"Last year, unconfirmed reports circulated that Microsoft was building a new language called "Cool" that would be similar to Java but free of technological or licensing obligations to Sun. Microsoft vehemently denied the rumors. Yesterday, Microsoft executives denied that C# was related to the rumored Cool project. "
From this story in June 2000.
And yet,
"The code name was Cool, which stood for âC like Object Oriented Languageâ(TM). We kind of liked that name: all of our files were called.cool and that was kind of cool! We looked seriously at keeping the name for the final product but it was just not feasible from a trademark perspective, as there were way too many cool things out there."
From the article...
Put Gentoo CD in drive, install, no need for license key bullshit. When I get bored I play the piano, or if music isn't my fancy I turn on the xbox and play something.
Right, you have to do something while it compiles.
Haha, nice. Tom don't get all bent out of shape just because Dave is funny and you're not.
Also when the search is done without repeating omitted results, you get 829 sites... most of 'em are mirrors of corporations and other well know site (Suzuki, GSM, PHP, etc.)
And what about various tricks I've seen on other sites like this where people just watch the first 2 seconds then exit out, knowing that that counts as a "view" and therefore inflates the view counter and enables the voting box?
Good point, I imagine if that was a serious concern, being written in Flash as it is, they could easily initialize and XX second boolean.
Yep, only once have I thought, "why not watch tv?" flipped on the tv, saw about 2 minutes of some outrageous reality show, and then went back to my Clancy novel
I'd just like to point out, that, this may not be the case for everyone, but when my dad was diagnosed with cancer, leaving the office, and staying at home would have been surrendering for him. He was optimistic he was going to over come it, and he'd live to be retired, and spend time with us then.

The previous record holder was the Paris Hilton tape.
No... not those kind of models, it means like role models. Astronauts have always been known for their positive affect on the youth.
You decided to post a link to your own little black hole, eh?

Didn't work for me the first time, did the second. Just keep trying

At first I thought the title was just one of those terrible 'in Soviet Russia...' jokes.
This is likely to lead to embarrassing moments at my next LAN =(

Expression contests just don't seem as appealing...
