Does make one wonder where in the upcoming generations' plethora of asses we're going to find asstroubadors and asstronauts like these.
Would it be a better world if there were no Google hits for both underlined words ?

Well we already have asstroubledoors, particularly in the USA. And assthinknauts, particularly in QA.
But I don't think I want to pay to see asstroubadors do their thing... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Well, lookee-lookee free: [^].
It's actually a very interesting, scholarly, site.

Ah heck we are going to run out of cool people if it runs at this rate! I mean Justin Beaver and Tim Peake (not to get at the guy), I mean it's cool but he is in orbit it's not ground breaking we as a species did that around 50 years ago. I mean should there be bases on the moon and mars exploration going on. The film the Martian wins an award for being a Comedy or Musical come on that says something doesn't it

What would a moonbase do all day? Who'd want to live on a lump of lifeless rock? The Internet speeds would be atrocious for starters! A 3 day trip to get to Disneyland with the kids in the holidays? Can't see it catching on meself.
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Oh I agree, but why did 'we' only send 12 people and declare been there done that! I mean if we can support an artic or antartic research base why can't we justify another planet or moon.

That's what makes these astronaut guys so special. They are willing to do what no one else is willing to do.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Kimbra: live, outdoors, "Two Way Street" ... that's what I call a "voice" ! [^]
"Sicomore" Livio Gianola, Italian flamenco virtuoso, and composer, playing a mesmerizing "Tarantas" on eight-string guitar. [^] ... music to remember lost love by, and cry, and music to dream of future love by, and sigh ...
Not quite a song, but ... I think this short video clip might give you an insight into how newcomers in QA feel (hint: identify with the young Caucasian woman).
Context: my brother and I have a contest going on to see who can find the most obscure and ridiculous b-movies.
Here's a 2 minute 23 second cut (imho, SFWC) from one of the German b-movie films in the series "Liane, Jungle Goddess: [^]
No nudity in this. The actress was 16 years old when the first movie was made, and there was some (topless) nudity in the other episodes, I read. You can find the whole series on YouTube if you want to be bored crapless.

In this particular case I'd rather label it "creative solution" or "life finds a way".

Okay, it is creative, I will give it that what is the download speed, like sneaker net or worse!

And who would they pay to?

Hahahaha -- not *nix!
See, this is the way government should work. It should impose ridiculous rules and regulations, and then ignore the entrepreneurs that create businesses around working around the regulations. 
Of course, then we'd probably all be drinking the water from Flint, MI.

Sometimes I wonder if we shouldn't remove all warning labels and let the gene pool sort itself out.

There are worse things out there.
Eben Byers[^] for example.
The Wall Street Journal ran a headline reading "The Radium Water Worked Fine until His Jaw Came Off". I don't recommend an image search.

Hi Jorgen,
You might want to post these freebie links on the "free tools" forum here ? [^]
In the past I posted a link to an excellent free (Russian, Bulgarian, English) book on C# by a Bulgarian user group [^] ... on Free Tools ... and some people questioned that, but the link is still there, and the post was up-voted eleven times 
cheers, Bill
