Guess what I saw today???

XEON!!!

Ok, our admin just received a big box with written "some brand inside", and underneath Xeon!!
I wonder if I should tell then never to switch such a machine on!!

Darn you, Marina! :p:D
$##@$^(+_(!@~@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But seriously, you and your company need Intel(r) Pentium(tm) 4 Xeon to boost you(and your company's) potential profits and such.
This is what real men call "Maximizing returns".

Now, now, now. Slow and easy. :cool:

When honey girls like you is fitted with the Xeon processor, you're able to think faster, speedier. In terms of looks and figure, you'll become leaner and sexier, hotter and more attractive, to the extent that all men will become paralysed when they see your face alone! :eek:
(however, when men are fitted with the Xeon processor, there'll be negative results)

When a company as a whole purchase and fit their PCs and servers with the Xeon processor, they get more done in less time. This way, everyone in the company, from the cleaner to the CEO, will be able to spend more time with their friends, family and hobbies.

There's this report in P-See magazine that says that the Xeon processor helps everyone(except males) to boost their total output.

So, u know what to do now, Marina?! :D:D

Ask the general manager to throw all Xeon's in the garbage bin as it does not improve the performance of males - rather on the contrary - as males are the largest percentage of employees in programming companies? :D :p :p

It has had several infarcts, and is in need of stents and a pacemaker. Belgium is according to some the ugliest country in Europe and the second most racist after Greece.

Hmm, I didn't think so
Why Belgium and Greece.
I thought that may be Germany...
Indeed I am not black or ....
Nevertheless, What country is the best place for immigrants in the Europe? Have U such info?

dimm_coder, I think he is saying he is racist even to citizens from other European countries as well. That includes all of us here, except cakkie.:eek:

We have to ask a Greek to confirm this. Any Greek here?:D

Don't listen to him, Marina! :):o:D

The truth is : although Xeon processors do not improve the performance of males in companies, they'll significantly boost the total productivy and personalities and charmingness of female berserkly!

And when the girls get active and energetic and such, this will make the males notice and in the end, the males get more hyper as well cos' of the females and in the end, the company ends up with a totally optimized workforce to the maximum.

Need I say more??!!(tm) :D:D:D

We currently have a Greek here at the university. At least until I deport him back to the rock he came crawling under from. :D:D:D No, just kidding. We have many nationalities here at the university, and most racism in Belgium is targeted at either muslims (or people who look like the major muslim groups) or black people. Though John Githaiga - our Kenyan - said he didn't experience that much troubles with racism yet.

Funny story: the head of our department went with John to Turkey by plane and was afraid they would check his papers on the flight back and make problems thinking he might be an illegal immigrant. In fact, the head of the department was the only one who had to show his papers, they asked John where he was from and when he said Kenya, he could just pass, apparently because Kenya extradited Ocalan to Turkey. However, from a security point of view I don't like this story. On the same day at the airport, there was apparently a highjacking going on and a while later there were attacks against airplanes in Kenya.

This racism against Muslims only happens until recently or it have always been there?

Always been there, but it is getting worse and the media coverage of it continues, maybe it is getting worse because of the media coverage. By the way, codeguru is getting slow again. :mad:

No wonder Intel needs to spend so much money on R & D on Itanium to replace Xeon.:D

Yes, true, true. But sadly, the Itanium project didn't take off very well. Intel's CEO says that Xeon is still the best. :D:D:D:D:D:D
