Roland Bär wrote: What about metting some friends from non-developers firms and drinking beer and talk about music, movies, politics Man, I did that a fortnight ago. Back at a mates place after the pub the talk turned to the latest hot political topics - namely the Euro and asylum seekers. Oh dear. It got very heated indeed. There was a full and frank exchange of views!! The amount of alcohol consumed didn't help matters either. Needless to say, last week any talk of politcis was banned completely! :)

Religious Zealots spend the weekend promoting their version of "God", and claiming theirs is the only true religion, and they alone possess the knowledge of of truth and tolerance. And then they kill anyone that doesn't agree. Linux Zealots spend the weekend porting Linux to useful items, such as clay bricks, coffee mugs and a simple desk lamp. Windows Zealots spend the weekend on the phone with Microsoft trying to get their copy of XP activated. Programmers used to spend weekends programming, but since patents are so freely handed out for common knowledge, the act of manually typing in the code is in danger of becoming the IP of SCO. ------- signature starts "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 Please review the Legal Disclaimer in my bio. ------- signature ends

:laugh: Are you religious John? "And then they kill anyone that doesn't agree." Sounds like you with the subtle difference that you do not physically kill your adversaries. :-D John Simmons / outlaw programmer wrote: Linux Zealots spend the weekend porting Linux to useful items, such as clay bricks, coffee mugs and a simple desk lamp. What a coincidence that you mention Linux and clay bricks in the same sentence. I've managed to turn an iPAQ into a very expensive brick by installing Linux on it. I even followed the instructions written by a Compaq employee. I'm beginning to think that employee is connected to Microsoft.. :suss: John Simmons / outlaw programmer wrote: Programmers used to spend weekends programming, but since patents are so freely handed out for common knowledge, the act of manually typing in the code is in danger of becoming the IP of SCO. Heh. It's funny how a shitty company who makes a shitty UNIX can own anything intellectually. Wouldn't that require an intellect? :rolleyes: SCO UNIX is probably the worst garbage I've ever dealt with. I can see why they are pissed at IBM - their OS is crappier than IBMs (AIX). -- Counting the days in the haze around you Susanne let the ether fall Out of phase, I am all around you Susanne on the wall

Here's an idea. Get married, buy a house (an old "fixer-upper" with lots of landscaping to take care of is ideal), and have a few kids. All of a sudden your free time and excess cash are taken care of. Here's my weekend: Tonight - Take the kids out for pizza. Go shopping at Walmart, Costco, and/or HomeDepot. Saturday - Listen to wife nag. Reseed sections of lawn that have beem destroyed (don't ask). Attempt to cut up and burn the root ball of a 50 foot tree we had taken down. listen to wife nag. Take kids swimming / bike riding. Go to nursery to get more trees to repeat the horror. Listen to wife nag. Work on a few electronics / shop projects. Curl up with wife to watch news. Sunday - Listen to wife bitch. Take kids to a park. Listen to wife complain. Continue with whatever chores I have energy for. Listen to wife tell me to hurry up. Go to church (evening service). Try to get gEDA running on FreeBDS. Curl up with wife to watch a movie.

Married men develop a squelch circuit / spam filter for wifely complaints. Parents on the other hand develop a keen ear for the sound of breaking glass, things falling, or muffled tittering.
