EVERY 30 gig Zune died last night →
marco:
(via jeffbaum)
This is hilarious. A software bug made every 30GB-model Zune crash last night at 2 AM, and they won’t reboot properly.
edit: I’m still laughing about this a half-hour later. The various comments everywhere are hilarious.
Dammed and I wanted to get one…

I love the World of GOO
This is not the first post about the World of GOO , probably one of the best games I’ve seen in a long time. It is fun too play has great cool graphics (yes I know they are not amazing 3D, but I find them great) and it reminds me to those games of the 80s (when games were more than just new version of games with better graphics and better AI).
The only thing that has been putting me back...

I'm getting too old
I went out with my friends last night, after thinking about it carefully this are the numbers:
3 x Beer minis (each mini is a liter of beer approx two American pints or a little less than two British pints)
3 x Mohu bottles (33 cl)
5 x shots
3 x Heineken bottles (33 cl)
The result of all that has been 4 hours throwing up after breakfast and a terrible hang over… I cannot believe that...

Managing Contacts in C# →
Probably one of the very first objectives of the project (and probably the most important one) was to provide other developers with a collection of libraries that could be used in other projects…

People in C# →
The Person class is one of the most basic classes in the system and probably one of the most useful. The Person class represents a person in real time that can have as many contact details as he…

This…Is…Spyware!
ELECTRONICS STORE | TEXAS, USA
Customer: “Hi, my son says that I have spartans on my laptop and I should bring it to you guys.”
Me: “…Ma’am? Spartans?”
Customer: “Yes, I called my son at school and told him that screens keep popping up all the time, and he said that I have spartans.”
Me: “Oh! You mean trojans! That’s a possibility; let me run this analyzer on your laptop real quick and we’ll see what’s going on.”
Customer: “Young man, my son is in college and he says it has spartans. You just stand here in a little uniform and make minimum wage. I think my son knows what he is talking about.”
Me: “You’re right ma’am. I was hoping to run a diagnostic and find out that it wasn’t spartans, but just by looking at the login screen, I can tell that you probably have about 300 of the little guys running around.”
Customer: “300?! Is that bad?”
Me: “It’s horrible. They cram themselves into a bottleneck and kill wave after wave of data, until there is a wall of dead programs blocking any more traffic through your computer.”
Customer: “Oh, that just figures. I’m going to go buy a new computer.”
Me: “Ok, ma’am, I think that would be best.”

Lee Coleman : This is great. I love it when people think that college graduates KNOW EVERYTHING and assume that anyone without a degree is a dumb ass waste of space.
Mandel: Unless he uses long words that have nothing to do with the problem: My son told me that because I have a Central Process Unit that can use 2*64 addresses and has a Random Access Memory of 3 GB that I should be able to play solitary faster, should I?

One of the bad things of working in a wanna be...
I have received 3 emails for a very “important” presentation. All of the written in French, Flemish and English, and in all of the three languages they told us to go to one of the presentations which are only held in French and Flemish… Well this is my reply email:
Dear Marie,
I have received the updated calendar of the performance management process presentation and I have...

My eeepc
I’m the proud owner of a eeepc ASUS laptop. I know that some people don’t like netooks,and I do understand their fillings, but I do have to say that is their fault (if they bought one, otherwise, I do not understand why you complain). If you bought a netbook thinking you were buying real computer, let me tell you, you were wrong!!!!
Netbooks are great when you want to have a small...

Yes Apple fan-boys, you are like that!
I am not going to deny it, I used to be a hardcore apple fan-boy with a twist (I had an eMac before all this crazy 14 kids started getting there cool Intel Macs, puag ). Fan-boys in general suck, but the worse ones are the apple ones. And I say they are the worse, not because I do not like apple (I do) but because they do see themselves from other people eyes. Now the Simpsons have done it for...
