While transmission does get somewhat delayed, communication is secure.
This is of course useless for phone sex.
Me: "So, what are you wearing?"
Gf: "..."
Me: "What are you wea*"
Gf: "A hot small negli*"
Me: "Sorry, please continue"

Gf: "A hot small neglige and nothing else"
Me: "*grunt* and then?"

Gf: "I didn't hear you. What did you say after then?"
Me: "Uh nothing, I was just asking, what do*"
Gf: "Is this thing on? Oh wait now I hear you. Can you repeat?"
Et cetera.

Don't be ridiculous. Everybody this *this* feature or *that* bugfix is the most important and will result in World Domination. Check out IssueZilla, it's full of bug reports that say "OMG this is the ONE THING that's holding up our Fortune-5 company from adopting OO".

Great! So, do you get the Amazing PauseTheUniverseTechnology free with this nifty gadget? Because it'll take some time to review "anything that comes through".
Look back at the 30s- respected banks went out of buisness as much as anyone else
In the Netherlands, you don't have to look back that far. December 2005, a bank went bust and lots of people lost money. See also this article on Wikipedia.
You have a nice sig, T-shirts of Famous Women Engineers [cafepress.com]. However, I am a bit disappointed. When I visited the site, I learned that they are new. Had they been worn, I'd have ordered a few.
I second this -- exercise strengthens my wrists, arms and shoulders as well. I use Workrave and when it pops up for a break, I just try to lift my desk. It's too heavy, but I keep the tension on the muscles for 30 seconds or so. It doesn't cost any time and nobody notices.
we can query the Windows Management Interface, and we can write it to the console. Awesome.
This reminds me of a discussion between a Dutch and a Russian developer about a protocol. Also present in the room is a Russian scientist, working on the same project.
Dutch Developer: "If you put 1 in this sequence field, the answer will be 1. If you put 2, the answer will be 2."
Russian Developer: "OK."
Scientist turns to developers: "That's unbelievable!"
Scientists have known that cells in different parts of the brain react to attributes such as color, taste or quantity.
They can call me when I can modify these cells. Not my own, but my girlfriend's. For either of these three fine attributes, I can think of some modification for her:
Color -- when she's buying clothes and is indecisive as hell.
Quantity -- "enough shoes" does not exist for her
Taste -- could use some tweaking as well. Use your imagination

Hi Mike,
I admire the work of you and your colleagues very much, and think that for your users in general it's probably best if you didn't answer every ill-informed question out there and took a rest or sip a beer or otherwise get ready for the next magic-doing...
Of course, only you decide what to do in your time, though.
At first, it seemed perfect for an enterprise-level project that we were doing. We coded a small main() in Java and then continued to code up the app in Groovy.
After a few months we were at abt. 85% done and then the shit hit the fan. I walked into the development room and then I heard this strange computer voice saying:
"Who the fuck are you?"
And I said, "I'm Cerberusss, and who the fuck are YOU?"
Computer: "I'll tell you who the fuck I am. I'm GroOOOOovy! Punch the green button!!"
At that point, I was shitting in my pants so I walked to my terminal and said: "OK, I'm punching the green button!" but instead, I punched the RED button.
The strange computer voice: "NooOOOOoooo You shouldn't!... have TOUched... the red.... buttonnnnn...."
I develop software that reads out instruments. Often these give a voltage along a curve, which must be calculated to sane engineering values using polynomes. That's the most advanced math I've seen so far....

I tagged this one as sauce. Nobody else did. Tagging ROCKS! :D

Cool, a muffle made from human flesh. Nice and warm for getting through the winter!
CO: "OMG, Word is, like, total crap!"
Me: "I can advise LaTeX."
CO: "Great! Can you get me a Linux shell?"
I happen to like 'em out of it.
Except my girlfriend. I have enormous claws now :D

That might be true, however, in lots of places a degree is something that is worth a higher salary.
Assemble the abstraction functions? Why not use the standard PEAR package?

Needless to say, I never went back to Groovy.
Strange. When reading your post, I mentally replaced Microsoft with the word "women". And it still made sense.
I have just one advice to the GP: before they do, kill them all. That's what I did.
*shrugs* I happen to like Perl.
Oh wait. You didn't mention Perl at all.
OK, sorry :)
