COBOL

From HYPERNEWS COMPUTER LANGUAGE LIST v1.4

Dijkstra observed, "the use of COBOL cripples the
mind; it's teaching therefore should be regarded as a criminal offense". No self-respecting
hacker would ever admit to knowing this language.

:D .. Hilarious

Themes

Gnome Project announced ClearLooks as the default theme for Gnome2.12.I really loved the old theme, especially the windowmanager. The new theme also looks promising. Its interesting to note that even though i like programming for KDE/Qt, i love Gnome much better. One of the main reasons i guess is due to antialiasing. I dont know why KDE folks are not doing it .. they should be able to.
here is the old simple theme
and here is the new ClearLooks theme

Update:
Webdog is closed. Its kindof sad to see it. After John Carmack stopped his .plans, Justin Frankel (of winamp fame) did also similar thing i guess.
