      ... they were discussing names for Windows 8. I just assumed we do the same as for Windows 7. It got the nickname 'Weven'. So Windows 8 should be 'Weight'

      someone in the comments suggested Infinity - pretty reasonable given that '8' resembles infinty :)

        Repost. This was discussed ad-nauseum when the term Weven was coined here. I think I was the person that coined the term Weven.

                  Well, with Weven, we wemoved wone wetter... (Sorry, the alliteration was getting to me)... So, keeping with that pattern, Windows Eight becomes... Wight[^]: 1. (archaic) A living creature, especially a human being. -- Does this mean Wight ==> Skynet? 2. (paganism) A being of one of the Nine Worlds of heathen belief, especially a nature spirit, elf or ancestor. -- That gives me a kind of Lovecraft vibe... Is Microsoft going to spawn Cthulu? 3. (poetic) A ghost or other supernatural entity. -- So basically, it's a manifestation of evil that will creep its way into our computers, possess them, and slowly corrupt them from the inside... But I thought we'd already covered that with Vista. Whichever definition you follow, it sounds like bad news... I think we should all wait for Wine.

                    The term "smoking-gun" is a reference from 19th century literature, describing a just-fired weapon as "smoking". Gun smoke is created as a result of both the chemical composition of gun power from that era, and the burning off of various gun cleaning/lubrication checmicals due to extreme heat caused by the discharge of the weapon. Powder nowadays is smokeless, and advances in cleaning solvents and oils somewhat inhibits the production of resulting smoke/vapors, thus allowing faster follow-up shots.

                                  With their plans to make W8 a tablet OS which is somehow desktop compatible, the name of the next mass OS will be AFD (Android For Desktops).

                                        The term "smoking-gun" is a reference from 19th century literature, describing a just-fired weapon as "smoking". Gun smoke is created as a result of both the chemical composition of gun power from that era, and the burning off of various gun cleaning/lubrication checmicals due to extreme heat caused by the discharge of the weapon. Powder nowadays is smokeless, and advances in cleaning solvents and oils somewhat inhibits the production of resulting smoke/vapors, thus allowing faster follow-up shots.

                                        It must have been fun to use a Gatling in those times. After a few hundred rounds you had to take a short break and let the smoke clear up before you could aim again.

                                          Abu Adam! I'm pretty good mate, actively looking for a job in North America (which will be the subject of my next post) as I plan to move in a month's time. How are things at your end? How's the tiny tot? :)

                                          Probably a good move. Canadia by any chance?

                                          Best not discussed on an open forum. Working practises here are erm, interesting.

                                          Not so tiny, it's his 6 month birthday ( I'm off to buy a cupcake and will add half a candle as a joke)today, but for his age he's tall. He's begining to turn into a cute mini-human being now rather than an ultra-cute eating and excreting machine. It's the sweetest thing when they smile and interact. He's also threatening to crawl which is going to be a problem give how small and crowded our flat is. [edit] Must meet up if you are about. Ramadan was a killer BTW.
