It would be a "beowulf cluster of Abstract Thinking uber mice", if you you allow me to embrace and extend on your post. A was about to ask if some one read the article first, but then I remember, this is slashdot.
You're probably messing up the two ID Software's Johns, Carmak and Romero (I kown Romero left ID a long time ago), it was Romero who wanted to make you his bitch in the Daikatana hype times.
Back then, when XML extensions for IIS 4 - SQL 7 where being developed (yes I used IIS once, forgive me) you could go to news.microsoft.com and post on the same newsgroup were actual microsoft developers hang out, it was like a beta testing group for several new products. On the sysadmin side there were several large comunities, newbie friendly, with very helpfull advices from guys that were once in your shoes. All that went to crap when they started that MSDN Universal Subscription "Service".
You're not the only one, as far as I know they were universally called 'mouse clits'. I had a Toshiba satellite Pro a few years ago and I must have heard like a thousand clit-related yokes in those days.
I work for a research institution that focus on the power industry. Before turning into a full fledge sysadmin I had to travel an help senior researchers with their field work. That help was usually troubleshooting software (read 'changing the whole program on the go') that controlled the measurements of large electrical equipment (the code was C and C++ mostly, that was before the widespread use of LabView). Once I accidentally overwrite a data file that had cost us hours of work. My punishment was to redo the tests, but not at the industrial laptop end, I had to take the place of the electric technician holding an electrical terminal (at the end of an isolated rod) on the exposed rotating nucleus of a large (and very live) generator. It was near the turbine end so heat and noise was overwhelming, even with ear protectors.

I'm not a native speaker so I didn't notice those minor glitches. I'd like to think I'm a little more careful when I post; I don't have enough time to run the spellchecker every time.
I don't mean to degrade your sacred language (which I like very much, thanks). I welcome orthographic and grammatical corrections when done in a polite and constructive manner. I don't think that applies to you making fun out of someone's writing without commenting on the content.
My Magnabox branded Philips monitor (from my first computer, a 12 Mhz Magnabox 286) survived 9 years through out several generations of hardware. Back in 1992 I was the only one my classroom with a VGA monitor and tough the max res was just 800x600 I loved that 14" old style monitor. It was very sad to see it die.
Found memories of downloading babe pics (not even soft porn) from my local BBS and see them in all their 16 bit glory came back to me man.
If by 'SQL' you mean any decent RDBMS like Oracle, Sybase, MySQL, MSSQL, etc they all use a binary format to store and sort dates/times, the display format is configurable and there is a default format (also configurable) so you don't have to specify the format in every single query.
I think you've made a god point there. All the people I know with a radeon8000/Ti4200 (or any other second-of-the-line-when-it-came-out video card ever since) are serius gamers, price/performance aware, and in general true game lovers that own at least one of the current generation consoles (but not three, I don't know any serius pc gamer who also own all the three consoles).
I know there sould be lots FPS-only gamers that are always buying the latest state of the art card, overcloakingit like if 280 fps are any different to 272 fps, people who don't conceive digital entretaintment without a mouse, but with each passing year I see fewer and fewer of them.
Did you note that last take of the machine boss?
If neo is truly dead, who sees the machine boss as a golden-stream-of-fractals just as neo used to se the world after being left blind?

Dupe it is! I thought it was another interview about the third movie, it's not!
It's the same Dec 1's article form the previus post
Just read this Linus's sig below on people disregarding penguins:

Some times I wish you could mod down the article itself so it fades out of the main page at '0' threashold.

Same here, Would we have to pay for for cliking on the 'Read more' link I'd have to sue slashdot for false advertising.
