Whats your favorite coffee to fight with sleep?

I never take coffee The best way to avoid this sleepy mood especially post lunch session is to get out from your seat and go for a small walk inside the office premise. If you are in upstairs, dont use lift instead use the steps

thanks

Everyone knows that real programmers dont' drink coffee, but rather drink either Jolt or Mountain Dew and for those of us watching our waistlines Diet Mountain Dew.

That being said those might not be available in every locale, so coffee is a good substitute.

Take care,

Are you REALLY going to start with the "real programmers" stuff, Stephen?

If so - I'll lay down the winner, no matter how many others are posted:

Real programmers don't document ... if it was hard to write, it SHOULD be hard to understand ...

David,

No that's a separate thread for real programmers and we all know the phrase is wrong, because the only real programmer is Chuck Norris.

Seriously real programmers would never code any third generation and above language(including ABAP) :).

Take care,

Weird how this thread turned into a discrepancy between voiced differences between neighboring cultures and actual similarities.

And into a variant on the my euhm, for want of a better word, Member is bigger than yours.

[former_member181923]

But Rob - it's all to the good.

It will help us understand and ameliorate tensions between WDA-er's and WDJ'ers ... heh heh heh

In general, what's familiar to us is what's important to us, and we resent it when we find out that what's important and familiar to us may actually be what's important and familiar to those we don't consider part of our "tribe".

Hey wait a second - now I'm startin to sound "evolved" like Marilyn would want me to be ...

I'd better continue my "unevolved" conversation with Stephen about macho "real programmers" ...

David,

Actually I'm the odd duck who refuses to drink regular coffee and will go to great lengths to seek out a carbonated beverage of choice. The mountain dew reference is from my college days where it or jolt was the beverage of choice for the guys and gals in my computer science classes.

Nothing macho about real programmers, it was always a reference to the progammers(gender neutral) who could do stuff the hard way, while those of us had to take the lazy way out with tools. I have always considered ABAP regardless of how many new features it gets an easy language compared to real languages such as C. Considering ABAP is basically child of C, COBOL, and C++, it's not a hard language especially when the kernel does all the hard work for you. Seriously I would shudder at how many production failures SAP would have if folks had to manage their internal tables like arrays are managed in C.

Then again let's strike it up to cultural differences (lol).

Take care,

Stephen

Hey Dave,

I wasn't judging it, just thought it weird 😛

It used to be useful to be xenophobic what with all the tribal wars going on and stuff.

So it has to be a remnant from that era.

Although it makes little sense nowadays.

Being obstinate though only increases your manipulativeness

Woohoo,

my first moderation.

Wasn''t sure if this was on the edge or just over it.

But it was worth to try it out.

Having said that, you should hear the kind of language used in our coffee corner here in Paris

[stephenjohannes]

Rob,

Don't take it personally, but in general what I removed met the litmus test of the first rule in the community guidelines as not being acceptable:

http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/blogs-communityguidelines

That being said there are plenty other places in real life or on the internet that language can be more expressive. However I think a little bit of subtlety in your point probably would have worked better.

Take care,

Stephen

Is it really sexually explicit???

I merely suggested that if David is still interested in showing counterproductive macho behavior such as comparing their respective reproductive organs, then by all means go ahead.

I would even make a case that it was anatomically explicit, not sexually

😛 😛 😛

And I even used the Latin word for said...member

But you can relax I don't take it personally, I thought this was a fun thread and I got some endorphines out of it.

Keep up the good work, Stephen.

You guys and gals are doing a tremendous job.

[former_member181923]

Rob -

counterproductive macho behavior ?

sputter

APOPLEXY!

I see you've been listening to Marilyn WAY too much, so I'm going to have to give you some "devolution" counseling to help make you less "evolved".

As your first "devolution exercise", read this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Third_Man

with particular emphasis on the section about "the cuckoo clock speech".

Best as always

ittle bittle Davykins,

You've got an indisputable point there.

And I acknowledge defeat.

Well done you, as Jimmy Carr might say.

Cheers, Rob.

I never had Luwak, nor Jamaican blue Mountain coffee for that matter.

But ever since I've been to Greece I acquired a taste for their Greek coffee.

Sometimes I add a pinch of cinnamon to my brew in my genuine briki and if I can't find greek coffee I just buy some good Turkish coffee.

[former_member181923]

Rob -

The only difference between "Greek" coffee and "Turkish" coffee is that Greeks insist on calling their Turkish coffee "Greek" coffee, because of bad memories of the Ottoman Empire. It's a "political correctness" thing.

Take this as "gospel truth" from someone who wasted his youth in Greek and Turkish nightclubs listening to bouzoukee and oud taxims (respectively, of course). Not to mention the kanouns ...

Regards

Hey David,

Yeah I know, once had some good conversations with both Greek and Turks. Who admitted that they had waaaay more in common than both parties would be normally comfortable enough to admit.

Cheers!

[former_member181923]

Yeah - it's like Urdu, Rob.

It's like English - syntax (grammar) from one language stock (Germanic/Anglo-Saxon) and vocabulary from another (Romance/Norman French, due to the "Norman Conquest" in 1066)

But try and get a Pakistani to admit that Urdu has the same grammar as all the Prakrits languages (like Hindi) descended from Sanskrit, and that the main difference between Hindi and Urdu is vocabulary ...

Or for that matter, try and get a Syrian and an Israeli to admit that their languages are probably closer than Dutch and Lithuanian, even though Dutch and Luthuanian are both "Indo-European" ...

Oh no - never try to convince a "patriot" that his enemy is actually his first cousin, linguistically speaking ...

Best
