Is it the machine that goes "ping"[^]?

No, it's the Masterchef that goes "Ping"[^] (she comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account)

An atheist was walking through the woods.
'What majestic trees!'
'What powerful rivers!'
'What beautiful animals!' He said to himself.
As he was walking alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned to look. He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him.
He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was closing in on him.
He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer.
He tripped and fell on the ground.
He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear was right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to strike him.
At that instant moment, the Atheist cried out: 'Oh my God!'
Time stopped.
The bear froze.
The forest was silent.
As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky.
'You deny my existence for all these years, teach others I don't exist and even credit creation to cosmic accident. Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?'
The atheist looked directly into the light, and said: 'It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christian?'
'Very well', said the voice.
The light went out.
The sounds of the forest resumed.
And the bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws together, bowed his head and spoke:
'Lord bless this food, which I am about to receive from Thy bounty through Christ our Lord, Amen.'

The version of this story they tell in Texas is much shorter:
The atheist raised his revolver. "Say your prayers, bear."
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

You're making me crave for a move in Texas (you and hickock45 on youtube).

For a 7-foot, several hundred pound grizzly bear, you better be packing a .44 caliber magnum and empty the whole thing(*) into him as quickly as you can.
(*) Not an easy thing to do quickly; they kick like a mother...

.44 revolvers were developed exactly for this purpose, as far as I know. Against a bear I would prefer a good rifle.

I'm a little disappointed, I read The Atheist and the Beer.
|
|
|
|
|
The atheist receives a beer. - 'Lord bless this food, which I am about to receive from Thy bounty through Christ our Lord, Amen.'
Sounds right to me.

If he knew his religions right he'd have asked for the bear to be made a Jain, they are vegetarians.

Hi guys, I am several months into my new personal project that I planned to finish in 2 years time. Now I am torn between continue working on this(which I am sure to have lotsa fun doing) or start a new closed source project for purpose of selling to end-user.
In Singapore, it is quite common that senior engineers in their 40s get laid off and replaced by young cheaper workers from neighbor 3rd world countries. I am close to reach my mid-life crisis soon. I am thinking to put my skills to make some passive income.
Making closed source libraries and frameworks is no-no for me as the dev trend now is to use open source. If I am really to make up my mind on this, my choice is web-app or Office plugin. I am undecided what to do yet(personal project versus commercial product). What are your thoughts on this? Have anyone here sell successfully something they have written?

0. The problem that your personal project solves could also be my problem & i could end up paying for your personal project.
1. Or your commercial project may not be solving any ones problem & thus no one may be willing to buy it.
2. Do you go with 0 or 1?

Rather true, my product could be solving a non-existent problem.

I always find the hardest part is coming up with the idea.
