Until recently, Ireland would have probably been the best. Now, it is heavily struck by the economical crisis (as there are a lot of american companies), so it's not as good.Quote:

I heard that Germany have enough vocations for programmers and even some special immigrants programs for them?
What about USA, Canada, Australia?
Of course , with a current bad situation on IT industry, may be this is more hardly than some years ago.
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!!
I see I missed some discussion about countries...
I'll check that.

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 :pQuote:

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.
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:Quote:
Hmm, I didn't think so
Why Belgium and Greece.
I thought that may be Germany...
Indeed I am not black or ....

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

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.
You are the living proof for this! :DQuote:

Hurray Singapore is finally 5!
I have met at least 20+ Singaporeans here, none of them comes here to vote.:(

Hey Sonu ! Be happy, Indian's are second in codeguru population.
:D :D
to CBasicNet :
Who says only 20 Singaporeans here , Xeon alone is equal to 420 (*-1). :D
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:Quote:

"Itanium" doesn't have the same fluidity (for lack of a better word) as "Xeon". You wouldn't want that... but can you imagine ten years from now people will be saying "The Xeon processor? What are you running a computer from the stone age???"Quote:

The Pentium processors were even earlier than the Xeon was, and the name is still being used. :):)
Yes, Xeon is more fluent and cooler than Itanium. Itanium sounds more like a metal-based tool or some darn chemical used to produce solid girls. :D

Oh wait...,err.. maybe '_' stands for "multi-character wildcard, fill in the blank thing" for the rest of us? Which means we ourselves may fill in as we like.
For instance, "Xeon - _ member" --> "Xeon - The Chicken Chop Lover member".:D :D :p

My, it is cold outside.....
-18C (-1F) at 10AM in Troy, MI, USA
Enough already, lets have spring......
By the way, Tom....is Spring the best of the 4 seasons? Winter can be cold and ruthless, summer is really hot.
I guess the best 2 seasons are Spring and Autumn. The leaves in Autumn are really cool, for some reason. Red-orange/yellow with alpha-blended transparencies! :):):D
Yeh, U are right!Quote:

But I didn't know that in Singapure there are diff-colours leaves in Autumn, I though they are always green :confused: Because after leaves-fallen in Autumn all leaves-trees has not any leaves during winter here in the central climit zone.
Nop! :) The best season is summer: swim, sea, beach, hot :D :) :DQuote:

No, for me not the seasons but a couple of weeks. I think the best ones are those that are going to end the Spring and to begin the Summer: cool. I can go swiming, walk through the park near where I am staying with my little DOGS :D.Quote:

Nice picture Irona. Is that you? ;)
I'd say that the best season depends also where you are from.
In Ireland the best season will probably be summer as the temperature is never high, never too hot. That's when it's the more confortable. Is some southern countries, the winter might as well be the best season as it's the only one when it will not be too hot.
But some people will prefer the extremes. In winter when it's cold, there is snow so you can ski. Swimming in the sea when it's awfully hot outside can be quite good as well.
Sure! :) Am I pretty, eh? :) :DQuote:

Yes, you are right, they are always green. Singapore is situated near the equator line, so there is no 4 seasons here.Quote:
