If you watch only one anti-war film about the Smurfs, make it this one.

Porn police on the prowl. (Link is SFW, but links to a different NSFW site).

Kind of optimistic aren't we ...

I signed up for the developer track under my companies name. Would be useful if they paid me to go, but if not it's probably worth it just for the software.

Finally, you never want to drive a car into dc on a weekday. We'd have to take the metro.

Video for iTunes (+ iPod) plus Windows Media Center-esque functionality for OS X. If they manage to get decent content, I am so getting the Mac Mini version of the Media Center PC next year, assuming it will exist.

I would like to point out that I predicted that this would happen.

Just curious:
CMM level three, four or five is an indication the software has been developed by quality developers.
What is the bullshit content of that quote?

When a woman places a drink order, what does that say about her as a person?

Actually fairly high if you consider what the audit entails to be considered CMM level whatever. You only need to prove it on one program and with a random sampling of developers. And even then you just need to be able to have the right answers to the questions and the capability to be the CMM level. You don't necessarily have to use the process effectively.

Well, if I were running Google, I'd simply take my massive cash surplus and use it to hire a mercenary army. I'd use the army to conquer a small African/Latin American/Southeast Asian nation. I'd then install myself as god-king of the new nation and refuse to be bound by the decisions of American courts.

But noone ever likes my solutions.

If I were one of these puppies, I think I might try to choke myself on a bone.
