Yup! These are interchangable with the "real-thing" shells and bases. I needed bar stools, but the fiberglass shells are not currently available. So, I ordered these chairs and the stool bases from another site. I kept my fingers crossed, and they work! The holes don't align perfectly, but enough to let them catch. And, no one is going to be looking at the underside to see that the bolts are perfectly in the center of the holes. Very pleased!
If you are expecting the real mid-century version, this chair is not the same material. It is a nice molded plastic. Very comfy. Good quality and durable. Same as the Eames sold at the expensive place but a fraction of the cost.
These chairs are fantastic. We bought them for the end chairs at our dining table, but have brought them over to the living room for guests many times because they are so comfortable. Very sturdy design and a great look. I love these chairs!
For anyone considering these chairs, I would definitely give a high recommendation. No, they are not the originals, but they sure are a great knockoff for the price. I have a lot of mid-century modern furniture and these blend in perfectly. They are comfortable and seem to be good quality. I purchased six of the side chairs and two armchairs to use around a casual dining table. They are comfortable, easy to clean and super stylish. I think these would look great with many different decors also. They are a classic!
I don't normally do online reviews, but...When we looked at these style of chairs for our new dining room table, I insisted on true XXXXXX XXXXXX chairs from XXX. We ordered the chairs from our local store, paying close to $XXXX for two arm chairs and 4 side chairs. After ordering we got notice that our order has been back ordered until mid march. We decided to order a set of these to compare with the originals that we have on order, figuring that if we don't like the replicas we can send them back and keep our standing order. The new XXXXXX XXXXXXX are made with the same poly plastic. Once we received the chairs we were surprised. They look and feel very similar to the true XXX ones, at a fraction of the cost. They are stylish, strong and well made. Other reviews talked about how hard the bases were to get on, but if you just set the all the screws in place before doing a final tighten, it is pretty easy I did both by my self in 5 min. We were really going for the look not the name. The new set cost us $XXX for all 6 chairs, and we could not be happier. Love these chairs! Canceling the XXX order now.
These chairs are very easy to put together, the wire base will only line up to the seat one way, so you can't mess it up. All pieces came in one box. Looks great with my new dining table. The only thing is that these are ****manufacturer and they are offered for cheaper elswhere. The chairs are formed plastic, not painted white (good). They are surprisingly comfortable and sturdy.
The chairs are nice and modern. Not too uncomfortable. They didnt come with any instructions and a little hard to assemble. Took some strength to make the holes on the legs match up with the chair bottom but eventually got it together.
I love, love, love, these chairs. Easy to clean, great to Sit in. Looks good With my old table.
i bought a very urban condo and needed new chairs that had a low profile. these chairs are fantastic. they are better quality than the chairs i found at another store for $349 per chair. i may have just lucked out, but the assembly was very easy. about 8 minutes per chair. they are very comfortable, and just uber cool.

Local Variable Allocation For Accurate Garbage Collection of C++ |
Ganesan, Ravichandran (1994) Local Variable Allocation For Accurate Garbage Collection of C++. Technical Report TR94-12, Department of Computer Science, Iowa State University.
AbstractLocal Variable Allocation For Accurate Garbage Collection of C++ Ravichandran Ganesan* M.S. Creative Component Accurate garbage collection of C++ requires that every memory location and every register be known to contain either a pointer or a non-pointer. In order to minimize the run-time overhead of tagging memory locations and registers, techniques for partitioning memory and registers into separate classes dedicated independently to the representation of pointers and non-pointers respectively have been developed. This paper describes the implementation and performance of a specially designed activation frame targeted to the SPARC architecture, as implemented in a customized version of the GNU g++ compiler. * Portions of this paper were excerpted from "Code Generation to Support Efficient Accurate Garbage Collection of C++ on Stock Hardware", a paper currently being prepared for publication by Kelvin Nilsen, Ravichandran Ganesan, Satish Guggilla, Satish Kumar, and Kannan Narasimhan.

The Federal Excess Personal Property Program
Select here to get answers to Frequently Asked Questions
The Federal Excess Personal Property (FEPP) program refers to Forest Service-owned property that is on loan to State Foresters for the purpose of wildland and rural firefighting. Most of the property originally belonged to the Department of Defense (DoD). Once acquired by the Forest Service, it is loaned to State Cooperators for fire fighting purposes. It is technically no longer excess at that point.
The State Forester makes the initial decision that a FEPP item is appropriate for use, and the USDA Forest Service must concur. The property is then loaned to the State Forester, who may then place it with local departments to improve local fire programs. Approximately 70% of the property involved in the Forest Service FEPP program is sub-loaned to local fire departments.
State Foresters and the USDA Forest Service have mutually participated in the FEPP program since 1956. Program authorities include the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 and the Cooperative Forestry Assistance Act of 1978.
Unlike the Volunteer Fire Assistance Program (VFA) , which is for the benefit of communities with a population at or below 10,000, recipients of FEPP need only have a wildland or rural fire responsibility that satisfies the State Forester.
Contact your state FEPP Manager, your regional Forest Service Program Manager, or Melissa Frey, National FEPP Program Manager, with questions about the FEPP program.

Now the convicts need Hope.I am more of a Sheriff Arpaio type myself. Click Here if you Like this Comment
The old Texas prison rodeo, held every Sunday in October in Huntsville for many, many years, doesn´t exist any more. I loved it, as did many others. The Sundays were always complete ticket sellouts. But, it was eventually decided in Austin that the rodeo exploited men who had no real means of resisting. They made a little money, they had a little fun but it was dangerous and there were frequent injuries. I miss the prison rodeo, but I think it was a bad idea. Click Here if you Like this Comment
I was told that the Huntsville, Tx Prison Rodeo was ended because so damn few of the prisoners had any cowboy skills any more.The huge stadium is still there behind the Walls Unit but it´s crumbling.Huntsville, BTW, is at the center of Deep East Texas, a vast area of beautiful forests and lakes largely unknown to outsiders.Hint: It´s not too late to become a Texan.But you will need a new hat and an old pick-up truck.

No, #3, there was an activist push extending over several years to shut the Texas Prison Rodeo down for being inhumane. The eventual closing had little to do with cowboy skills, because few of the prisoners every had any. That´s what made the rodeo so rough and rowdy.Here is a link to the history, if it interests you:http://www.txprisonmuseum.org/articles/rodeo_history.html Click Here if you Like this Comment

Yoga for Everyone!
April 23, 2012 at 4:21 pm Leave a comment
Why is Yoga So Great?
Yoga is a holistic practice meaning it focuses on all elements of the person and aims to bring balance and wellness. Translated, Yoga literally means, "to yoke or join together." Yoga focuses on the mind-body connection, although more Americanized forms of yoga tend to focus more on the "physical" aspect of yoga than the mental or spiritual. Do your research and find a class that fits your style and an instructor who you feel comfortable with.
Yoga is an excellent form of complementary medicine. Many people practice yoga to strengthen their bodies after injury or illness, reduce stress and tension caused by stress, boost the body's immune system, sharpen mental acuity, fight mental illness and ease depression. Yoga is often recommended for those suffering from chronic pain syndromes, and even cancer. Yoga teaches you to listen to your body and a good instructor will never encourage you to do any poses that cause pain.
Is yoga really for everyone? Yes!
Yoga isn't just for the ultra svelte hot blonde. Anyone can do it and anyone can reap the benefits of yoga's deep stretches and breaths. You don't need impressive flexibility or a wardrobe full of Lululemon to participate. Many yoga studios offer classes and one-on-one sessions for beginning yogis, and there are hoards of YouTube videos, books, and DVD's that make it possible to practice yoga at home. Also, once you've learned a few basic poses, you can really do yoga anywhere you'd like. I love to watch people practice yoga in a grassy park, or on the beach.
As a newbie yogi myself, I'll admit that it took me a long time to actually GO to yoga because of numerous silly fears and doubts in my abilities. I am not flexible. Not one bit. I honestly can't even touch my own toes. At first, I used this as an excuse, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I NEED to do yoga BECAUSE I'm not flexible! Mind blowing revelation, huh. Also, I was a bit self-conscious knowing that I would likely need a lot of help learning the poses and following along. I didn't want people to see how inflexible and uncoordinated I was. Here's where genius revelation #2 sinks in. Maybe, yoga is about overcoming your insecurities, focusing on your body and breathing and the learning process, and not what other people think of you. As you can probably see, I no longer had anymore excuses and decided to join a class for beginners. It was sooo worth getting over my anxieties and I recommend it to anyone who's been thinking about going but just too nervous to try it.
Everyone has their own reason for joining yoga and personal goals for their practice. Personally, I joined to improve my flexibility, reduce tension and stress, and heal my headaches. Your goals may be quite different, but that doesn't mean yoga won't benefit you.
Why are thinking of trying yoga? Do you already take part in yoga? If so, what are some of your goals for your practice?

Add a Vintage Effect in digiKam
Want to add a vintage effect to your photos? digiKam has all the tools you need to turn your digital snapshots into vintage masterpieces. Open the photo you want for editing, adjust exposure, white balance, and tweak other settings as you would usually do. The first step in the "aging" process is to add film grain to the photo. To do this, choose Effects → Add Film Grain. There are a lot of parameters you can configure, but you don't have to enable and tweak them all. You can start with adjusting the Grain Size parameter as well as trying different values for parameters in the Luminance Noise section. You can preview the result at any time using the Try button. Next step is to tweak the color balance to make the photo look aged. One way to do this is to tweak the color balance settings, so the photo looks washed out with a slightly yellow cast imitating aged photo paper. Choose Color → Color Balance and adjust the Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow parameters to achieve the desired result.
The exact values for each parameter depend on the given photo and your personal taste, but you can start with the following values:
Cyan: 37
Magenta: 25
Yellow: -25
To make the vintage effect even more realistic, add vignetting to the photo. Choose Enhance → Lens → Vignetting Correction, tick the Add Vignetting check box and adjust the available parameters to your liking. Finally, sharpen the photo using Enhance → Sharpen to make the film grain more pronounced, and you are done.
Instant Vintage Photo Effects with Google Chrome and Lomo+
If you happen to use the Chrome or Chromium browser and you are looking for an easy way to spice up your photos with vintage effects, the Lomo+ web app is right up your alley. Using the app, you can apply a wide range of high-quality vintage effects to any photo on the web without leaving the convenience of your browser.
Once installed, Lomo+ adds the Modify in Lomo+ command to the right-click context menu, and you can use this command to open a photo in a web page in the Lomo+ editor. While Lomo+ cannot open photos stored on your machine, you can work around this limitation by uploading the photo you want to give a makeover to Flickr or any other photo sharing service, and then open the full-size version of the photo in Lomo+. The Lomo+ editor puts 12 artistic vintage effects right at your fingertips. Click on the effect you like, and you will see the result almost instantaneously (the time it takes to process the photo depends, of course, on its size). To save the processed photo, use the Save Image command. Right-click then on the generated thumbnail and save the photo on your machine. That's all there is to it.
Instant Vintage Photo Effects with the FIL Script for GIMP
You can emulate different vintage photo effects in GIMP, but usually this is a rather laborious and time-consuming process that requires some editing chops. Fortunately, the Film Imitation Lab (FIL) script lets you turn plain snaps into eye-popping vintage photos with a minimum of effort.
To install FIL on Linux, download the latest release of the script, unpack the downloaded archive, and move two .scm files from the resulting folder to the ~/.gimp.2.6/scripts directory. Some of the FIL script's functionality depends on two plugins: Fix-CA and G'MIC. The Fix-CA script is distributed as a C source file, so you have to compile it yourself. To do this, install the required development library. On Debian and Ubuntu, this can be done by executing the following command as root:
apt-get install libgimp2.0-dev
Once the library has been installed, run the gimptool-2.0 –install fix-ca.c command to compile and install the Fix-CA plugin. Next, grab the G'MIC plugin for your platform, unpack the downloaded archive and move the gmic_gimp file from the resulting folder to the ~/.gimp.2.6/plugins directory. Launch GIMP and choose Filters » RSS » FIL check plugins to make sure that all the required plugins are installed properly. FIL is now ready to go. Open the desired photo in GIMP and launch FIL by choosing Filters » RSS » FIL.
The FIL script breaks photo processing into three stages: correcting color, adding grain, and applying vignetting. If specified, the script can also perform exposure correction, which is done prior to applying any effects.
The FIL dialog window lets you specify settings for each stage of the process. To apply color effects, tick the Colorcorrection stage check box and select the desired preset from the Color process drop-down list. To give the photo a distinctive vintage look, FIL lets you add grain to it. Enable the Grane stage option and select a grain type from the Grain process drop-down list. Which color process preset and grain type to choose depends on your taste and the given photo, and the best way to find out which combination works best for the current photo is to try them all.
Vignetting (dark corners at the edges of the photo) is often considered a problem, but it can also be used as a creative effect that draws attention to the main subject on the photo. To add vignetting to the photo using FIL, tick the Enable vignette check box and adjust the available parameters.
To make the vintage effect even more realistic, you can add a lens defect effect to the photo by enabling the Border blur feature which does exactly what its name says: it adds blur typical for defective or low-quality lenses to the borders of the photo.
Enabling the Write options in layer's name option saves the selected color process preset and grain type as the name of the current layer. Choose, for example, the SOV: normal preset and the Sulfide: grunge grain type, and FIL sets the layer name to -c SOV: normal -g Sulfide: grunge. This feature can come in handy for keeping track of the settings you used for the given photo. If the current photo consists of several layers, make the layer you want to use with FIL visible and tick the Work with visible check box.
Once you're happy with the settings, press the OK button and the script transforms the original image into a vintage photo based on the specified settings.
While you can use FIL to tweak individual photos, the script also allows you to batch process multiple images in one fell swoop. To process several photos, choose Filters » RSS » FIL Batch, specify the source and target directories, and tweak the settings for each stage. Alternatively, you can tick the Random mode check box. In this case, FIL will use random color process presets and grain types for each photo in the batch. Press OK and the script does the rest.

There have been hot-shooting nights against teams like Boise State and Colorado that have led to wins for Utah.
There have been stirring late-minute rallies, like the one against Arizona State. Beating Washington on the road required the Utes to hold off a last-second comeback against the shooting of C.J. Wilcox.
A 72-61 win over Oregon State on Thursday night before 8,019 at the Huntsman Center was quite different. It felt different. It looked different.
This was an old-fashioned whipping of OSU, a win that drove the Beavers into submission. By the middle of the second half, Oregon State's Craig Robinson was finished coaching, sitting motionless on the bench other than hastily waving a sub into the game.
The drama dissipated three minutes after halftime. By the end, the Beavers had no intention of playing defense, allowing Utah any shot it wanted down the stretch.
"We took a lot of five shots," point guard Brandon Taylor said. "Coach numbers our shots from one through five, with five being the highest. We took a lot of five shots for sure tonight."
In the transition to the Pac-12, 40 minutes of dominance on the part of the Utes hasn't exactly been frequent. In that light — and the fact that Oregon State blew Utah out in early February — this registers as one of the most impressive wins of the season.
And one of the more important. Utah began the night in last place. The Utes are now 10th, leap-frogging Oregon State and Washington State. The victory halted a four-game losing streak. It's the first time in 10 games that Utah has outrebounded its opponent. And the fourth league win of the season trumps the 2012 Pac-12 victory total.
"I think we came out and played a well-rounded game," coach Larry Krystkowiak said. "Guys were defending well. I think we moved the ball well and played a pretty unselfish game. We had a good week of practice, and guys responded."
Freshman forward Jordan Loveridge played one of his best games of the season, scoring 17 points and grabbing 12 rebounds — his fourth double-double of the season. He controlled the boards, beat OSU's big men off the dribble and created plays for himself and his teammates.
Jason Washburn became the 35th player in school history to score 1,000 career points with a layup in the first half. His 15 points, eight rebounds and three blocked shots served as an able complement to the game Loveridge put together.
Senior guard Jarred DuBois scored 15 points, handed out six assists and grabbed four rebounds. Taylor scored 12 points and made an impact by hitting four 3-pointers.
Utah trailed 1-0, its final deficit. At its apex, the lead swelled to 19 points by the middle of the second half.
Only a late run by Beavers made the score look somewhat respectable. The Utes forced turnovers. They blocked shots. They controlled Joe Burton, who had a great game against them in Corvallis. They basically did everything they didn't do last month against Oregon State.
"They punked us up there," Washburn said. "They killed us rebounding, and we reversed that tonight. I think we're a better team that what we've shown this season. We're better than our record. We just came out and played hard tonight."
Storylines Utes snap 4-game skid
R Utah trails Oregon State once, at 1-0.
• Jordan Loveridge scores 17 points and grabs 12 rebounds.
• Utah moves to 12-17 on the season.

Gov. Rick Snyder: Michigan improving in national business tax rankings as 'reinvention' continues
Jonathan Oosting | firstname.lastname@example.com
February 13, 2012, 2:20PM
Snyder, speaking today to the Detroit Economic Club, said preliminary data from the Tax Foundation indicates that Michigan has jumped from 49th to 7th in a national ranking of corporate tax burden by state.

Real nerds don't make faith-based tax policy
Susan J. Demas | Political columnist for MLive.com
May 02, 2011, 11:27AM
There's one thing that genuinely confuses me. There is no dashboard, no benchmarks for the centerpiece of Snyder's plan -- his $1.7 billion business tax cut. The governor is engaging in faith-based tax policy -- which is often politically popular, and certainly is with his Republican base -- but this is not the stuff of cold-eyed economists.

Rick Snyder, savior-in-chief
Susan J. Demas | Political columnist for MLive.com
December 10, 2010, 9:28AM
Rick Snyder wasn't just elected governor on Nov. 2. He also won the role of savior-in-chief. That's not really an exaggeration judging by editorials from papers across the state. Liberal editorial boards hail Snyder as someone who will bring bipartisanship and outside-the-box thinking to Lansing. Conservative writers laud him as the corporate antidote to the poison that Jennifer Granholm was to the economy. It is also rumored that Michigan will no longer have winter and the Lions will have a winning record, too.

Nike Dunk Mid Decon Premium
September 26th, 2011 by Aaron Hope | No comments
September has already seen a two-pack of Dunk High AC Quickstrikes that Nike Sportswear crafted with a 'Deconstructed' look and name, about half of their new Air Ralston lifestyle midtops have a floppy, minimal build, and now another Dunk with a different feel thanks to the classic cupsole. All-suede bodies on these new Nike Dunk Mid Decon Premiums also gives a more traditional feel, though the 'Mid' designation and differing eyelet-wing placements on these preview images compounds the curiosity given that outside of a scant few GS drops, NSW has only issued Highs and Lows to this point in history. But without a strap like Nike SB's, these don't look all that different from highs from a distance; it'll be interesting to see how the fit and overall look compares to 1985′s all-timer. Click through to see the Old Royal, Dragon Red and Grain Dunk Mid Decons and let us know which ones you'll pick up when they hit in Q2 2012. via CK

List of Aphorisms
A Jewish Deduction
The Bible dictates that "Thou shalt not seethe [=cook] a kid [= young goat] in his mother's milk". To avoid any possibility of breaking that regulation, the Jewish tradition ruled that it also applies to female goats, to mature goats, and to the meat and milk of two completely unrelated goats. It is also forbidden to eat the meat with fresh milk, and it applies to beef and mutton as well (including mixing the milk and meat of two different beasts). Finally, chicken, which are incapable of milk production, may not be eaten along with any mammal's milk either.
We are fortunate that most mathematicians were not Jewish. Otherwise, it would have been forbidden to divide by all numbers between -1 and 1.
This bit used to appear on my signature for a short while, but people got mad because it was too long, so I replaced it.
I Used to be Arrogant
I used to be arrogant. Now I'm simply perfect.
This bit was once said by a relative of mine…
Murphy's Law
If the ancient Greeks had invented UNIX, Murphy's Law would have been known as Aristotle's Law.
Had they invented MS-Windows, Murphy's Law would have been known as the Law of Socrates.
Microsoft's Slogan
Microsoft's slogan used to be "Microsoft - making it all make sense."
Today it should be: "Microsoft - making everything make sense. Ours."
And another twist:
"Microsoft - friendliness is our outstanding quality. No matter how much we mess up your computer work, we will always consider you our friend."
The American Lottery
The American Lottery - all you need is a dollar and a dream. We will take the dollar, but you can keep the dream.
I don't Believe in Fairies
I don't believe in fairies. Oops! A fairy died.
I don't believe in fairies. Oops! Another fairy died.
I don't really know who said it, so it's possible that I invented it.

The prefix "God Said"
The prefix "God Said" has the extraordinary logical property of converting any statement that follows it into a true one.
Deltas to "Shit Happens" according to Religions
Judaism: God knows you will do shit, does nothing to prevent it, but makes you take the blame for it anyway.
Or alternatively:
God is all the shit, all the non-shit and all the intermediate demi-shits in between.

Computer Science and C Programming
"Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes"
Edsger W. Dijkstra
"C programming is no more about computers than astronomy is about stars."
Shlomi Fish
A more experienced programmer…
A more experienced programmer does not make less bugs. He just realizes what went wrong more quickly.
I promised, I forgot, I broke my promise…
I promised, I forgot, I broke my promise - just shoot me and get on with it!
Potentially some famous last words, I also came up with this bit, and I'm not sure if I heard it before.
The First Phrase that needs to be Taught
The first phrase that needs to be taught when teaching a new language is how to say "Do you speak English?".
The first thing that needs to be taught when teaching a new computer tool is how to exit it.
If A is A and A is not not-A…
1. A is A.
2. A is not not-A.
does it also imply that:
1. B is B.
2. B is not not-B.
If you don't understand it, either forget it or consult the following threads: Usenet, Haifa Linux Club
I know I'm blonde…
I know I'm blonde, but I have to colour my hair brown, so people would not think I'm stupid. Because, like the title of the book says: "You've only got Three Seconds".
Actually, since Amazon sent us two books like that, you've only got six seconds.
Re-inventing the Wheel
He who re-invents the wheel, will understand much better how a wheel works.
He who re-invents the wheel, may actually invent a much better wheel.
Nadav Har'El's response was:
He who re-invents the wheel will likely design a square wheel and spend a year trying to figure out why it doesn't work properly.
C++ and Object-Oriented Programming
IMO, C++ supports Object-Oriented Programming roughly as much as COBOL supports Functional Programming.
You have to be a relatively experienced hacker to get this joke. So don't worry if you don't understand it.
A Better Alternative
Sometimes you don't need to be familiar with a better alternative to know that something sucks. Take Microsoft Word for example.
This was said by my friend
Good Student vs. Bad Student
The difference between a good student and a bad student is that a bad student forgets the material five minutes before the test, while a good student five minutes afterwards.
This was said by a lecturer of mine.
If it was not Clear
I hope that if it was not clear before, it is not less clear now.
Also by a lecturer.

Sarah Michelle Gellar's Next Movie
[Discussing the shortage of IT workers as of 1998 on E-mail]
Shlomi Fish to Omer Zak: "Even the NSA doesn't have enough programmers. But it is not likely that they will have more, and that's because Summerschool at the NSA, may might as well be the name of Sarah Michelle Gellar's next movie."
Omer Zak to Shlomi Fish: "And as opposed to I Know What You Did Last Summer, it is going to be scary."
Objective Philosophy…
Objective philosophy is like a pencil sharpener for one's mind.
Taking a Turing Test
> Shlomi,
> Have you ever considered taking a Turing test? ;-)
Sure I did. I sat at one point of an IRC channel, and someone tested me. Eventually it was discovered that I am a computer, but it turned out the other side was an Eliza program. Strangely enough, I could not detect that the latter fact was true.
Hi, Sophie!
Jack: Hi, Sophie!
Sophie: Don't "Hi, Sophie!" me.
Jack: Don't "Don't 'Hi, Sophie!' me" me!
Corollary of Godwyn's Law

Muli: BTW, I think that any discussion only begins to gain momentum when I mention Freecell Solver.

There's no point in keeping an idea to yourself since there's a 10 to 1 chance that somebody already has it and will share it before you.

Foreign Languages
[Discussing Foreign Languages Knowledge in the U.S.A]
Ben Collins-Sussman: Tis' true, unlike Europe, the language doesn't change every 100 miles.

In Philosophy, as much as in software engineering,
In Philosophy, as much as in software engineering, you don't get credit for originality. What matters is the final product, not who came up with the idea for each feature first.
He has a high degree of…
He has a high degree of idealism, a high degree of stubbornness, and an even higher degree of inability to distinguish between the two.
I originally thought of something similar to that about Richard M. Stallman who has headed the Free Software Foundation and its GNU project since it's inception. He is known for his radical and non-comprising views that combine both idealism and just plain stubbornness. Otherwise, he's a great and noble guy, and I had the opportunity of meeting and talking him during his visit to Israel. (He is much more pleasant in real life than online.)
Hacker Sees Bug
Hacker sees bug. Hacker does not want bug. Hacker fixes bug.
I was told that the natural continuation to this should be "Hack, hacker, hack!"
95% of Programmers
Linus Torvalds: "95% of Programmers consider themselves in the top 5%".

Jewish Atheists are the only true Atheists. They beat the hell out of Goy Atheists.

The bad thing about hardware is that it sometimes works and it sometimes doesn't. The good thing about software is that it's consistent: it always does not work, and it always does not work in exactly the same way.

Pedantic People
I often wonder why I hang out with so many people who are so pedantic. And then I remember - because they are so pedantic.
An Israeli Perl Monger
I Met a Guy in the Bar
I met a guy in the bar, talked to her and she gave me her phone number.
This is an anti-thesis to the fact that many Feminazis claim that using "girl" for "a female guy", is derogatory, despite the fact that it is very common, and quite harmless. In Hebrew, there's a perfectly good word for a girl, which is not a female child, and since I think in Hebrew about 50% of the time, I tend to import such things into my English speech. There are much worse derogatory etymologies in Hebrew of course, but "guy"/"girl" is not one of them.
While as a general rule I support the woman liberation movement, and believe in equality of opportunities among the genders, I still don't believe that a Politically-Correct re-engineering of the English language to be 100% gender-neutral (and mostly only the English language, because most other European and Semitic languages are not gender-neutral, and even have genders for objects) is a good idea. I also don't believe in applying government control in order to "promote" women, and think that members of both genders, and all other divisions should learn to cope with discrimination and other abuse as they encounter it, instead of just bitching about how they were discriminated against, or accusing the other party of being "sexist" or "racist" or whatever.
So I'm going to continue using "girl" for a "female guy", regardless of what other people think. I also don't mind using the term nazi for someone who's unnecessarily strict or calling Black people "Negros", which is just the Spanish word for the colour "Black".

Centre for Multidisciplinary & Intercultural Inquiry (CMII) at UCL is unique in offering graduate students the opportunity to investigate Europe in its entirety, from European integration and public policy to European cinema and poetry.
The central London location offers easy access to the British Library, British Museum, Institute of Germanic and Romance Studies, German Historical Institute, Goethe Institute, Institut Français, and other similar research and cultural centres.
Less than three hours away from Brussels and Paris, nowhere enjoys such a range of resources and such a favourable location for the study of Europe.
Students undertake modules to the value of 180 credits. Two pathways are offered: Taught and Research. Taught: three core modules (90 credits), optional inter-faculty modules (30 credits) and a dissertation (60 credits). Research: Taught modules (90 credits) and a dissertation (90 credits).
A Postgraduate Diploma (120 credits, full-time nine months or part-time two years) is offered.
Core Modules
All MA students undertake an independent research project which culminates in a dissertation of approximately 12,000 words, or 18,000 words for the research pathway.
Teaching and Learning
Key aspects of European theory and culture are taught through participation in lectures and seminars. Through feedback sessions on presentations and essays, students are encouraged to reflect on, and improve, their own work. Assessment is through a combination of coursework essays, unseen written examinations, and the dissertation.
Further details available on subject website:
Those applying for UCL scholarships should take note of relevant deadlines.
Further information about funding and scholarships can be found on the Scholarships and funding website.
