of use"? I presume that this is because UNIX is involved. The monkey part, well, easy enough to be used by a monkey? I don't know, I'm just guessing.
Ye Gods, root canal... had one of those about 4 years ago, my wife had one last week -- horrible, horrible, horrible. You're right, you didn't do the "as far as" thing, I was just engaging in a generalised rant at that point.
.Ok American, let's get this straight for once and for all. Something is either a "tad" or a "bit" but not a "tad bit". They mean the same thing, when used in this context, so use one or the other, but not both! And don't even get me started on people who say "As far XXX, etc. etc.", instead of "As far as XXX is concerened, etc. etc.".
I certainly hope that at least a majority of the Ayn Rand fanatics experience a period of unemployment. Let them back up their convictions with their wallets. Annoying puppets.
I formerly worked in Paris for a subsidiary of a medium US corp., and head office in Lisle had Wipro rewrite a general ledger application. The result was a buggy pile of spaghetti code that never worked at even an acceptable level and was nigh-impossible to maintain.
Read the article. And why do you have a problem with some of the GNOME work being done in Ireland? Perhaps if your own English reading comprehension was higher you'd get more work in India.
Did your idiot boss deign to tell you the actual requirements of the system being written, or did it occur to you to ask him? The system requirements should drive the choice of language, platform, etc., not some masturbatory desire to use a language that is buzzword compliant.

Don't you think this is a little over the top, nerd? You need to find a girlfriend.
Your opinion of "God" is even lower than mine.
The bullets and carcinogens provide the ability for both guns and cigarettes to kill people. Your argument is a cop-out.
The first one is a lie. The others? Prove that they are.
That'd be the copper chips first used in the eServer iSeries (the machine formerly known as the AS/400).

Ha ha ha. That's so funny. Fucking idiot.

So many typos... okay, I'll shut up now.
Your sig should read "hexadecimal", not "hexidecimal".
Drug "attic"? Are you sure you aren't already a drug addict?

You are a complete nerd.
Yes, the connection is called "a recession".
I'll start one if you like.
Testify, brother!
It's been painfully unfunny from the first episode. Good riddance!
