I was amused to read a passage in "Galactic Pot Healer", by Philip K Dick, where office employees play a game of taking a well known phrase and passing it through the translation computer to turn it into another language and then through another to turn it back into English, then making your opponent guess what the original was.
Ever played this game by yourself or with others using altavista/babelfish??
It's sappy, but the best example I can think of for this sort of relationship is from "Mad About You", that series with Helen Hunt and Paul Riser. Love each other, support each other, but most important: be one another's best friend.
But most important: worry about how your assigned gender role makes your relationship inherently unsatisfactory - remember that girls are into shopping and guys are into baseball. Fuck I hate that show!
I notice that the agreements listed in the press release don't include dumping Visibroker. Last time M$ took an interest in a CORBA vendor (ICL) they divested of their ORB pretty damn quick!
DAIS is now owned by Peerlogic , and I wonder how long until Visigenic gets to float free of Inprise (minus is its [OJ]DBC products of course).
