One day while walking down the street a highly successful Human Resources Manager was tragically hit by a bus and she died. Her soul arrived up in heaven where she was met at the Pearly Gates by St.Peter himself.

"Welcome to Heaven," said St. Peter. "Before you get settled in though, it seems we have a problem. You see, strangely enough, we've never once had a Human Resources Manager make it this far and we're not really sure what to do with you."

"No problem, just let me in," said the woman.

"Well, I'd like to, but I have higher orders. What we're going to do is let you have a day in Hell and a day in Heaven and then you can choose whichever one you want to spend! an eternity in."

"Actually, I think I've made up my mind, I prefer to stay in Heaven", said the woman "Sorry, we have rules..." And with that St. Peter put the executive in an elevator and it went down-down-down to hell.

The doors opened and she found herself stepping out onto the putting green of a beautiful golf course. In the distance was a country club and standing in front of her were all her friends - fellow executives that she had worked with and they were well dressed in evening gowns and cheering for her.

They ran up and kissed her on both cheeks and they talked about old times. They played an excellent round of golf and at night went to the country club where she enjoyed ! an excellent steak and lobster dinner. She met the Devil who was actually a really nice guy (kind of cute) and she had a great time telling jokes and dancing. She was having such a good time that before she knew it, it was time to leave. Everybody shook her hand and waved goodbye as she got on the elevator.

The elevator went up-up-up and opened back up at the Pearly Gates and found St.Peter waiting for her. "Now it's time to spend a day in heaven," he said.

So she spent the next 24hours lounging around on clouds and playing the harp and singing. She had great time and before she knew it her 24 hours were up and St. Peter came and got her.

"So, you've spent a day in hell and you've spent a day in heaven. Now you must choose your eternity," The woman paused for a second and then replied, "Well, I never thought I'd say this, I mean, Heaven has been really great and all, but I think I had a better time in Hell."

So St. Peter escorted her to the elevator and again she went down-down-down back to Hell. When the doors of the elevator opened she found herself standing in a desolate wasteland covered in garbage and filth. She saw her friends were dressed in rags ! and were picking up the garbage and putting it in sacks. The Devil came up to her and put his arm around her.

"I don't understand," stammered the woman, "yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and a country club and we ate lobster and we danced and had a great time. Now all there is a wasteland of garbage and all my friends look miserable."

The Devil looked at her smiled and told...

" Yesterday we were recruiting you, today you're an Employee. .."

well, i've a few questions, we already can access .net framework libraries source code by reflecting them, so will Microsoft release the .net framework CLR source code too? (i mean the native binary unmanaged part of the framework where the juicy stuff is) also under which license the source code will be released? GPL or something similar? will this license allow developers to modify and redistribute the .net framework?

Today i had a vacation, so i was setting around bored. i grabbed an old news paper that was on the seat next to me, turned the pages till i reached the telecommunications section. i found a really big article talking about something called "smart dust", the article was saying that there is a really tiny devices that can spy on our moves and locations and what we say and do, and these devices can be spread like dust on cities. first thing i though of that this guy must be kidding and the second thing i thought that he made this up, but i wondered how did he get such creativity to think about such stuff, there must be a source for this story (i'm always used to find the most old copied technical news in this section). so i fired google and typed smart dust and guess what i've found, the thing is real and have been there from a really long time. it's even open source, it have it's open source operating system and it even have it's own IDE plugin. and guess what? they can communicate together in mesh networks so they can analyze the gathered data!!

ok, most of you know that C# is named after the C# musical semi-tone (or half tone as i prefer to call it) which is a step higher than the C tone on piano or any other musical instrument, but i'm sure that most of you don't know the full history of it
