About M$ !!!!

Read a funny one. Thought of sharing some excerpts from it.
-------------
Did you folks hear about the latest Microsoft Excel Fiasco? Apparently, Excel 2007 can't do simple multiplication! Typing 850 x 77.1 gives the answer as 100,000 instead of the correct 65,535. I'm not kidding.

Let me be the first to say that this is not a bug, it's a feature. People familiar with this situation will have heard of this legend:

Q: How many Bill Gates' does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. Bill Gates will declare darkness to be the new industry standard.


Now that's what I call a really innovative company. A company becomes innovative by challenging the rules of the game. Microsoft is challenging the very core of Mathematics. You can't get more innovative than that.

And these mathematical rules are arbitrary anyway. Most people falsely believe that Mathematics is the language of the universe, and that the laws of mathematics hold absolutely. Huh! Some people will believe anything. Remember how people once thought that the Earth was flat? And Galileo challenged that? Well, by challenging the rules of Mathematics, Bill Gates has proven that he is the Galileo of our age.

From now on, numbers between 65,536 and 99,999 will be banned from our civilization. Don't worry, that's only a few numbers, no one will miss them. And we have lots of numbers, anyway. And there will be strict penalties for violating this rule.

Small Kid: "Mummy, mummy, what number comes after 65,535?"
Mum: "100,000 baby"
Small Kid: "What about 65,536?"
Mum: "Oh NO!"
The room turns into a bright blue color. The Blue-Screen-Of-Death monster emerges from nowhere and swallows the kid.
Mum: "Stupid Kid! That's what happens when you don't obey Microsoft."

And thanks to Microsoft, our world will be a safer place. We can all thank Microsoft, for the fantastic innovations they have delivered over the years. Some readily come to mind:

1. Windows hangs every 15 minutes and needs to be restarted. This is to prevent eye strain and Carpel Tunnel Syndrome.
2. The "friendly" Clippy from Office 2000. Who can forget the enormous help and "tips" that Clippy has provided over the years.
3. Putting the "Shutdown" button under the "Start" menu. The most logical choice! Reminds you that you have to start before you can stop. Deeply Philosophical.

The Dangerous Drug !!!

Well, Its time for me to get bit philosophical. I m searching answers for the questions that are perturbing me. About what ?? Well, Its about love and the commitment required for that. So far I didn't get a very good feeling about love. It seems like its a beautiful luring orange for the inexperienced. But the experienced say that if u pare the rinds you will find only rotten peels.
Is that due to the pangs of unrequited love or is it the truth?

One thing I really observed is the way it actually provokes people. I bet there is no drug so powerful as love. I want to talk about a guy I know. His plaint disposition is the major reason behind this blog. I know him for a long time and he was doing good before he got committed to a girl. Even after getting committed he used to tell that he is the most fortunate person in this world until he was plundered by a maelstrom of bitter emotions. It really showed the ignoble beast inside him. He was desolated and forgot about all his lofty ambitions. He got lost completely pushing himself and his career into doldrums.

I wanted look at the situation with equanimity. He used to be headstrong and tend to flout frankly if something goes wrong. As she was a recalcitrant it often results in a stilted conversation which eventually results in a unruly squabble. Ultimately the girl rescinded the love that was celebrated till then. Then the beast inside that guy showed up and shouted libelous statements that are leavened with a touch of unwarranted anger that I have never seen in him. And both feel that they were goaded beyond endurance by each other and they are not fit for each other.

My question here is where is the commitment?? If they can't compromise on certain things and think that they can't live with it how they got into such intimate relationship in the first place??? Or is this because of not having a tenacious hold on the relationship??

This guy is wasting his time crying wistfully as the halcyon days waft across his thoughts. As all his beliefs are just a reverie now what is the way out for him?? He lost the charm in his personal life and is not sincere in his work also. Is it acceptable if he spoils his promising career like this for someone who rejected him??? Languished with the bitter memories he is neither loyal to his company nor to his parents. Should this guy be punished or rehabilitated? Should he supplicate to her if she comes back even after all sufferings he has undergone???

Now I'm forced to conclude that,
LOVE IS REALLY MERETRICIOUS !!!!!!
