They really ought to re-do that commercial, but use Jobs's face for the giant talking on-screen head.

I read this today in another forum and thought I'd share...
Our teacher asked what my favorite animal was, and I said, "Fried chicken." She said I wasn't funny, but she couldn't have been right, because everyone else laughed.
My parents told me to always tell the truth. I did. Fried chicken is my favorite animal. I told my dad what happened, and he said my teacher was probably a member of PETA. He said they love animals very much.I do, too. Especially chicken, pork and beef. Anyway, my teacher sent me to the principal's office. I told him what happened, and he laughed, too. Then he told me not to do it again.
The next day in class my teacher asked me what my favorite live animal was. I told her it was chicken. She asked me why, so I told her it was because you could make them into fried chicken. She sent me back to the principal's office. He laughed, and told me not to do it again. I don't understand. My parents taught me to be honest, but my teacher doesn't like it when I am.
Today, my teacher asked me to tell her what famous person I admired most. I told her, "Colonel Sanders."
Guess where the HELL I am now . . .
So what's your favorite animal?

Tough to choose.. I'd say ants - very efficient, selfless and motivated creatures. If only developers were the same!
How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

Nope, I'm a developer too.. The first step in fixing a problem is realising what the problem is

You should stop developing.

So ants are becoming more like developers then?

Seriously, I've seen software projects exactly the same as that.

I'll believe it when I see the hardware actually leave low Earth orbit and go past the Moon in 4 hours, using no other propulsion system.
(I'm making it easy for you; you don't have to take off from Earth or land on the Moon.)
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Exactly!
On a side note, I would rather see it. And yesterday please!

Me too. If it works (a big if, at present), it would be the biggest advance in space exploration since the Chinese invented rockets.

To quote the article "It produces thrust by using solar power to generate multiple microwaves that move back and forth in an enclosed chamber." - the sad part is that having read that I am still not surprised that some people believe it will produce thrust.
Sigh

There is some serious research going on with this; may come to nothing but the geeks who work in this area seem impressed enough to do that research and see if the idea has any merit. When they come back and cry foul, then I'll dismiss it - until then... why not? They admit they're not sure why it works.

The one thing that all these machines, that defy the current laws physics, appear to have in common is that:
1 - the machines no longer exist.
2 - the inventor has died or refuses to release the secret.
3 - the government has bought the patent and destroyed all evidence.
When I see the science proving this then I will be convinced(independent blind tests at the very least with thorough statistical analysis) - until then I am deeply sceptical.
