In truth, however, I suspect that he'll rather say "u mad? cuz I did it all for teh lulz".
That's basically what he says to Jesus near the end of "The Gospel according to Jesus Christ" book, by José Saramago, the Portuguese Nobel laureate. The last scene in the book is when Jesus is dying at the cross, takes a look at the people below and says: "Please forgive him, for he knows not what he's doing!". Priceless!
Saramago was almost burned at the stake for that book.
It's all the same fucking god, dude. The god of the Bible. It's called God in your language, Deus in my language, and Allah in Arabic.
In the Day of Reckoning he'll call the leaders of the three religions and ask them:
"what the fuck was all that fuss about, shitheads? Did you bother to RTFM?"
You're talking about apples and oranges. Cooking is definitely a multitasking activity, but all the tasks require very low concentration, so it works. And a big kitchen normally has several specialised workstations where one guy is doing the same thing the whole day, like there's one grill and the same guy does all the grilling.
Also, listening to music and tapping your feet has nothing to do with multitasking. These activities are sent to the background and can perfectly happen while you're focusing on a specific task. Having to lose focus all the time because of telephone calls is completely different and is a serious productivity killer.
Being constantly distracted when you're doing something that requires concentration, like programming or writing reports is simply horrible. Unfortunately, in my country the corporate culture is that everybody must be juggling several unrelated tasks and be interrupted throughout the whole day. Productivity sucks big time, people become tired and depressed. After some time working like this, people can't pay attention to anything or finish a task. Errors accumulate.
Unfortunately, to a Portuguese manager, a busy and noisy office where people work unpaid extra hours every day is a sign of a good work. It's precisely the opposite.
I've been trying to shield myself from this madness, but I confess I'm already seriously affected. But there's worse. I've been doing some projects with a partner which is a "consulting company". I know how these companies work. They squeeze every little bit of work they can from their employees. All the guys from that company I've been working with live in permanent stress. Each of them is assigned several simultaneous projects. They spend the whole day on Windows Messenger juggling multiple conversations while answering calls on their mobile at the same time. They can't focus on a single task for more than a few minutes. They work very long (unpaid) hours and weekends, to produce work which is never finished and doesn't work properly. How companies like these survive is a mystery to me.
1. Fuck IPv6. Let's keep the IP addresses a rare and highly desired commodity;
2. Charge an exorbitant fee every time a DHCP request is serviced;
3. Profit!
I checked my energy bill the other day and I was amazed by discovering that HALF of my electricity comes from wind turbines! And I live in the most populated area in my country, just a few Km from the capital, not in some little village in the mountains. If they're supplying me like this, they must be doing the same to millions of people. Count in hydro and only one quarter of my electricity is polluting. Also, we don't have coal or gas, but we have plenty of free wind and sun. Less imports, good for the economy.
So, it's possible. What's the big deal?
About the NIMBY argument in GP: We have a shitload of mountains and hills, It's not like the turbines must be installed on your roof! Or you prefer a coal plant in your backyard? Always the same old and tired arguments...
And why would anyone want to send money to Russian banks?
Shouldn't we get over this "financial centre" bullshit once and for all? If Russia (or anyone else) wants capitals, create some productive activities and make them compete for financing in the global markets. Money to be invested producing real stuff, not the same old financial hocus pocus over and over again, taking imaginary money out of imaginary asses.
Seriously, Russia could be the banking centre for a third of the world and be the most diverse manufacturing centre on the entire planet, if only people thought they could trust their investments there.
Why on Earth do we need yet another banking centre? Why should Russia be a banking centre anyway?
I'm happy to see so many politicians being judged by what they do in bed, instead of what they do in the office. It's nice to see the Brits are focused on what really, really matters.
If that's what they do in public, what do they do in private?
They have sex once a month, with their legitimate wives, in the missionary position. They don't have anything to hide, why should they care about privacy?

Funny, I live in Europe and never noticed this. Care to show some evidence?

That's what I tell my boss, anyway! ;-)
Fuck, DON'T! We don't need any more bosses with poor attention span!
For the umpteenth time, RACIAL PROFILING DOES NOT WORK!
Stupid ignorant bigots blabbering the same shit over and over and over and over again.

Linux. You bet. I heard it runs Komunix!
Whoooooooosh!
So, what's your point? Care to show the math, then?
All those mountains and hills are still in someone's back yard.
Yeah, let's build a coal plant in their backyard, instead. That will make them be so much happier.
Then go sideways.
This can only work if you can watch 360. How many cameras will it take?
class Camera
{
public:
void watch(Camera * watched)
{
Camera* c = new Camera;
watched->watch(c);
}
}
I see a huge business opportunity!

Just imagine if a locomotive boiler explodes and kill someone. Steam trains are bad. We should use horses.
Just imagine if a house falls down and people get crushed. Houses are bad. We should live in caves.
Just imagine if your laptop explodes and you die. Laptops are bad, we should use abacuses.
I guess you have a reading comprehension disability...
I can only reply with one thing:
A big fucking WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!

That would lower everybody's blood pressure! Seems like a good move. All food will taste like shit, though...
"The modern LED 'eco-friendly' light bulb is also a two-way communications device."
At least it's a progress over incandescent lamps, actually heaters which happen to emit a little light.
I can't possibly understand how this could be beneficial in the case being discussed. Would you mind to explain?
