听说 U2 的新专辑在 last.fm 上不小心泄露了，8,000 人试听了一把。但是有成熟的成年人表示：

I think the bigger problem we have is that people are still listening to U2!

不过确实，Bono 近几年的表现让人有点费解，到处宣传自己的政治观点、玩流行，变得让人生厌。我很少听 U2，也就以打酱油的，但是看到这个我还是 rofl 了。

Bono, whilst playing a gig in Glasgow, got the whole crowd to be silent and then began slowly clapping his hands. He got the crowd to clap along for a while, the stadium quiet except for the rhythmic clapping…

After a short period Bono spoke, saying that everytime he clapped his hands a child in Africa died…

Suddenly, from the front row of the venue a voice broke out in thick Scottish brogue, ending the silence as it echoed across the crowd, the voice cried out to Bono “Well stop ****ing doing it then!!”

Java 抛出的异常们被人揶揄了一把，摘抄我最喜欢的几条：

AWTException You are using AWT, which means your GUI will be ugly. This exception is only a warning and can be ignored. NoSuchElementException: There are only four elements (earth, water, air, fire). The Fifth Element is just a movie.

顺便，该网站主页非常有特色。

微软前总裁 Bill Gates 多年前与别人一块写的一个小游戏（DONKEY.BAS）最近被人挖出来八卦。本着“谁没有童年呢？”的宽大原则，我认为该游戏还是可以接受的。抄袭 Joe Spolsky 的话说，Bill 童鞋是个牛人：

Bill Gates was amazingly technical. He understood Variants, and COM objects, and IDispatch and why Automation is different than vtables and why this might lead to dual interfaces. He worried about date functions. He didn’t meddle in software if he trusted the people who were working on it, but you couldn’t bullshit him for a minute because he was a programmer. A real, actual, programmer.

今日八卦已毕。
