Random Bytes...by Ross RaderRoss Wm. Rader's current home page. Odds and sods of current interest without much thought given to rhyme or reason. Hey, it keeps me out of trouble, hopefully it keeps you interested ;)Overheard at dinner...- June 30, 2008 Two quips from a dinner party I attended in Paris last night... From an Austrian... "If you have wine with dinner, it is a party. If you add a toast, then you have culture." From an African... "In Africa, when many people want to speak and time is limited, we make each speaker stand on one leg while he is talking. If his other leg touches the ground, his time is up.

Not only does it eliminate a key point of failure, but its a great way to promote your brand instead of someone elses.http://www.byte.org/blog/_archives/2008/6/27/3765245.html |
