PUBLIC MARKS with search stupid

So, we developed a don't-ask/don't-tell policy of making private copies of documents and carrying them around with us. Engineers, to generalize, hate waiting around for stupid reasons, and having documents meant that we could get to work. It also made us look better, since we got things done on time, instead of having to send out lame excuses that we're late because we're waiting on a fax.

Let me explain why and how this happened. Years ago an Italian writer wrote a book (not a great book), a story about teenagers, love and death. A scene in this book described two lovers who hooked a lock at Ponte Milvio, in Rome, in the name of their love. Since the book began very famous in Italy among teenagers, all lovers (all teenagers) began to hook their lockets on every bridge, everywhere in Italy: in Florence they began on Ponte Vecchio as well, wasting the beauty of the Art. It’s very difficult remove them, in fact. I hope this stupid behaviour will stop soon, but as I can see it’s common also in France now. It’s epidemic.

Montreal retailer Yasmine Wasfy said she might start including sales tax in her ticketed prices, to soften the blow.

"We're hoping that it's going to be less of a sticker shock at the cash, once they come in, and they just know what they're spending."

Yeah, I've got to chime in here. I've given upstart a chance for many versions now, as pointed out above. It is a nightmare. Its not more configurable, its less configurable and radically unstable, AND undocumented. Everything everyone used to claim about Linux is now true.

Upstart has taken away the benefit of running Linux machines. Unfortunately this is me and my boss talking. We've been searching for six hours now to try and figure out how to get one stinking runlevel to boot to the command line. All we can find is that its an all or nothing deal. Thats BS. Whos stupid idea was it to integrate gdm like that? And the answer isn't edit /etc/init/gdm.conf. That doesn't work. It gives a huge font and leaves you on the wrong tty.

Ubuntu : pour le plaisir de casser ce qui marche.
