LPT: instead of throwing your playstation away after each game, try turning it off and on again to choose a new game.

Make your MIT-licensed library big enough that the corpos use it, then switch it to AGPL just before you add a really important and tricky feature they've been waiting for.

There's an old joke about two mathematicians in a cafe. They're arguing about whether ordinary people understand basic mathematics. The first mathematician says yes, of course they do! And the second disagrees.

The second mathematician goes to the toilet, and the first calls over their blonde waitress. He says to her, "in a minute my friend is going to come back from the toilet, and I'm going to ask you a question. I want you to reply, "one third x cubed.'"

"One ther desque," she repeats.

"One third x cubed," the mathematician tries again.

"One thir dek scubed."

"That'll do," he says, and she heads off. The second mathematician returns from the toilet and the first lays him a challenge. "I'll prove it. I'll call over that blonde waitress and ask her a simple integration question, and see if she can answer." The second mathematician agrees, and they call her over.

"My friend and I have a question," the first mathematician asks the waitress. "Do you know what is the integral of x squared?"

"One thir dek scubed," she answers and the second mathematician is impressed and concedes the point.

And as she walks away, the waitress calls over her shoulder,

"Plus a constant."

At this stage kernel 2.6 is ancient culture.

This world is full of conflicts and full of things that cannot be reconciled. But there are moments when we can reconcile and embrace the whole mess, and that's what I mean by 'Hallelujah.'

His original version, recorded on his 1984 album Various Positions, contains allusions to several biblical verses, including the stories of Samson and Delilah from the Book of Judges ("she cut your hair") as well as King David and Bathsheba ("you saw her bathing on the roof, her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you").

You didn't really read your linked source, did you? It references Bathsheba but - if I understand right - isn't really about that, per se.

[Mouseover text] Thomas Jefferson thought that every law and every constitution should be torn down and rewritten from scratch every nineteen years--which means X is overdue.

I'll be the old stodger voice and mention that taking 5 minutes from time to time to not be stimulated is good for mental health, and apparently creativity too.

Correct. But climate change is specifically the fault only of this Grandma.
