After reading your sig, I've used this line a couple
of times... Thanks. Made me chuckle.


It came to me one day after a particularly frustrating episode
involving a notorious time-waster at a company where I used
to work in the OS support group for an embedded proprietary
RTOS. I finally just blurted that out, and walked away from
the guy who kept insisting that there was something wrong
with the OS and/or debugger because he wasn't hitting a break
point in his code. After about 3 hours or so, of proving 16
ways from Sunday that the break wasn't being taken because
his program wasn't executing the code, I just couldn't take
any more.

One day, some time later, I had another experience with this
guy, and finally I just asked him "What do you want me to do?
Debug your program for you?" His answer, astoundingly, was
"Yes". I told him to call my manager and get him to assign me
to work on his app, and left.

On another occasion somewhat later, I had spent a few hours
once again proving that after he changed his program, and it
quit working, it wasn't because of a defect in the OS which
somehow magically appeared after he changed his program.
I asked him after getting frustrated what did he want me to
do. He said "I want that LED to turn green." We had red/green
LEDs which were red for "Out Of Service" and green for "In Service"
boards. I asked him "You want me to turn that LED green?"
"Yes!" he said.

Ok, I started up the debugger (which I was
also responsible for), and used the port I/O command to
set the bit in an I/O port which turned the LED green.
He was amazed! Just like that, I caused all the programs
to be started, and the board to be put into service!
He wanted me to tell him how I did it, so he could pass
along the wonderful information!

There are other stories just as bad I could tell about
this and other guys, but this probably isn't the place.

Sometimes, I'm amazed that any telephone calls at all
go through, given that there are people like him working
on the code.

It's certainly a figure of speech. Definately an

I'm not so sure about that. It's the way I was taught to spell

them), but I didn't find those spellings mentioned even as archaic

Wikipedia agrees with you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potatoe
The archaic spelling is still acceptable with me, however. (Of course,

I find making fun of a person's particular dialect of a language
rather low-brow, don't you? Many people in Texas pronounce the
word that way. It doesn't mean that they are unintelligent.

Eisenhower used that same pronunciation.

And how about Jack Kennedy and "Cuber"? Didn't make him unintelligent,
did it?

If you want to pick on G.Bush, then pick on his policies, not on
his pronunciation.

"Read my lips" is a metaphor, I do believe.
The literal meaning is "pay close attention to what I say",
so it is certainly a figure of speech.



I disagree. To ask someone to read your lips is literally giving an instruction. "Read" 
as in "read".


Hmm.


Anyway - it's much safer reading someone's lips, rather than a book.

Have you never suffered a paper cut? We're working on banning books (and
obviously all paper items) this side of the Pond. It's part of our
"prevent" rather than "cure" rationale. It'll save the NHS millions.

IIRC, Germany had a similar project in the 1930s.

Why I always say I'm against "crime prevention". We need
crime deterrence, not prevention. "Prevention" means taking action
against people before they commit crimes. Not a Good Idea.

GP is correct.  On this side of the pond, at least.  Instead of
metaphor, though, I'd use the term "expression".

Hah!  We *are* taking over the world, one bad habit at a time.

Now if we could only teach them our childish and immature fear of sex.  
After all, it's a horrid crime to even speak the word here at the wrong

Velveeta.  There's nothing like broccoli smothered in Velveeta.



A little gravy base.  A lot of water.  Some milk.  And your favorite flavor

The same thing seems to be happening in many countries; many other bad
U.S. traits also seem to be gaining traction (e.g., insane car worship).

I suppose in the end it really comes down to the fact that humans are,
generally speaking, lazy and short-sighted, and "virtuous" cultural
attributes tend to come from necessity rather than virtue.  As soon as
the need goes away (due to increased wealth or whatever)...

so you see: an educated and completely wrong guess: i am blushing. 

but: i could tell you a lot about potatoes; especially the older very tasty 
potato-races from the dutch clay. ask me - offline - what you want to know 
about p.e. redstar, bildstar, irene etc.: you are wellcome.

interesting, like potato, because I don't like broccoli :)

guess is  you ask me to stop this thread.

Vă rog să terminaţi cu brocoli. Nu-mi place deloc. Nu putea-ţi să
alegeţi altă plantă mai interesantă? Ca de exemplu cartoful.

waar het hier om gaat, michelle? het verbouwen van broccoli. broccoli kan 
worden uitgezaaid in een goed bemest zaaibed, het liefst op een humeuze 
zandgrond, michelle. dat geeft de beste resultaten. het is één van de meest 
gezonde groentes, mits zonder bestrijdingsmiddelen op een verantwoorde 
biologisch-dynamische wijze verbouwd. ooit verkocht ik dit type groentes in

Just to tell you, it was an outburst, and not a carefull considered reply.

Having said that, my response was also somewhat of an open letter to
the members of this list. I can guess that there are only a handful of
people who would continue this crap, and my letter was meant to
convince not only them that it was foolish, but also others. Also, I
am sure that the moderators will notice this soon.
