I don't remember the exact quote....

"A man lies whenever he talks"

Here's a dilemma for you... With all your honor and dignity what would you do? This test only has one question, but it's a very important one.

Please don't answer it without giving it some serious thought. By giving an honest answer you will be able to test where you stand morally.

The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation, where you will have to make a decision one way or the other. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous. Please scroll down slowly and consider each line - this is important for the test to work accurately.

You're in Florida...In Miami, to be exact. There is great chaos going on around you, caused by a hurricane and severe floods. There are huge masses of water all over you. You are a CNN photographer and you are in the middle of this great disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless. You're trying to shoot very impressive photos. There are houses and people floating around you, disappearing into the water. Nature is showing all its destructive power and is ripping everything away with it.

Suddenly you see a man in the water, he is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken away by the masses of water and mud. You move closer. Somehow the man looks familiar.

Suddenly you know who it is -- it's George W. Bush!

At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him away, forever. You have two options. You can save him or you can take the best photo of your life. So you can save the life of George W. Bush, or you can shoot a Pulitzer prize winning photo, a unique photo displaying the death of one of the world's most powerful men.

And here's the question (please give an honest answer):

Would you select color film, or rather go with the simplicity of classic black and white?

Actually I was thinking of a 20 metric ton vibratory road roller. Just find the guy, he'd love roll his machine over your stuff. Smoke a cigarette with him...perhaps you will learn something about real life.

Cheers

Amen to this.

For the basement types x86 desktop guys. While the whimpering noise you make, please visit a Enterprise Class Datacenter of a large organization (if you are allowed inside). An hour downtime of their Operations System would result in couple of million dollar (USD) costs. This is where Sparc and Power PCs run.

Please do not compare your Suzukis with a McLaren F1's. (Its a theoretical argument).

Yes, I have migrated large enterprise Operations Systems from Sparc to x86_64 (Opteron).

This pseudo-friendship is more of a passing fancy.

ASICS makes some good quality professional sports shoes. There are some ASICS models that tune themselves
to suit women's menstrual cycle (apparently, the foot structure changes during their monthly periods).

Heh, reminds me of a joke:

A Bus stops and two men get on. They sit down and engage in an animated conversation. The lady sitting behind them ignores them at first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears one of the men say the following:

Emma come first, then I come.
Then two asses come togeder.
I come once-a-mora.
Two asses, they come togeder again.
I come again and pee twice.
Then I come one lasta time.

"You foul mouthed swine" says the lady, "in this country we don't talk about our sex lives in public!"
"Hey, coola down lady" said the man "I'm a justa tellin' my friend how to spella 'Mississippi' "

They say we are creatures of habit. My Home ICON moved to the right!! Thinkpad Touchpad vertical scrolling refused to work.

Ok, found solutions. Moved Home ICON using customization. Had to download latest Thinkpad Synaptics driver to make Touchpad scrolling work. (why the heck one has to download Touchpad driver for Firefox upgrade is beyond me)

Oh, brought the tabs below.

They say, if you look at ugly goat long enough, you will like her beauty :)

I do not have an axe to grind. In 70's & 80's during my growing up years, I always admired you guys. You made things "Built to last", you made things that were interesting and useful. I took pride in owning American made stuff. There was element of "truth" in American made stuff and technology.

What went wrong?

Here in Slashdot, I hope there are Americans who acknowledge this. What can be corrected?

My pet theory is, this MBA stuff is destroying what made America proud. Companies need to be run by Technocrats (Engineers who are passionate about their ideas) not someone who is playing tunes to numbers (Wall Street, Venture Capital Funds etc).
