It's not a shop with a big open source history, so I think everyone's making these up as they go along. I just want to either be right or minimise the number of blank looks I get. Preferably (a), but (b) is politically useful.
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have never heard post-gree. I use post-gress or post-gress-queue-ell, depending on how fast I want to be done saying it.

Does anyone work with aspect-oriented programming? I'm trying to get an mid-level overview and wikipedia isn't doing it for me. Any suggestions for information sources?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Steph, my co-worker bought a refurbished iPod Touch on the Apple site and it's working well.
My current iPod (which is a 2nd generation Mini, from back in the dark ages) is a refurb, and I've never had a problem with it.
However, right now every iPod Touch on the refurb site is a 2nd generation, and I'd rather get the 3rd generation, so I may be buying new.
I should be patient and wait until Black Friday/Cyber Monday.
I HATE being patient!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hasselblad H3DII-50 MS is the best digital camera you can get for $34,000
Your digital camera sucks. At least it does compared to the new Hasselblad H3DII-50 MS. The moter of all DSLRs is insanely expensive at $34,000, but I'm sure it's totally worth it. Maybe?

I now have an iMac. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it, but having a Mac around should be fun. Maybe it will become the dedicated scanning and photo editing machine, that seems very Mac-ish.
I didn't buy it, I was given it. It'll free up a PC to give to somebody else.

At this point the iMac is my mainstay machine, even for Windows duties, the latest ones are very well put together machines. I've got 4 of them from 2006 that run flawlessly and still have tons of power even compared to the newest machines that I've got.

I think this one is 4 to 5 years old. I have too much Windows-only software to use it instead of my PC. The PC is also wicked fast at everything and has a 28" monitor.

I hear ya. My main desktop computer is now a 27" running at 2560x1440, and the one in the studio is a 24" running at 1920x1200. I love me some big screen real estate. Now that I've got the big 27" it's the first time I've not been running dual monitors in years. I'd run dual 20's or dual 24's for quite a while.
My work is a pretty even split between Mac only software and Windows only software which is a big part of the reason for the dual boot environment now. I used to always have two machines on my desktop which was a massive pain in the butt.
