It depends on what the meaning of 'is' is...

...well in my case it really depends on what the meaning of 'urgent' is.I did not know that the meaning of a word could be debated, after all I thought that the OED (that's oxford english dictionary for anyone who doesn't know the lingo) was the definitive source for word definitions for the English Language. Let's see what it says, shall we?Urgent (adverb): Pressing, impelling; demanding or calling

Ζω κάτι σαν το Office Space

Εδώ και 8 μήνες είναι λες και δουλεύω στην Intek του Office Space. Να ένα δείγμα συνομιλίας με το αφεντικό: Φ: ήθελες να με δείς; Α: Ναι, το «Α» χάλασε και δεν έκανες τιποτα. (κατσάδα) Φ: Σωστό, γιατί έκανα το «Β», δεν είχα χρόνο για το

No HP printer drivers for MS Vista!

I installed Vista on my Dell GX280 (3.2Ghz Pentium 4, 512MB of RAM) two weeks ago at work.My version of Vista is of the enterprise variety (none of that home stuff). It felt remarkably speedy! I really expected it to crawl! It was running about the same speed as my Windows XP installation that I upgraded. All my pre-installed applications worked without major issues. I did notice that I had no printers

Βυσσινάδα!

'Άνοιξα το ψυγείο και έβγαλα το μπουκάλι τις κόκα κόλας Είναι συσκευασία δύο λίτρων και ήταν ανοιχτή για κάτι μέρες οπότε το ανθρακικό είχε ξεφύγει. ΤΙ γεύση έχει λοιπόν η κόκα κόλα χωρίς ανθρακικό; Γεύση Βυσσινάδα! Ξέρει

Ο φοβερός στο νοσοκομείο...

...με το νυστέρι στον πισινό! Το Σαββατοκύριακο ανακάλυψα κάτι περίεργο...κάτι που χρειάστηκε νοσοκομείο και νυστέρι...και γάζα, και οινόπνευμα...Δεν είναι τίποτε σοβαρότατο, αλλά τώρα δεν μπορώ να κάτσω άνετα στον πισινό μέχρι

A day at the hospital

It's been a while since I had to go to a hospital - I hate being cut - at least the doctor and the nurses had great bedside manner.

Losing steam?

My undergraduate career spanned from Fall of 1998 to Spring 2003 yielding me a BA in Computer Science, a minor in Italian and a quasi minor in German (I decided that I wanted to graduate already and decided to not do the course in German Literature that was my last requirement for a full German Minor) - so that was five years. After a small break of eight months I went back to school, this time grad

Θρησκεία (οεοεοεεεε οεεε οοοο εεεε!)

Χτές το βράδυ, όταν υποτήθετε πώς έκανα εργασίες, ήμουν στο sync και παρατήρησα το εξείς άρθρο από το Βαρόμετρο. Μπορώ να πώ πως μου κέντρισε την περιέργεια και το ενδιαφέρον. Δεν ήξερα πώς τα κρατικά κανάλια έπεζαν θρησκευτικές

Ungraded homework?

I've got a class where homework is really optional. You can do it an hand it in, if you want, but if you do not there is no consequence.The rationale is this: you learn the materials by dissecting the problems in the book, and doing them yourself. Therefore, doing them and handing them in gives you the ability to practice, and free feedback from me (the professor).I've done the first few homework 'assignments'

Η Οδοντόβουρτσα

Όταν ήμουν μικρός, και έμενα με τον παππού και την γιαγιά στο «χωρίο» πάντα είχα μια κόκκινη ονοντόβρουτσα. Ο λόγος ήταν απλός - ήμουν οπαδός του Ολυμπιακού, όχι για κάποιον ιδιαίτερο λόγο - ήταν κάτι που «έμαθα» από την οικογένεια
