    mi·cro (mkr)
    adj.

    Basic or small-scale: the economy's performance at the micro level

    soft (sôft, sft)
    adj. soft·er, soft·est.


    Easily molded, cut, or worked.
    Yielding readily to pressure or weight.
    Out of condition; flabby.
    Smooth or fine to the touch: a soft fabric.



    so basiclly it is a small companie that is easily molded, cut, or worked and yields readily to pressure or weight

    yeah right

    Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.

    1+1=3

    i think
    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.

    According to M$, 1+1=3! Microsoft makes alot of important stuff (O.S.'s, Compilers, Utilities, etc...), but alot of the stuff that they make has bugs, hence the 1+1=3...

    "A place to get good software"?

    Wow... I have some **** on a stick. Would you be interested in that, too? I mean, I can put an MS logo on it if you want. It is just as good as NT 4, Win98, much better than NT 3.51 and WinMe. It isn't quite as good as Win2K. I mean, it runs just as well, it just doesn't look as pretty.

    Well, I mean, it isn't going to fall off the stick or nothing.
