Thought for the Day

[zombie67]

Yes, evil comes in many forms, whether it be a man-eating cow or Joseph Stalin, but you can't let the package hide the pudding! Evil is just plain bad! You don't cotton to it. You gotta smack it in the nose with the rolled-up newspaper of goodness! Bad dog! Bad dog! -- The Tick

[Duke of Buckingham]

(The D)Evil Dog ... Newspaper. I used to read it.



Nice and right words Z.

[Duke of Buckingham]

One of the first things I learned about messages on BOINC foruns is that most of the people don't REALLY read them. The use of images, improve the message and make people have a better attention of what is written.

One need to be very interested on computers to real follow the messages, that have so many ways of writing, because we are of so many countries and some message needed a decoder to be understood.

The IMAGE, well the image is there, makes much better understanding and avoid confusion between similar words. For a guy that is slightly dyslexic like me, the use of images and the check spelling is a real wonder. When I make confusion both help me get on tracks and if I just can and start getting very nervous. Just delete all and restart later.

[Duke of Buckingham]

I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have.
I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.

Abraham Lincoln

[Duke of Buckingham]

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.

The only way a reporter should look at a politician is down. - H. L. Mencken

[Duke of Buckingham]

Not every reporter, I know a lot of them that would kill their own mothers to have some news for the day. And not every politician, in spite I have nothing nice to say about them but I am sure some must be nice persons.

Geeez being political correct is making me feel very bad. Forget Z, maybe I am very wrong and we should kill them all.

The politicians and some of the reporters, let us try to keep the sound engineers alive for some time.

Time to sleep. Today I am very tired and I need to rest a bit, see you all tomorrow.

Another great day, I am sure.

Duke

Forget Z, maybe I am very wrong and we should kill them all.

Naw. I don't think that is the point of the quote. The role of the 4th Estate is to keep the politicians honest, to be skeptical, to expose the truth. When the press starts looking up to public servants, they have lost perspective, lost objectivity, and failed at their obligation to the people.

About YESTERDAY.

An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools.

About every day.

Life is like a mirror, we get the best results when we smile at it.
