A bus stops and two Italian men get on. They sit down and engage in an animated conversation. The lady sitting behind them ignores them at first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears one of the men say the following

“Emma come first. Den I come. Den two asses come together. I come once-a-more. Two asses, they come together again. I come again and pee twice. Then I come one lasta time.”
“You foul-mouthed sex obsessed swine”, retorted the lady indignantly. “In this country….we don’t speak aloud in public places about our sex lives………”

“Hey, coola down lady,” said the man. “Who talkin’ abouta sexa? I’m a justa tellin’ my frienda how to spell ‘Mississippi’.”

i bet you will read this again. Hehehe

There is a nice competition developing among the people in IM Markets. Heard that Yahoo operates 2nd. Even Google is eyeing in introducing a brand new IM service. Ok. Now YMv6 is born (caesarean), to pace up the race. To me it looks more like MSNmessenger. The New Features are like this

LAUNCHcast Radio: Listen to LAUNCHcast Radio and show your friends what you’re listening to.
Yahoo! Games: Challenge your friends to Chess, Checkers, Word Racer, Dominoes and more.
Yahoo! Avatars: Create your Yahoo! Avatar share your personality, style, and mood with others.
Audibles: Express yourself with talking characters full of attitude.
Address Book: Synchronize IM, phone numbers, and email addresses with integrated Yahoo! Address Book.
Stealth Settings: Make yourself appear online to some and offline to others on your Messenger list.
New Emoticons: Discover 13 New Emoticons and all of your old favorites brought to life.

What do u think the most attractive feature would be? How do they create those nice looking UIs? Need to find it. YahooooOOOO! >:{

A few basic instructions appear in just about every language:
1. Input: Get data from the keyboard, a file, or some other device.
2. Output: Display data on the screen or send data to a file or other device.
3. Math: Perform basic mathematical operations like addition and multiplication.
4. Conditional Execution: Check for certain conditions and execute the appropriate sequence of statements.
5. Repetition: Perform some action repeatedly, usually with some variation.
Believe it or not, that’s pretty much all there is to it. Every program you’ve ever used, no matter how complicated, is made up of instructions that look more or less like these. Thus, we can describe programming as the process of breaking a large, complex task into smaller and smaller subtasks until the subtasks are simple enough to be performed with one of these basic instructions.

Time is too slow for those who wait,
too swift for those who fear,
too long for those who grieve,
too short for those who rejoice,
but for those who love,
time is eternity.
