huh? corp: We do stuff.

"Sometimes, at the meetings, we'll roll up our sleeves like they did in that Century21 commercial, to make it look like we're professional, but still hard-working, and when someone has an idea, the rest of us look at him or her with serious expressions and write stuff down on paper. Unless it's hot and we're wearing short-sleeve shirts. Then there's really nothing to roll up."

Open Source Reality Check

Open Source Reality Check : "Want to be a hit at the next Linux-related conference? It's easy. Any time anything goes wrong, blame Microsoft. Everyone within earshot will be in hysterics -- every single time. For instance, if you see someone's computer crash, shout, 'Hey, is that a Windows machine?' If someone trips while walking, say, 'Are those sneakers running on NT?'" Jay Greenspan calls for the open source community to stop dismissing Microsoft and focus on what it can learn from them -- specifically, open source must deliver better developer tools to compete with VisualStudio and the pull to Windows.

On the flip side, if you only have newspaper and dry twigs, you'll be off to a quick start, but your fire won't last long. There aren't many fuels that start easily and burn hot and long. So starting with kindling and then transferring the heat to something bigger is key. Also, lighter fluid helps—but only for a short while and only if applied at the right time. Be careful.
