My breakfast is an extra fifteen minutes of sleep.
This revives a faint memory of the time when I didn't have kids yet. Oh, how I miss those days, when nobody used to jump full speed right into my groins in the middle of the sweetest REM phase...
Anyway: Kids DO get you going in the morning, whether you're ready or not. And forget about those extra 15 minutes of sleep.
The only reason that I can see to have network switch equipment that close to 2000 degree heat (units? please?) is that you must be part of the Devil's IT team in Hell and you are in the network group.
No way! We all know that there are lakes of molten brimstone in hell, which limits the temperature to its boiling point, which is 444C. I quote from http://www.fifer.net/quotes/:
The temperature of Heaven can be rather accurately computed. Our authority is Isaiah 30:26, "Moreover, the light of the Moon shall be as the light of the Sun and the light of the Sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days." Thus Heaven receives from the Moon as much radiation as we do from the Sun, and in addition 7*7 (49) times as much as the Earth does from the Sun, or 50 times in all. The light we receive from the Moon is one 1/10,000 of the light we receive from the Sun, so we can ignore that... The radiation falling on Heaven will heat it to the point where the heat lost by radiation is just equal to the heat received by radiation, i.e., Heaven loses 50 times as much heat as the Earth by radiation. Using the Stefan-Boltzmann law for radiation, (H/E)^4 = 50, where E is the absolute temperature of the earth (-300K), gives H as 798K (525C). The exact temperature of Hell cannot be computed... [However] Revelations 21:8 says "But the fearful, and unbelieving... shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone." A lake of molten brimstone means that its temperature must be at or below the boiling point, 444.6C. We have, then, that Heaven, at 525C is hotter than Hell at 445C.

Some people claim that the pulsed radiation from today's digital phones like GSM, DECT, UMTS is worse than the soft, natural, harmonic (I am only quoting) non-pulsed radiation from older, analog phones (NMT, CT1). That's why those people prefer CT1+ over DECT for cordless phones at home, even though it is semi-illegal over here.
I don't know whether this is true, but if it is, the study has a potential flaw, because the analog NMT was replaced by digital GSM around 1992 in the middle of the study, and I can't see this being taken into account. It would be interesting to see if it made a difference.
If I remember correctly, Kaiser Wilhelm greatly admired the British and wanted to avoid conflict with them
AFAIK this is not entirely true. Wilhelm II did admire the British (Queen Victoria being his granny), but more than that he wanted to show that his navy is better than the British, so he eventually seeked conflict with Britain. The word 'his' is to be taken literally: It is known that he loved playing with ships since he was a toddler and never quit.
Furthermore, he had a crippled arm and his (British born) mother despised him for that. A while ago, I read an article in the 'SPIEGEL' claiming that this was the principal reason for going to war with Britain.
It would seem that things like this, in a free market, should take care of themselves...The free market is a theoretical concept which requires a few preconditions that are not likely to be found in real life, which are (IIRC):
no single producer is powerful enough to have a decisive influence on the market (i.e. no monopoly!)
no customer likewise
only one product is traded in unrestricted quantities, and every producer provides the same quality at the same production cost
every producer can enter and leave the market freely, which means: you can immediately start selling without having to invest into infrastructure etc.
I think there was a fifth precondition but I forgot what it was, sorry...
It is generally assumed that only one product fits these rules approximately, namely petrol (or gas, if you like), but even this is debatable.
If any of these preconditions is missing, you don't have a free market! Most business people forget this fact.
So, don't expect the market to take care of eventually solving all economical problems. Sometimes it does by chance, but actually there is no guarantee.
Your problem is that you've been there only 4 months. Wait another 4 months and you're as much sedated as the others and you won't notice it anymore. Works perfectly...
At the university I once had the job to produce 100 copies of a circa 100 page application document for a very important government funded research project.
I had a high-performance copier, to which I fed the original pages, cranked the lever to 100 copies and kept shoveling paper into it until it finished.
Only then I realized that I misunderstood the sort/collate switch and ended up with 10,000 sorted pages, meaning that 100 pages #1 were followed by 100 pages #2 etc.
I was out of fresh paper for a retry, too.
After some decent swearing and a couple of cigarettes, I arranged the tables of a seminar room around myself, then spent the whole night making 100 stacks of paper one by one.
When it was over, the skin on my fingers was so dry that it cracked and started bleeding. Not to speak of the over-exercised muscles in my hands...

Don't mod parent funny! Give him insightful. This is exactly the point.
I find it hard to tell my wife every day that I love her. And this is simpy because I am a nerd. And most nerds are, well, nerds. Unformtunately, women seem to need this kind of emotional conversation.
We have gone through divorce-like situations every year or so. Finally, we would have some weeks of real ugly argument in a row.
Luckily this counts as emotional conversation, and all was fine again (for a while).
Except some of the wireless cards in laptops won't run under SP2 (Luckily we've replaced ours).
Well, bad luck! Mine started to work with SP2. Before SP2 it would report a weak signal and kill the connection after transmitting a few bytes. I spent days and hours trying to get it right without success. With SP2: no more problems.
Why do you insist on using one DB for both developers and QA? They have different test scopes, so they should use different DBs. It's like using an axe to both chop wood and cut fingernails.
You'll find it much easier to create dedicated DBs for each test scope.
WRONG! You've misquoted Archimedes' principle. They rise until they replace exactly the weight of water they'd have once molten. Since ice is less dense than liquid water, the water level does drop as the parent stated. The weight of ice + water does not change, but the volume decreases.
You are jumping to conclusion, dear Watson. Listen to this:
I hope you'll agree that the weight of water (which we call W) replaced does have a certain volume, which we call V.
The ice cube, on the other hand, has (as you wrote) the same weight W.
Good! Now, let's assume the ice melts. What does it become? Right: Water! Whooppee! Thumbs up!
And which volume does an amount of water with the weight W have?
Right, see above: V
qed.
But you are of course right: the volume decreases. However, the mighty Lord hath taken care to reduce the volume of the ice by exactly the part that sticketh out of the water and into the heavens.
Take a glass, fill it with ice cubes, and add water until it is just about to spill over. Then wait. As the ice melts, the water level in the glass decreases.
This occurs because the ice is less dense than the water.
Nope. The ice cubes will rise a bit out of the water because they're lighter than water. They rise until they replace exactly the volume of water they'd have once molten.
So while they melt, the water level stays exactly the same (modulo influences of salt and temperature).
I stopped writing any code that might deserve being reused.
I confine myself to writing the special things.
When I need something library-like, I simply google for it, find a decent project on sourceforge and download it. Works surprisingly well in 99% of the cases.
The hard part is to find the right keywords to search for.

True. It's pretty shocking to suddenly notice an airbagged and whatnot Mercedes honking and flashing less than a handwidth behind you, while you are riding your motorcycle at 150 km/h on the left lane of the Autobahn. Just sneeze and you're gone to hell. The Mercedes will merely need to be polished.
