Quothe Witchy, from writings of Wed, Jan 28, 2004 at 12:03:03AM -0000: [...] Two definitions for the same word sounds entirely reasonable. After all, many years ago, a hacker was someone who made hoes, well before people using computers began calling themselves hackers. Still, I suspect that a cow-orker who works in some Dilbertesqe corporate, or governmental, office environment is much less safer for most people and non-human animals to be around than a four-legged orker meeting your definition, whose only bad habit may be sticking its nose into camera lenses. Of course, it appears that there is, of course, some similarity between the two definitions, as cow-orkers do get up the noses of others... so, orking, in general, apparently has something to do with noses. -- Copyright (C) 2003 R.

Quothe Fred Cisin, from writings of Tue, Jan 27, 2004 at 05:06:08PM -0800: Is it not possible that, given the warped minds of some cow-orkers, getting up someone's nose may provide them with some peculiar form of sexual satisfaction? After all, can they not be quite strange? Disclaimer: I make no claim to being an authority on cow-orkers, particularly since I've been away from them for nearly a few years. -- Copyright (C) 2003 R.

hi folks - the main difference ive found between normal orking and cow-orking is that while normal orking is regulated by the ieee - cow orking is under the regulation of the eieio - ;-) -billp On Wednesday, Jan 28, 2004, at 17:04 US/Eastern, Geoffrey Thomas wrote:
