If computer languages were car..

==> C is a racing car that goes incredibly fast but breaks down every fifty miles. 

==> C++ is a souped-up racing car with dozens of extra features that only breaks down every 250 miles, but when it does, nobody can figure out what went wrong. 

==> Java is a family station wagon. It's easy to drive, it's not too fast, and you can't hurt yourself. 

==> C# is a competing model of family station wagons. Once you use this, you're never allowed to use the competitors' products again. 

==> Lisp looks like a car, but with enough tweaking you can turn it into a pretty effective airplane or submarine. 

==> Perl is supposed to be a pretty cool car, but the driver's manual is incomprehensible. Also, even if you can figure out how to drive a perl car, you won't be able to drive anyone else's. 

==> Python is a great beginner's car; you can drive it without a license. Unless you want to drive really fast or on really treacherous terrain, you may never need another car. 

==> Ruby is a car that was formed when the Perl, Python and Smalltalk cars were involved in a three-way collision. A Japanese mechanic found the pieces and put together a car which many people think was better than the sum of the parts. 

==> Fortran is a pretty primitive car; it'll go very quickly as long as you are only going along roads that are perfectly straight. It is believed that learning to drive a Fortran car makes it impossible to learn to drive any other model. 

==> Cobol is reputed to be a car, but no self-respecting driver will ever admit having driven one. 

==> Assembly Language is a bare engine; you have to build the car yourself and manually supply it with gas while it's running, but if you're careful it can go like a bat out of hell. 

Velocity 2010: Tom Cook, "A Day in the Life of Facebook Operations"

                

What’s it like working as an engineer on one of the world’s busiest web sites? At Velocity 2010, Facebook System Engineer Tom Cook provided a glimpse inside the operations team with his “Day in the Life” presentation. Cook provides a high-level overview of Facebook, reviews some statistics on the site’s usage, data center footprint and the software used to power the site. This video runs about 40 minutes.

                      

Simple Ways to Reduce Stress

Never borrow from the future... If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain... Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice..! 


Go to bed on time. 

Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed. 
 
Say No to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health. 

Delegate tasks to capable others. 

Simplify and unclutter your life. 

 
Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.) 

Allow extra time to do things and to get to places. 

Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don't lump the hard things all together. 
 

Take one day at a time. 

Separate worries from concerns . If a situation is a concern, find out what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety . If you can't do anything about a situation, forget it. 

Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases. 

Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc. 

K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble.     

 Do something for the Kid in You everyday. 

Get enough rest. 
 
Eat right. 
 

Get organized so everything has its place. 

Listen to a tape while driving that can help improve your quality of life. 

Write down thoughts and inspirations. 
 
Every day, find time to be alone. 

Laugh. 

Laugh some more! 

 
Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all. 
 
Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can). 
Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most). 

Sit on your ego. 

Talk less; listen more. 


Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe. 

Slow down.

Le test etait d’aller cueillir des fruits dans la foret et les ramener. Chacun partit et revint avec des fruits differents!

Dominique cueillit 3 pommes. Le chef des cannibals lui dit ‘Mettre pommes dans ton Q... si toi pas arriver, toi mourir.." Dominique reussit à mettre la première puis la deuxième... sur la troisième pomme, il n’en pouvait plus! Il tomba raide de douleur et on le tua!

Kevin revint avec 10 cerises... On lui ordonna de faire la meme chose... Il y était presque, mais sur la dernière cerise, il commença à rire et perdit la vie a son tour.

Arrivé au paradis, Dominique s’exclama "Ta Kevin..to ti pres pou reussi sauve to la vie taa! Kifer tone riyer???"

Conversation between two friends who have just migrated to Australia...

Zozefine: Alo my dear! What manner? Are you well?

Marzorie: Like this like that.

Zozefine: Where are you going on your thirty-one like that, hair in the wind? Did you sell your pig?

Marzorie: I tell you a secret. I am going frequenting. I told mama I am going magazines. 

Zozefine: Enough! since when do you have a pointer.

Marzorie: Since last week but rest quiet. We are joining in hide. You know how those long tongues like to make commentaries.

Zozefine: Extra that! Don't talk! Where does he rest?

Marzorie: He rests behind the bazaar after the round point in a flat with two chambers on the second stage. 

Zozefine: Where did you join him?

Marzorie: I joined him at a mauritian ball. He lifted me to dance a slow. He made sweet eyes at me and I made a colinos smile at him.

He traces very well. When he dances the Sega he breaks, breaks his kidneys and does small steps, small steps. He wore an elephant leg costume which has returned in the mode with varnished shoes. He invited me at his table and offered me fried bread with apple of love chutney and asked me if I wanted a little strong. We drank a health and then we went outside to pull a dam. Since then we have been seeing our comrade underneath, underneath.

Zozefine: How does he call?

Marzorie: He calls Zerard Beautiful heart.

Zozefine: A beautiful boy?

Marzorie: Yes, he resembles a little bit like Sacha Distel.

Zozefine: I can see he is tiring your head.

Marzorie: I husband like him!

Zozefine: Business is good, serious serious. Is marriage behind the door?

Marzorie: I am not pressed. I have to look well. Attention after marriage he pulls his long tail with me.

Zozefine: You have reason don't be pressed. You have to profit life and amuse yourself well before.

Marzorie: My taxi has arrived an i need to go shopping in melbourne , my car is in pane. I'm retarded, let me go. We'll join later.

Zozefine: Salam my sister, make compliments to your pointer for me.
