The nocturnal cat has woken up! *streetch*
No, actually it's getting earlier... was sleeping at 8-9am for past several days... ;p
What is that?
Anyone knows how much I should charge for selling of editorial photos?
Photos are of a press conference... speakers, etc...

Depends on the size you giving also... mebbe in the range of 10's to 100's a piece?
You can check with them on the number they want also... if more, you can charge them slightly lower per piece... if less then charge higher...

If restaurants functioned like Microsoft....
Patron: Waiter!
Waiter: Hi, my name is Bill, and I'll be your Support Waiter. What seems to be the problem?
Patron: There's a fly in my soup!
Waiter: Try again, maybe the fly won't be there this time.
Patron: No, it's still there.
Waiter: Maybe it's the way you're using the soup; try eating it with a fork instead.
Patron: Even when I use the fork, the fly is still there.
Waiter: Maybe the soup is incompatible with the bowl; what kind of bowl are you using?
Patron: A SOUP bowl!
Waiter: Hmmm, that should work. Maybe it's a configuration problem; how was the bowl set up?
Patron: You brought it to me on a saucer; what has that to do with the fly in my soup?!
Waiter: Can you remember everything you did before you noticed the fly in your soup?
Patron: I sat down and ordered the Soup of the Day!
Waiter: Have you considered upgrading to the latest Soup of the Day?
Patron: You have more than one Soup of the Day each day??
Waiter: Yes, the Soup of the Day is changed every hour.
Patron: Well, what is the Soup of the Day now?
Waiter: The current Soup of the Day is tomato.
Patron: Fine. Bring me the tomato soup, and the check. I'm running late now.
Waiter leaves and returns with another bowl of soup and the check.
Waiter: Here you are, Sir. The soup and your check.
Patron: This is potato soup.
Waiter: Yes, the tomato soup wasn't ready yet.
Patron: Well, I'm so hungry now, I'll eat anything.
Waiter leaves.
Patron: Waiter! There's a gnat in my soup!
The check:
Soup of the Day ................................... $5.00
Upgrade to newer Soup of the Day ........... $2.50
Access to support ................................. $1.00

IF ARCHITECTS TO WORK LIKE SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS
Dear Architect:
Please design and build me a house. I am not quite sure of what I
need, so you should use your discretion.
My house should have between two and forty-five bedrooms. Just
make sure the plans are such that the bedrooms can be easily added or
deleted. When you bring the blueprints to me, I will make the final
decision of what I want. Also, bring me the cost breakdown for each
configuration so that I can arbitrarily pick one.
Keep in mind that the house I ultimately choose must cost less than
the one I am currently living in. Make sure, however, that you correct all
the deficiencies that exist in my current house (the floor of my kitchen
vibrates when I walk across it, and the walls don't have nearly enough
insulation in them).
As you design, also keep in mind that I want to keep yearly
maintenance costs as low as possible. This should mean the
incorporation of extra-cost features like aluminium, vinyl or composite
siding. (If you choose not to specify aluminium, be prepared to explain
your decision in detail.)
Please take care that modern design practices and the latest
materials are used in construction of the house, as I want it to be a
showplace for the most up-to-date ideas and methods. Be alerted,
however, that the kitchen should be designed to accommodate, among
other things, my 1952 Gibson refigerator.
To ensure that you are building the correct house for our entire
family, make certain that you contact each of our children, and also our
in- laws. My mother-in-law will have very strong feelings about how the
house should be designed, since she visits us at least once a year.
Make sure that you weigh all of these options carefully and come to the
right decision. I, however, retain the right to overrule any choices that
you make.
Please don't bother me with small details right now. Your job is to
develop the overall plans for the house: get the big picture. At this time,
for example, it is not appropriate to be choosing the colour of the carpet.
However, keep in mind that my wife likes blue.
Also, do not worry at this time about acquiring the resources to
build the house itself. Your first priority is to develop detailed plans and
specifications. Once I approve these plans, however, I would expect
the house to be under roof within 48 hours.
While you are designing this house specifically for me, keep in mind
that sooner or later I will have to sell it to someone else. It therefore
should have appeal to a wide variety of potential buyers. Please make
sure before you finalize the plans that there is a consensus of the
population in my area that they like the features this house has.
I advise you to run up and look at my neighbour's house that he
constructed last year. We like it a great deal. It has many features that
we would also like in our new home, particularly the 25 meter swimming
pool. With careful engineering, I believe that you can design this into our
new home without impacting the final cost.
Please prepare a complete set of blueprints. It is not necessary at
this time to do the real design, since they will be used only for
construction bids. Be advised, however, that you will be held
accountable for any increase of construction costs as a result of later
design changes.
You must be thrilled to be working on as interesting a project as this!
To be able to use the latest techniques and materials and to be given
such freedom in your designs is something that can't happen very often.
Contact me as soon as possible with your complete ideas and plans.
P.S.
My wife has just told me that she disagrees with many of the instructions
that I've given you in this letter. As architect, it is your responsibility to
resolve these differences. I have tried in the past and have been unable
to accomplish this. If you can't handle this responsibility, I will have to
find another architect.
P.P.S.
Perhaps what I need is not a house at all, but a travel trailer. Please
advise me as soon as possible if this is the case.

Everything I Need to Know, I Learned in Corporate America.
1. Indecision is the key to flexibility.
2. You can't tell which way the train went by looking at the track.
3. There is absolutely no substitute for a genuine lack of preparation.
4. Happiness is merely the remission of pain.
5. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
6. Sometimes too much to drink is not enough.
7. The facts, although interesting, are irrelevant.
8. The careful application of terror is also a form of communication.
9. Someone who thinks logically is a nice contrast to the real world.
10. Things are more like they are today than they ever were before.
11. Anything worth fighting for is worth fighting dirty for.
12. Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.
13. Friends may come and go, but enemies accumulate.
14. I have seen the truth and it makes no sense.
15. Suicide is the most sincere form of self-criticism.
16. If you think there is good in everybody, you haven't met everybody.
17. All things being equal, fat people use more soap.
18. If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.
19. One seventh of your life is spent on Monday.
20. Every time you make ends meet, they move the ends.
21. Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is serious.
22. The more you run over a dead cat, the flatter it gets.
23. There is always one more imbecile than you counted on.
24. This is as bad as it can get, but don't count on it.
25. Never wrestle a pig. You both get dirty and the pig likes it.
26. The trouble with life is, you're halfway through it before you
realize it's a do-it-yourself thing.

From New Scientist, 28 august 93, Feedback column:
"The National Westminster Bank admitted last month that it keeps
personal information about its customers-such as their political
affiliation-on computer. But now Computer Weekly reveals that a
financial institution, sadly unnamed, has gone one better and moved
into the realm of personal abuse.
The institution decided to mailshot 2000 of its richest customers,
inviting them to buy extra services. One of its computer programmers
wrote a program to search through its databases and select its
customers automatically. He tested the program with an imaginary
customer called Rich *******.
Unfortunately, an error resulted in all 2000 letters being addressed
"Dear Rich *******". The luckless programmer was subsequently sacked."

A woman had been married four times and was still a virgin.
Somebody asked her how that could be possible.
"Well," she said. "The first time I married an octogenarian
and he died before we could consummate the marriage."
"The second time I married a naval officer and war broke
out on our wedding day."
"The third time I married a MicroSoft Windows programmer and
he just sat on the edge of the bed and kept telling me how
good it was going to be."
"The fourth time, I married a computer technician. He'd sit
on the edge of the bed and tell me, "I'll have it up in 30
minutes."

Q&A: THE PENTIUM FDIV BUG
Q: How many Pentium designers does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: 1.99904274017, but that's close enough for non-technical people.
Q: What do you get when you cross a Pentium PC with a research grant?
A: A mad scientist.
Q: What's another name for the "Intel Inside" sticker they put on
Pentiums?
A1: Warning label.
A2: Truth in advertising.
Q: What do you call a series of FDIV instructions on a Pentium?
A: Successive approximations.
Q: Complete the following word analogy: Add is to Subtract as Multiply
is to
1) Divide
2) ROUND
3) RANDOM
4) On a Pentium, all of the above
A: Number 4.
Q: What algorithm did Intel use in the Pentium's floating point divider?
A: "Life is like a box of chocolates." (Source: F. Gump of Intel)
Q: Why didn't Intel call the Pentium the 586?
A: Because they added 486 and 100 on the first Pentium and got
585.999983605.
Q: According to Intel, the Pentium conforms to the IEEE standards
754 and 854 for floating point arithmetic. If you fly in aircraft
designed using a Pentium, what is the correct pronunciation of
"IEEE"?
A: Aaaaaaaiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeee!
