    For those of you who make your living from programming, try this: Go to your boss and tell him that the project will take ten times longer than predicted because you want to write an optimized,memory efficient application.

    Your boss will ask "Will it give the same result?", at which you reply "yes" and then he will ask "Why the hell do you want to do this?" and you reply "because I want respect from my fellow programmers".

    Later that day down at the unemployment office, your assigned case worker will ask "why did you get fired", to which you answer "to save precious RAM!!!"

    You're not getting a lot of spam because there are so many people out there working hard to stop innocent email readers from receiving it.

    I don't think the old "head in the sand" policy is a viable solution.

    I dont see that many drug dealers around where I live, so I don't think they're a problem in the world. What is all the fuss about? I live on a small island 500 kms north west of Australia with a population of 12. And whenever I do see one, I just ask them not to sell drugs to my kids and everything's fine.

    Vegemite and spam are absolutely nothing alike.... Physically, they are completely different, and more importantly, Australians love vegemite, it is never the focus of jokes..

    You mexicans all sound the same to me
