I was talking to Elisa today about vitamins. I asked her if she wanted the green ones. She responded that they ‘Did not interest her’. We then were having a disconcerting conversation about what she was trying to mean. In the end, it turned out that she wanted the semi-clear Vitamin E capsules. So instead of trying to figure the what and why she didnt like the green ones, I should have asked ‘What did interest her?’ This is looking at the broader picture, thinking outside the box, and being more positive. Must add this on my todo list.

A java compiler must follow the existing Java Compiler Model:
1. Write once, read most places
2. Modular compilation
3. Compilation of child classes cannot affect parents
4. Compilation of parent classes may break child classes
5. Two steps: compilation & execution

I found this in these in the comments section of a Slashdot poll:
Q: Enough Poll Options?
Option1: Yes.
“You fight like a dairy farmer!” “How appropriate. You fight like a cow”
“I once owned a dog that was smarter than you.” “He must have taught you everything you know.”
Q: Have you stopped beating your wife?
A: Which one??
“Every enemy I’ve met I’ve annihilated!”
“With your breath, I’m sure they all suffocated.”
“I am rubber, you are glue”
“You fight like a dairy farmer!” “How appropriate. You fight like a cow”
“Have you stopped wearing diapers yet?” “Why, did you want to borrow one?”
“I once owned a dog that was smarter than you.” “He must have taught you everything you know.”
“I’ve spoken with apes more polite than you.” “I’m glad to hear you attended your family reunion.”
“My handkerchief will wipe up your blood!” “So you got that job as a janitor, after all.”
“Nobody’s ever drawn blood from me and nobody ever will!” “You run that fast?”
“People fall at my feet when they see me coming.” “Even before they smell your breath?”
“Soon you’ll be wearing my sword like a shish kebab!” “First you’d better stop waving it like a feather-duster.”
“You make me want to puke.” “You make me think somebody already did.”

I was doing a bit of house cleaning, and i stumbled upon some notes i took from a health magazine: nonoxynol-9 (spermicide) can cause vaginal tears and thus increase a woman’s risk of contracting STDs (ie HIV, etc).
This article states:” frequent use of nonoxynol-9 can result in genital irritation and ulceration and may consequently lead to higher rates of HIV-1 infection.”
