I.shit.you.not. bcnu, Mikem It would seem, therefore, that the three human impulses embodied in religion are fear, conceit, and hatred. The purpose of religion, one might say, is to give an air of respectibility to these passions. -- Bertrand Russell

Post #211,932 by tuberculosis 6/21/05 12:45:47 PM Reply	Oh, I can top that At a certain provider of custom applications for the telco industry, one client decided that these newfangled graphical user interfaces cost too much to develop. He proposed the creation of a text based "order entry language" that would let the CSRs just do a bunch of typing into a text field and submit it. Said exec's proposal for this language looked surprisingly like sql insert statements. It was, fortunately, never developed. "Whenever you find you are on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect" --Mark Twain "The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them." --Albert Einstein "This is still a dangerous world. It's a world of madmen and uncertainty and potential mental losses." --George W. Bush
