I for one am planning a sex drone. Initially it will enable me to entertain the SO not only better but I will also be able to consume more ads. Eventually I expect the SO to follow my example and the drones will have superhuman sex which occasionally we will witness in awe. But we will double our capacity to consume ads. I vaguely get the feeling this droning makes me a bit of a tactic coward. Ah well, it all is in the name of cheerful progress I guess.

Write obscenities. On the moon. Of course.

Lambo is a super car. The Bugatti is a hyper car.

What do you put in a museum? Anything younger than 30 years should be at a dealer. And you don't say "asshole", it's "aththhole". But then you signed quite aptly.

Sure. But you wouldn't put a modern 'Vette in a museum, would you?

Are we on /. supposed to mourn or to celebrate the distruction of plastic cars that don't particularly corner well? I thought so.

Workers have the obligation to bring the effort in. No less no more. Entrepreneurs accept contracts with preestablished result. Workers can be asked to appear. Entrepreneurs can be asked to fulfill their contractual obligations. Programmers initially are workers and not entrepreneurs and so bug fixes cannot be demanded to be solved in their own time. If you happen o have a working contract stipulating that you should carry company risk without having clear benefits on success then you should have it scrutinized.

If I were a lawyer I'd provide you with legal advice. And charge you for it of course.

That bit of reality really made my day... Sigh...

Should I learn ballet? And gravely insult many cultured souls and minds? I rest my case.

Best GUI used to be xterm. Nowadays Cygwin/Mintty with SSH does the trick. Fat clients are hardly justifiable. A few exceptions are Office suites (Web applications still haven't hacked that), IDEs and web browsers.

I sometimes cringe when I see a promising lad mucking about with copy/pasting stuff from GUIs to analyze something. Same analysis with *nix tools would take a fraction of the time and be more precise.accurate.

What scent for sexy time? Fish? Cheese? Candles? Leather? Urine? Feces?

Just good food? Who gave your country democracy? The USA? Philosophy and art would be nowhere without the Mediterranean countries.

The USA produces cars for the man in his 40ties with average income. Wife, kids, dog, shopping and long stretches of road. Nothing exciting for the young ones. You don't aspire driving an SUV 'cause you'll look like your dad. Any affordable hybrid makes you look like your mom. Muscle cars made of cheap artificial materials. But above all Steve McQueen and Paul Newman have been replaced with metrosexual characters that mostly convey the meaning of having a good hair dresser.

Easy. It's the smell if incense at the ceremonies that does it for me.
