Small list of stuff everyone thinks is cool, but I did not find them worth the price all the electrons had to pay

• Second life - seriously people, what is so great about it that you are paying real world money for virtual stuff.
• A-list Bloggers - some of them are a bunch of pretentious idiots. Enough said.
• Orkut

I've heard it said - and find this to be true in enough cases to be useful as a rough guide - that men often try to stimulate conversation by disagreement, while women generally do the opposite (this provides a highly amusing view of teenagers' conversations involving the apposite sex, which tend to illustrate this, or something very close to it.) If so, then the Net often appears to be full of 12-year-old boys, stoned out of their minds on their brand-new experience with testosterone and desperate to be noticed.

"friends, romans, countrymen, lend me your ear" translated to Doglas Adams fan-speak "Friends, afdaniains, furry creatures. Lend me your babelfish." - seen in alt.fan.douglas-adams newsgroup (afd) afdaniains refers to the regular posters of afd.

Ramki explaing some subtle points. However, just think of it as a demo of b**b-catching and laugh

He-he .. look at this. British pensioners regret not having more sex, says poll.

Seven out of 10 people aged 65 and over said they would make more time to make love if they could have their days again.

Sex was followed by travelling the world (57 per cent) and changing professions (43 per cent) as the most popular wishes pensioners had if they could go back in time.

Other regrets included saving for a pension (40 per cent), standing up to their boss (33 per cent), marry someone else (21 per cent), spending more cash on luxuries (19 per cent) and setting up a business (16 per cent).

You have heard what the more experienced have to say. Now go out and have more sex and travel more - leave those angle brackets alone for now

Dear Manager,
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for approvimg my request to move my work desktop to a RedHat system. FreeBSD4 sucks donkey balls (as Eric Cartman would say). Linux is so super-sweet (even if it is RHEL)
Now to move my home directory.
Your sincere slave
