What happens when Aliens have been drinking and driving?



It may look like the latest aliens to land on our planet have been drinking and driving, but these bizarre patterns, discovered in a corn field in Holland, have a much more mundane explanation.

They were made by a drug user who was attempting to escape from police in his father's car. The man had been using cocaine.

Four police cars were damaged in a desperate attempt to prevent the crazed driver from reaching public roads, but they could not save the crop from irrepairable damage.

In the end, the man was captured when he crashed the car into a ditch.

What To Do To Resist Adding New Features To Your Project?



Product managers, marketing managers, sales managers and customers will always push to add new features to your project. It is very hard for developers and engineers to argue against adding new features for many reasons.

So here is what you do:

  • Get really excited about the new features

  • Agree to add the new features

  • Congratulate them on coming up with the new features

  • Here it comes:

  • Tell them, very casually; that the new features will delay the project by 3 weeks and that you will need another tester for 1 week.


The magic:

Managers and customers will immediately stop you and tell you to forget about the new features because managers and customers will always push the developers to add new features with the assumption that the golden three: cost, time and resources will not change.

Linux-based websites 'perform better'



Linux-based websites perform better than those hosted on Windows servers, according to research.

WatchMouse, a Dutch firm that monitors server performance, based its research on a survey of over 1,500 European websites. The company says that, although the websites it surveyed were more frequently based on Microsoft's IIS web server platform running Windows than on Apache running Linux, the latter option performed better in terms of both uptime and load time.

French government officials have been ordered not to use handheld Blackberry devices amid fears that foreigners could spy on them, reports say.

Workers in the French president's and prime minister's office have been told their e-mails risk falling into foreign hands, Le Monde newspaper reports.

Safari 3, now on Windows



"The World's best browser"
"Up to 2 times faster than Internet Explorer"
"Fastest, easiest-to-use web browser in the world"

as claimed in its official website

My two cents:
It's hard to ask current IE, Firefox and Opera supporters to switch to Safari unless there is compelling reason to switch. I won't (At least for now)

Top 5 Things You Will Hear As A Tall Person



Here are the top five things you will hear as a tall person:

5. How is the weather up there?
Ahhhhh yes, what a great question! Why do people ask this? Do they like to sound ignorant? I don’t want to get into a whole metrological lecture here but I understand that heat rises, so my weather might be a fraction warmer than a shorter person. What are people expecting to hear? “It’s a tornado! Run for your life!

4. What size shoe do you wear?
I understand that most tall people do have larger feet to carry around their bodies and maintain their balance. But is this an appropriate question to ask? Do all people have a foot fetish? The last thing I want to know about someone is their shoe size. Bra size maybe, but why must they go for the feet?

3. Wow, you are tall!
Yes I am and you are ugly, thanks for noticing.

2. How tall are you?
Yet another appropriate question… Why are you asking? Do you work for Guinness? Why does no one else of large size get asked this question? Have you ever seen an overweight person be approached and asked, “Gosh how fat are you?” I doubt it! But for some reason it is OK to ask tall people to spout off their measurements like they are reporting for duty. And it never fails when you answer this question you always get the repeat. “How tall are you?” “I’m 6 foot seven.” “Wow, six foot seven!” Maybe this is to make sure us tall guys know our message has successfully reached the lower part of the atmosphere…..whatever the reason, knock it off!

1. Do you play basketball?
This one is my favorite. I used to be very nice and respond with a, “well yes I did in high school”. But as I have heard this question some 1 million times I have become a little more cynical in my responses. Question “Do you play basketball?” Answer: “No do you jockey a horse?” or “No were you in Willy Wonka?” Once again you don’t see people approaching obese people and asking them if they sumo, or approaching Kenyans and asking when they are running their next marathon.

"Though I thoroughly enjoy being a tall man, I do get tired of the pointless questions. So next time you are out in public and see one of my kind, remember to not ask one of these questions, you might get crushed by a unbelievably large foot!" - From the author
