"Winner Stays On"
Means that if you solve it first, you set it the next weekday.

Aha! Thank you. As a developer, I really should be better at TLAs!

...with thomeone around here.
Thunder. Lots of thunder. Wall to wall thunder.
Rain. Hail. Hailstones as big as golf balls.
And lightning. Lots and lots of lightning.
Enough lightning to send a DeLorean to the Restaurant at the end of the Universe.
What I want to know is what the devil is a Norse god doing down in a Greek speaking country anyway. Should be Poseidon or someone, and I always sacrifice a generous libation to him every sailing season. No trouble there.
Never mind, when the power goes off (it usually does) I'll take the day off.

It's our first proper rain of the year, but when it comes down this hard. it tends not to do much good for the dams.

I guess that, on the other hand, the damns are quite strong.

Perhaps one more source of aid to put out the fires.

Not a chance. He's been hanging around for the best part of ten thousand years. There can't possibly be anything/one left that he's fancied and not had.

Well, he may have been rejected and he's throwing a tantrum! He's certainly not known for its tame character 
BTW, if it is really Thor instead of Zeus caould you please send him up here? This morning is so cold that I suspect the Frost Giants are invading from Jotunheim.

Zeus wouldn't even think of going there, even at his randiest, Siri being the offspring of Hades - which would make it incest anyway. Mind you, thinking about it, that might not necessarily put Zeus off.

Nah - if they break on the way to Wales, what chance do I stand out here?
Actually, I always work from a laptop - actually more of a luggable with a 19" screen, 2 x 1Tb HS Hybrids, i7, 16GB RAM and two 24" screens - (= built in UPS), and I have a 2KVa genset ready to fire up. We get lots of power cuts around here!

Well the UK (well my part of Bristol at least) is sunny, very sunny. It looks like we will be in line for a down pour shortley.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Yeah, well, the thunderbolt is his weapon of choice, but they are very specifically targeted. This lot appeared extremely random. 'Course, he could have been saving up a bunch of folks who insisted their wives remained chaste, just so he could zap them all in one go. Poseidon now, he was much more of generalist, raising terrible storms all over the Med, just to get one ship. It would have suited his over-enthusiastic style much better.
Anyway, I still reckon it was Thor throwing a temper tantrum, just his style.

Over 75% of the respondents of this week poll are on the positive side of the coding-is-fun fence...
I would like to know how many of them actually code for living...

I can't understand why anyone would want to sit in front of a monitor for 8+ hours a day if they didn't enjoy it!
If you don't enjoy what you are doing, then how can you remain motivated to do a good job every day for years to come? And for me, I don't like to do a job any less perfect than I can. Doing half the job because I'm bored with it? That just means I'm going to be back to fix the mess I made at some point in teh future, when I'm even less motivated to do it properly...

From the flow of those half-educated 'developers' (QA) I conclude, that some do it for the money in the first place...
