En 2005-2006, la Ville de La Chaux-de-Fonds (Suisse) organisera
durant quatre saisons une multitude d'évènements en prenant comme fil
rouge l'Art nouveau (Jugendstil).
Elle célébrera en
même temps la création, en octobre 1905, d'un Cours supérieur d'art et
de décoration dû à Charles L'Eplattenier au sein de l'Ecole d'art, dont
Charles-Edouard Jeanneret (futur Le Corbusier) était élève.
En 1900, l'Art nouveau avait conquis les esprits de l'époque, la Belle
Epoque. Il en devenait l'expression d'un goût spécifique.
Le
phénomène, bien que réservé dans ses plus belles expressions aux
bourses bien garnies, n'en lança pas moins une mode internationale. La
ligne en "coup de fouet" en fut certainement l'expression la plus
populaire.
C'est sous cette forme que l'Art nouveau fut importé à La
Chaux-de-Fonds à la fin XIXe siècle sous l'influence des patrons
horlogers et de leurs représentants de commerce. L'Art nouveau, art à
la mode dans toutes les capitales d'Europe, devait trouver une place de
choix dans la métropole horlogère ! Vitraux, carrelages, ornementations
de cages d'escalier, stucs, menuiseries et ferronneries envahirent
ainsi les nouvelles constructions.

sounds like what I need to do to turn the Mocha Console into a "Mocha Shell".

Wonderfully refreshing speech by the "Founder of the William Jefferson Clinton Foundation"
pointing out that many countries have some kind of "Number One Nightmare" deeply embedded in their identity, effecting their sensitivity to certain policies or changes and the way these reactions are perceived by the rest of the global community that does not share that nightmare.

"Maybe it's time to turn "Verizon" into a verb. As in:
I can't get to this website, either it's down or the firewall admin's verizoned it.
Damn it, this music download shop is totally verizoned, I can't even burn these files to a CD!
If you're planning to get to West Palm Beach today you might want to take the turnpike, I hear they've verizoned half of I-95 due to construction."

FreeBSD funnies such as "How many FreeBSD hackers does it take to change a lightbulb?" and "Where does data written to /dev/null go?":
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/funnies.html
...and then there recently was this new candidate:
Subject: Re: My freebsd dream
From: chris.trismegistus@gmail.com
To: freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org
I have a dream that one day this [OS] will rise up and live out the
true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident:
that all [code is] created equal." I have a dream that one day on the
red[mond] hills of [Washington] the [derived works] of former
[research projects] and the [derived works] of former [corporations]
will be able to [link] together [in] a table of [compatibility]. I
have a dream that one day even the [company of Microsoft], a desert
[company], sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will
be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream
that my four [computers] will one day [run] in a nation where they
will not be judged by the color of their [GUI] but by the content of
their [code base]. I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day the state of [IP], whose [lawyer's] lips
are presently dripping with the words of interposition and
nullification, will be transformed into a situation where little
[freebsd boxes] and [linux boxes] will be able to [share code] with
little [windows boxes] and [solaris boxes] and [run] together as
[clients] and [servers]. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one
day every [interface] shall be [defined], every [bug] and [error]
shall be [documented], the [compiler warnings] will be made
[understandable], and the [stack pages] will be made [no-exec], and
the glory of the [Code] shall be revealed, and all [users] shall see
it together. This is our hope. This is the faith with which I return
to the [buildworld]. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the
mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able
to transform the jangling discords of [operating systems] into a
beautiful [cluster] of [beowulf]. With this faith we will be able to
work together, to [code] together, to [debug] together, to [core dump]
together, to stand up for [standards] together, knowing that we will
be [compatible] one day.
