I work for the state and I was a corporate flunky for 18 years. The corporate types won't be able to handle the workload and the state types won't be able to handle the bullshit. Corporate life is one meeting after another followed by terror-coding until the deadline. State life is more work for less money. The corporate types will sit in empty conference rooms wondering where everyone is meeting. The state types will wonder why they are working overtime when they spent the previous month doing nothing.
Tell it to the Muslims in China. They have a different opinion. The ones with bullets in the back of their heads will be tough to interview.
Several Americans and Chinese have come to America speaking of torture following their arrest. Forced abortion, torture and child abandonment are still practiced in China.
There may be freedom in China but it is only available to those who don't want it.

Oh come on. A mere coincidence. Are you saying the success of.NET would help the sale of his books? Perish the thought. The two are completely unrelated. Like oil and vinegar.
I'm confused. If I go to an art show, open a booth and put a mirror across from a piece of art, I am violating the copyright of any artwork that happens to display in the mirror?
Oh wait. Someone took a picture of my family last week at a park. Can I have them arrested for kidnapping my children?
I called our OS/2 guru everytime it blew up. I called him twice in two years.
If I did that with Winders, the tech would come over here and shoot me.
Ahhh....Microfuckus COBOL running on OS/2. Now that is REAL code. You would actually watch the code being processed. Made you dizzy as Hell. It taught you to keep your procedures in sequential order.
We ran it on a IBM PS/2 Model 70 (386) with 8 meg of RAM. And you could run Kings Quest II on it as well. Is there a downside to this?
He capitalizes games but not Christmas. That's a good way to skipped by the jolly fat guy on Dec 25. You got to give Santa his props if you want to see some loot under the old evergreen.
PHP sucks as a batch language. We need to generate tables and searches. We use C++ and SQR for batch work/update. We use SAS for reporting. PHP and PL/SQL work well for web applications although PL/SQL appears to be slower than Christmas coming to a 5 year-old.
The more I use PHP, the more I like it. But even in web applications, I need some background threads running.
BUT JUST WAIT FOR C#!!! Things will run faster, colors will be brighter, whites will be whiter and THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN!!!!
As long as Gates can make Linux look like a threat, he can continue to say that Windows is not a monopoly. These "leaked" memos are intended for the courts, not the general public.
I'll believe Linux is a serious threat when Bill Gates tries to crush it like a bug.
Nah. A whole bunch of suits are sitting in a meeting and one says "I need it by March" and the CIO nods his head. That's the deadline. It doesn't matter how you plan it but that's the date.
Oh and the CIO can't tell anyone about the project for a month.
Never go in a dark alley after the murderer. What are you, stupid?
If you find a vampire in the house, don't go looking for religious artifacts. Look for a door. If you don't see one, make one.
If she has on high heels, leave her. If I go and pick up a date and she has on high heels, I tell her "You better bring a Bible or a silver bullet with you because if we meet a monster and I commence to hauling ass, I'm only hauling mine".
Comparing Bin Laden to Falwell is a bit like comparing Hitler to Clinton. It sounds pleasant and it tickles our brain stem but it is very insensitive to the people killed by the former.
When you get over 100gig, you need to start thinking about reliability. That's an assload of data to lose and a whole lot of eggs in one basket. It sounds great but you have to start seriously considering the reliability of the drive.
I have a three 40gig drive here at work that cost me $140 each but I spent $2500 for a tape system to back them up. What's up with that?
I was terribly unimpressed with Potter. I suppose a kid might enjoy it as much as I enjoyed the Happy Hollisters but the whole thing seemed lifeless at the end.
Now it's a business. Harry Potter stuff. It doesn't get kids to read as much as it gets them to buy stuff. Yeah, we needed that.
I'll save my deads for the Rapping Harry Potter CD and the new book "Harry Potter and the Invisible Trip to the Girls Locker Room".
Rights? We don't have rights. We exchanged those old useless things for free school lunches and Medicare.
The next time you get stopped at a DUI checkpoint and asked for your papers and destination, ask the uniform about your Fourth Amendment rights. You'll be grabbing the trunk and wishing you had kept quiet.

That's all it takes for you to believe in something? A magic trick?
I'll believe in evolution when another animal besides man builds a CAT scan machine.
PS2's are more widely available around here. DUH!
You can't buy what you can't get.

I remember when I couldn't get our department to move from Lotus to Excel because Excel didn't run the Lotus macros correctly.

Cool. An equal opportunity bigot.
"Now i work for Lucent Technologies. Much better. But they have their problems too."
Oh my sides. I guess that whole "stock drop to the basement" didn't help a bit.
Off topic so moderate down.

Does XP come with a terminal? If not, who thunk of that?
Gates: "If you need a terminal to get to it, you don't need to get to it". Thanks Bill. No wonder people are losing MS servers right and left.

Doo doo doo doo

And I say
It's alright.
I remember when IBM had this same attitude. I wonder whatever happened to them.
No. Lee did not play in the WVU game.
No I haven't but thanks for sharing.
Taliban and Open Source. An analogy made in Hell.

Anyway, Falwell apologized.
