The prefix "God Said" has the extraordinary logical property of
converting any statement that follows it into a true one.

There is no IGLU Cabal! None of them could pass the Turing test. But
strangely enough a computer program they coded, could.

[Commenting in Slashdot after Arnold Schwarzenegger's decision to use
open-source software in the California government:]
> This is obviously because Bill Gates and Steve Jobs are girly-men.
Yeah and what are the offerings of the open-source world? Let's see:
1. Linus Torvalds - Looks like a dweeb, ergo is a dweeb. How girly is that?
(plus his wife can kick ass better than him)
2. Richard M. Stallman - a hippy. How girly is that?
3. Eric S. Raymond - a nice looking man with a mustache. Baby faced, so he
looks a bit girly to me.
4. Larry Wall - a cross between Linus and RMS (i.e: a hippy dweeb) that is
even more girly.
So who do we have left? Alan Cox? OK, he's manly. (huge man, huge facial hair,
etc.) And all the others are so neglible people don't even know how they look
like.
Note: this comment may have been a bit cruel, so sorry. Don't take it too
seriously, especially if you're one of the guys I laughed about. I hold you all
with the greatest respect. Seriously.
Sincerily yours,
Shlomi Fish (who is a quite girly male himself).

Microsoft's slogan used to be "Microsoft - making it all make sense."
Today it should be: "Microsoft - making everything make sense. Ours."

Shlomi, I'm considering naming a corollary of Godwyn's law after you -
any discussion of anything is over when you mention Freecell Solver.

Muli: BTW, I think that any discussion only begins to gain momentum
when I mention Freecell Solver.

Sure I did. I sat at one point of an IRC channel, and someone
tested me. Eventually it was discovered that I am a computer, but it
turned out the other side was an Eliza program. Strangely enough, I could
not detect that the latter fact was true.

If the ancient Greeks had invented UNIX, Murphy's Law would have been known
as Aristotle's Law.
Had they invented MS-Windows, Murphy's Law would have been known as the Law
of Socrates.

A Jewish Deduction
The Bible dictates that "Thou shalt not seethe [= cook] a kid [= young goat]
in his mother's milk." To avoid any possibility of breaking that regulation,
the Jewish tradition ruled that it also applies to female goats, to mature
goats, and to the meat and milk of two completely unrelated goats. It is
also forbidden to eat the meat with fresh milk, and it applies to beef
and mutten as well (including mixing the milk and meat of two different
beasts). Finally, chicken, which are incapable of milk production, may not
be eaten along with any mammal's milk either.
We are fortunate that most mathematicians were not Jewish. Otherwise, it
would have been forbidden to divide by all numbers between -1 and 1.

KImageShop is seriously lacking in developers, and the GIMP is to blame
for most of that.

-- Verbing the verb on Freenode's #perl
The difference between a good student and a bad student is that a bad
student forgets the material five minutes before the test, while a good
student five minutes afterwards.
He who re-invents the wheel, will understand much better how a wheel works.
He who re-invents the wheel, may actually invent a much better wheel.

He who re-invents the wheel will likely design a square wheel and spend a
year trying to figure out why it doesn't work properly.
