Random Quotes

September 7, 2005 5:49 PM

The writing bug has deserted me lately, so in lieu of real content here are a few random quotes from around the office.

Mike: One student I knew on work experience spent six months doing nothing but installing Windows.
Charles: That sounds like a circle of Hell. I'm sure Dante wrote about it somewhere in the Inferno.
Charles: It's where MCSEs go after they die.

Charles: (quoting the GPL FAQ) Question: "I would like to release a program I wrote under the GNU GPL, but I would like to use the same code in non-free programs."
Charles: Answer: "To release a non-free program is always ethically tainted..." Don't you love Richard Stallman?
Mike: I like that phrase. "Ethically tainted".
Charles: Atlassian
Mike: Yeah, but that has nothing to do with our software...

God bless me, but I swear I kept reading "ethNically tainted".. despite reading it about five times. I must be studying too hard.

Oh, I suspect we'd count as ethnically tainted as well, seeing as I can count at least ten different nationalities in a staff of 20.

the best way to make a fish stand up is to give him some sticks and tell him to fly
