IE Commands 94.8 Percent of Web Usage
In news that should surprise no one, Microsoft Internet Explorer
(IE) dominates the Web with 94.8 percent of all Web usage worldwide,
according to market researchers at OneStat.com. Broken down into
specific versions, IE 6.0 is number one with 68.1 percent of the
market, followed by IE 5.5 (13.8 percent), IE 5.0 (11.8), Mozilla
(1.8), Opera Software's Opera 7.0 (0.8), IE 4.0 (0.7), and Apple's
Safari (.48). Humorous note of the week: MacCentral's coverage of this
event was titled, "Safari global usage nearly doubled."
Microsoft is working to
replace it with yet another C-like programming language. Dubbed Xen
(previously X#), the new language melds C# with XML and Microsoft SQL
Server support
Microsoft
Microsoft surpassed the $10 billion mark for the first time in its
history. And here's a sobering thought: Microsoft is now averaging
sales of $100 million a day, every day, and the company has almost $53
billion in cash or liquid assets--$1 billion more than when the
quarter began

Something to ponder :
Expertise can be surprisingly difficult to find, even in companies that have spent millions of dollars to attract and retain it. Traditional methods, such as document repositories and static directories, are inadequate because expertise, unlike other assets, depends on the context—making it difficult to describe and classify.

Some great insults :)

* He is an intellectual virgin, he has never had an idea in his life.
* You are living proof that stupid people should not breed.
* Doe's your head hurt when you are that stupid?
* You remind me of opium, a slow working dope.
* Did you study to be that expertly stupid or does it come naturally?
* How can I keep an idiot in suspense? I'll tell you later.
* He had a pimple on his ass which turned out to be a brain tumor
* The sealthing technology used to hide your brain from all attacks of reason is impressive. Are NASA designing advanced retards now?
* When you speak, you do so in a way that makes slugs and other invertebrates look like Nobel prize winners.
* Just when I think, "Surely, this person has obtained and encapsulates the limits of human stupidity", you go and push the boundary even further.
* if you were twice as smart as you are now, you'd be chronically stupid.

Grid computing
SETI@home project, which analyzes radio waves to search for
intelligent extraterrestrial life. SETI@home's global network of 3
million computers averaged about 14 trillion floating point operations
per second (FLOPS) and generated more than 500,000 years of processing
time in a year and a half
