1. Every PHD that you encounter will "know" more than you about programming, even if their PHD is in literature.
2. The bureaucreacy, the horror.
My experience was as follows. Work month 1. At the end of month 1 get someone who doesn't know you to sign a paper certifying that he saw you working. Deliver the papers yourself (DON'T TRUST THE INTER NAL MAIL AND CARRIER SYSTEM OR YOU WILL MISS THE DEADLINE). Get paid at the end of month 2. Repeat procedure.
3. Let them know, on a daily basis, that even if you are a student and a 40 year old you are not a punk who is lucky enough to receive their charity (The job you are doing)
In a seemingly infinite universe, a seemingly infinite number of posibilities take place. Therefore, it is VERY likely that a vast number of civilizations evolved just like us. They did not necesarily evolve to be like us because we have the most successfull layout (humanoid) but because 1,000,000 humanoid species in infinity is a very small number. Think of the monkeys and the typewriters.
If you still don't want to believe that there can be two identical species in a vast universe then you can use the Battlestar Galactica approach and conclude that we are their descendants and that David Blaine is a Jedi.;-)
.NET apps
I am at least three times more productive with.NET than with J2EE. Therefore I save a lot of money and developement time by using.NET capable servers. (I have also used MONO but it has less performance)
For everything else (database, networks, etc) I use Linux.
Palpatine said that his master had the ability to create life by manipulating the midiclorians.
He also said that he learned everything from his master.
Anakin was created by Palpatine.
There are many explanations but I have this one. A ton is differet in England than in America. A parsec is different in a long time ago in a galaxy far far away than on modern day earth.

As long as Firefox is missing Sessions, User Mode, a lightweight and responsive Tab system, a Fit to Window Width function, a Zoom feature and the Magic Wand I'll stick to Opera.
I always recommend Firefox as an Internet Explorer replacement, but for power users nothing works like Opera.
What have we gotten with every new version of Windows.
Software quits working
To be honest... the 9x to NT 5 transition was pretty impressive. The difference in stability was simply astounding. XP brought a bit of eye candy and user friendliness to home users. The only operating system that I think was a worthless upgrade was Windows ME.
It does makes some software to stop working... if it does... dont make the upgrade. Nobody is putting a gun to your head. Lotus 123 and Word Perfect work wonderfully in DOS, but I bet that most people would rather use a modern office suite just to benefit from the latest and greatest Windows.

Dude...
That is the funniest comment that I've read all day. Its a shame that you had to post it anonymously.

I was the first STABLE windows platform that could handle multimedia apps.
Security became a joke, but stability was superb.
It was a gigantic leap from the 9x series.

I always thought that Star Wars Storm Trooper's outfits ability to protect against hard vaccum was bad science. Thanks for the info :-)
Is it just me, or if you look at this you can see a small spacecraft firing some sort of proyectile towards Earth? Left corner over the storm.
Have you visited http://www.whitehouse.org/ recently ;-) ?

I said that to run ASP on apache you could use apache asp. It is a lie.
I made a mistake. My quick googling confused Chilisoft with the link that I posted.
I apologize for the inconvenience.
Adolfo
"Imagine having apache run .Net or ASP web applications."
;-)
In my experience Mono http://www.mono-project.com/ has done a wonderfull job at runing ASP.NET apps and web services.
To run clasic ASP get this.
http://www.apache-asp.org/
If you are concerned with their legality go check Tomcat and JBoss

Project harmony appears to be to Java what mono is to c#.
Anti Micsrosoft zealots bash Mono everytime they get. I'd love to read their oppinion towards Harmony.

Now Google can keep track of the websites we visit! :-D
Perhaps you should check for Hyperthyrodism.
Good luck.

It also does wonders on zombies

Poison? If you get "stung" by a foot long "wasp" you won't need to be poisoned to de knocked down :-P

It is quite simple actually. This is definite proof that the earth can't be older than 6000 years ;-)
Joke aside, I wonder how long it takes for a creationist "scientist" to use my joke without joking.

Great, just great.
...and now I also have to worry about termites.

Computer bugs have made me loose sleep and hair for years...
Some people are just asking for trouble
