The Discussion

littleguru Woohooohoooo Jeff on "This Week" - awesome. -
Clint I couldn't get up, you guys super glued me to the seat!
-
Dan It's sad the tactics we have to resort to to keep a guest on our show
-
Zeo Jeff sweeps the floors.... Funny!
Charles has chicken pox oh noes!
Feel better Charles!
Awesome story charles about the beach chairs and the story about the channel9 story on Bill's transition announcement.
I love Jeff's exit.
Dan were you trying to put your arm around Brian....super awkward and super funny moment.
Dan you're line about Willy going to electronic jail was hilarious...Brian I don't think the license agreement should apply to Willy....he's just to cool for that. -
Minh What's the big deal on Bill's leaving. He'll probably still gonna spend at least 40 hrs / week at MS. And it's not like they're going to move Bill to a cube next to hallway.
-
jeffsand They actually did, he's moving to another side of the building where Steve is current located. Steve is moving to where Bill now is. -
Dan Dan were you trying to put your arm around Brian....super awkward and super funny moment.
Yeah, I was doing that classic move yuou learn at like 12 to fake a yawn so that you can put your arm around a girl at a movie. Awwwkwaaard

Charles -
K0ogle good show guys... some pretty funny bits in it. And BillG asking about Movie Maker?
heh
well at least I think Bill is right in his support C9 and other community site stuff.. it does give Microsoft a softer side, and perhaps Bills stepping back from being at Microsoft fulltime will be better overal.
Dan you haven't done any geek character voices in a while good to hear some more
lol at the futurama characters as languages it really does make sense and fit, when you think about it and know the characters. .. c# as Zapp Brannigan and Javascript and PHP as Bender and Fry ... awesome
sigh and joy to hear about the Piclens copy codeproject.. those guys at Piclens just didn't seem to know what they had. Really hoped they would have taken that so much further, certainly got feedback
... but seeing it at codeproject hopefully someone else
can pick it up and really do something with the idea now.

Bas Team Jolie for life, dudes. Aniston, please! -
joycsharp nice show! -
Dan Agree Bas, I don't know how someone can prefer Jennifer Aniston over Angelina Jolie. IMNSHO, she's got more geek cred since she was in Hackers (the movie) and played Lara Croft in Tomb Raider. She's also done a lot of humanitarian work as the UN Ambassador and her numerous charities.
Oh and Angelins wasa also named the sexiest person ever... if looks matter to you
-
K0ogle Jolie named Sexiest person eveeer.?!?!? lol thats it.. first thing I'm no Aniston fan.. so what on earth is so great about jolie?..she goes around the world picking up children from different countries?.. what about charity in her own country?!? she isn't that good looking ...more like average or average with distanct facial features
... i mean if I had sum up Jolie she is pretty average with a pretty dull personality from what i've seen.. and she looked nothing like Lara croft 
how on earth she got casted
for that...and ever since the flop tomb raider movies I think she gets casted for way too many movies and voice overs.. can't dummywood find any other actresses to give a chance in her type of roles? I won't be bothering to see Wanted.. she gets to play the
solo superwomen type characters way too often.. I think its gone to her head abit.
oh btw if you haven't watched 'headcases'.. its politcal satire comedy sketch show in 3d, based on an old spitting image show.. not as good and a bit cheap 3d looking.. but anyway jolie and pitt do make some regular appearances in the sketches and I think it sums up jolie's character nicely :o
-
Dan So K0oogle, you think Aniston is better? If you had to choose between them, which would you pick? Jolie has more talent and she has done work for the US too (New Orleans after the floods), and I think she's much more attractive than Aniston.
As for that poll Jolie won, it was an internet poll so it *must* be true -
K0ogle I did say I was no Aniston fan...
but if I had to choose between them.. which really depends what I would choosing for
lets say it was on looks only...

yup Aniston
-
Dan LOL, I don't know, looking at those pics, I'd still go with Jolie, but maybe that's just my personal taste
-
K0ogle look at half those pics of Jolie again Dan, .. if you ever had a relationship with Jolie she would eat you alive!! she's like a man eater! lol ... I don't think most guys having a relationship with Jolie would survive tbh...I'm not saying guys don't
like that in a women or think they do I guess Brad Pitt fell for her and her very active lifestyle (but he ain't ever getting out of that relationship so easy) .. And i'm sure Jolie makes all the decisions ... a women you play by her rules and don't mess
with.. a tough cookie.. unlike Aniston who is just nice
-
briankel K0ogle, THANK YOU for being the voice of reason here.
In addition to being prettier than Jolie she also inspired a revolution of hairstyles. So she commands the respect of both men and women. Nothing against Jolie but I just can't say the same about her. -
K0ogle lol Brian ..tbh I was struggling to think of something about Aniston other than looking pretty, that could compare with Jolie's humanitarian efforts and film career.. but seeing as you mentioned it... has Jolie ever inspired a revolution of hairstyles for women .. nope, she hasn't lol
-
Bas The only thing Aniston has going for her is the fact that she's in Office Space. But that's a no-brainer, everyone who is in Office Space automatically cannot fail. It takes real Talent to be the only cool character in an awful film. Like Beowulf. -
starny No, he should step out of Microsoft quite often because his wife is very young. -
starny I think men quick to stand at her side more than women. -
starny Maybe the title of his story is " Jealousy" -
Suzain I want to share my success with all of the visitors of this site. Getting my te0-121 cert has never been easier. I tried it on my own, and in a class through New Horizons. Using just books was too hard, and the class was too expensive. But the sites related to the exams such as test king with its dumps make it easier for me. Now I have passed my 1y0-a18 as well as the 1z0-526 and preparing my self for the 1z0-533. Success is not far from me.
