'Tis the dream of each programmer, Before his life is done, To write three lines of APL, And make the damn things run.

Software is like entropy. It is difficult to grasp, weighs nothing, and obeys the second law of thermodynamics; i.e. it always increases. -- Norman R. Augustine

Internet Explorer is a program that allows you to access the Internet. And vice versa.

I mean, I read all the links, but I still can't understand a thing. Can anyone explain it
to me as if I were a 6 year old?

You'll understand when you're older. Now go and play with your toys!

Bagh, back in my day we didn't need fancy schmancy snooper programs. There was only enough email to keep an FBI staff of 3 busy reading through messages. We just put the FBI on our cc: and it worked on the honor's system. Sometimes the FBI would reply back if they liked what they read. Nowadays, all you young hoodlums can't do anything honest, and we need all kinds of expensive fancy equipment to keep tabs on who's doing what. -- angry old man

I think the idea is based on the concept of taking a bomb on a plane, so that you know that if there is a bomb, you have it and you know you won't set it off.

Our documentation manager was showing her two year old son around the office. He was introduced to me, at which time he pointed out that we
were both holding bags of popcorn. We were both holding bottles of juice. But only *he* had a lollipop.

He asked his mother, "Why doesn't HE have a lollipop?"

Her reply:

"He can have a lollipop any time he wants to. That's what it
means to be a programmer."
