    File sharing apps (Like KaZaA)

    I just found out at the weekend that Morpheous & KaZaA install spyware on your computer

    Some guy was telling me that 1000 people have been sued by FACT for downloading pirate software/mp3's/films

    Anyway.. good morning

    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.

    Me and manuals usually don't go together. While she's studying the manual intensely, I'm usually pushing every available button
    In the end I know how to operate the bloody thing before she finished the manual.
    Who needs manuals anyway ?
