Great News!

[Alec]

Congratulations, Gurm, and to your wife, too!

[Gurm]

Ah, see you're running under the (incorrect) assumption that Julie doesn't stick her head over my shoulder from time to time to read this forum.

She finds y'all endlessly amusing, I might add.

But, see - more important than the pain and agony of pregnancy, she gets A BABY, which for Julie is pretty darn important.

Plus, it's not like I didn't have anything to do with it. Heh.

- Gurm

P.S. By the by - you all heard about this before anyone except our parents and the intended godparents! Just so ye can feel special.

Listen up, you primitive screwheads! See this? This is my BOOMSTICK! Etc. etc.

Congrats Gurm! Don't let the kid start reading this stuff too early though, don't want any needless corruption....

By the way, judging by your description, I think I will add a picture to help clear things up for Ayoub. It goes something like this....

Nah, I don't expect that it will be able to read for a little while after it's born. Judging by myself and Julie though, I think we can expect talking within a few months and reading by age 1.5, maybe 2 at the outside.

Nice going, Gurm! Congrats to the parents!

The three rings of marriage will now be complete:

The Engagement Ring, The Wedding Ring and
The Suffering...(LOL)

[paulcs]

Very nice, SCompRacer. What a peach.

Congratulations Gurm!

Congratulations Gurm!

You realize if it's a boy you haft to name him Bill Gates? It's part of the Microsoft End User License Agreement.

Jammrock,

Don't assume - it makes (as my wife's boss says) an ass out of everyone.

I have never actually owned a Microsoft product, therefore I've never actually read or been bound to a Microsoft EULA.

(Hehe!)

God, she's only been pregnant for what, 6 weeks (?) and Jason has already got nothing better to do than be online here all day

Julie, when you peek over his shoulder again, make him do something. Paint the kiddie-room for instance

Jord.

Gurm,

You mean to tell me that for the past who-knows-how-many months you've been defending M$ and you have never even purchased a single M$ product? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA...I find that humorous.

A-HEM...and I quote:

*********************************************
END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT
*********************************************
...

IMPORTANT-READ CAREFULLY: This End-User License Agreement ("EULA") is a legal agreement between you (either an individual or a single entity) and Microsoft Corporation for the Microsoft software product identified above, which includes computer software and may include associated media,printed materials, and "online" or electronic documentation ("Product"). An amendment or addendum to this EULA may accompany the Product. YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS EULA BY INSTALLING, COPYING, OR OTHERWISE USING THE PRODUCT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THE PRODUCT; YOU MAY RETURN IT TO YOUR PLACE OF PURCHASE FOR A FULL REFUND.

...

GRANT OF LICENSE. Microsoft grants you the following rights provided that you comply with all terms and conditions of this EULA:

...

20. By installing this PRODUCT you agree to name your first born male child, Bill Gates.

...

et cetera, et cetera...

So by mearly installing or using an M$ application/OS you must agree to the EULA; therefore, you must, by law, name your first born male child Bill Gates. If you don't, you'll haft to stop using M$ products and become a Linux geek.

Jammrock

PS - This is the Windows 2000 EULA, which I know you have

[Gurm]

Jammrock:

But see that EULA only holds in the countries where Microsoft has legally binding contracts. However, in the sovereign nation of Gurmonia, there is a stiff penalty for making deals with satan... err... I mean Bill Gates.

Jorden:

10 weeks. And I _am_ doing important things. First of all, I'm trying to figure out where we're going to live (probably back in Massachusetts where my parents have given us free land upon which to build a house), where I'm going to work, etc.

I'm also performing the VERY important task of trying NOT TO PANIC! (ARRRRRGHHHH!!!!)

- Gurm

P.S. We're raising money - anyone want to buy our spare computer? It's in a separate thread, check it out!

Gurm!!
Great news !! I won't change a thing, trust me... I have three.... Its no big deal...

[RAB]

Congradulations!!!! Just don't nickname him/her "Screwhead"

RAB

[Jammrock]

Gurmonia? hehehehe...

I think you should name you kid Ash if it's a boy and Ashley if a girl

Jammrock

[Gurm]

I already thought of that, and Julie nixed both names.
