black is the new beige. so what will be the new black?

"so you had to spend the whole night hacking the framework to make the demo work?"

i engineered a well thought out design to make the demo work. i had to hack myself to make me spend the whole night.

he knew that it was impossible to complete the thesis on schedule. if you have only one week's time, there's only one thing you can fill 120 pages with: complete and utter bullshit. he decided to do so and hoped he could do it so technical that they wouldn't notice.

to me, it is perfectly clear that immunomagnetic beads are uniform superparamagnetic monodisperse polymer particles coated with a monoclonal antibody directed at the target antigen, but how could i explain that to lowly mortals?

if i had to translate perlustrierungspolaroid, i guess in certain situations the best try i could come up with would be search polaroid, whereas in others it would be frisk photo.

Mozilla 1.0 Manifesto

the works of dr. seuss have been translated into over twenty---mostly european---languages. but not into german. in the german language, it is seemingly impossible to construct something like that:

...

I do not like them in a box.
I do not like them with a fox
I do not like them in a house
I do mot like them with a mouse
I do not like them here or there.
I do not like them anywhere.
I do not like green eggs and ham.
I do not like them, Sam-I-am.

A train! A train!
A train! A train!
Could you, would you
on a train?

Not on a train! Not in a tree!
Not in a car! Sam! Let me be!
I would not, could not, in a box.
I could not, would not, with a fox.
I will not eat them with a mouse
I will not eat them in a house.
I will not eat them here or there.
I will not eat them anywhere.
I do not like them, Sam-I-am.

... and so... none of my friends has ever heard about dr. seuss, let alone read how the grinch stole christmas or the cat in the hat as a child. and no one understands my virtuous limerick ...

That mad man called Dr. Seuss
Watches porn when he is on the loose.
Flics with chicks
With dicks and pricks,
Is what he'd usually choose.

during one clock cycle of my floortop's cpu, light travels about the length of my forearm. and you thought light was fast.
synchronizing all parts of a processor core with one clock is a stupid idea anyway, if boasting new frequency numbers is not your main goal.
which it might well be. while the outcomes of more sophisticated approaches to measure cpu power, like MIPS, are instantly recognized as being bogus, GHz, as a measuremend category, are so absolutely simple, that no customer would think of them as complete nonsense.

"my box is faster; while during one of your G4's clock cycles, light travels about the length of your forearm, during one my P4's clock cycles, it only travels about the length of my penis."
