How do you eat your pizza: folded, flat or with a fork and knife?
Submitted by danimass.
It depends on where I am eating the said pizza. If I am eating it in the office where the slide is huge (normal for New York pizza) then I eat it folded. If the pizza is normal size then I eat it flat. And if I am eating the pizza in a restaurant then I may use fork and knife, but it all depends on how everyone else are eating their pizza. When in Rome, do as Roman does.

Windows, Mac, Linux – What's your preference and why?
Submitted by ramblingsbymark.
I prefer Mac as a day-to-day OS/Computer. Not that Windows are bad, I use it everyday for 8+ hours for work, and Microsoft has made developing software on Windows really easy and enjoyable. Apple's Xcode is ok but it is nothing like Visual Studio or even Eclipse. But the fact remains that Windows are not secure, must require running of anti-virus/anti-spyware software in the background, requires constant vigilant to make sure it is not infected, etc. makes using a Mac so much more less stressful and enjoyable.
The last time I tried Linux was nearly 10 years ago and even with these intervening years I still think Linux has not evolved into the point where any consumers can install and use it without knowledge of *nix.
OS X is really Linux done right.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live? Why?
Submitted by abcdefg81.
Right now eiron and I are living in the city that I want to live in, namely New York City. Having born and grew up in a cosmopolitan city like Hong Kong, I've always preferred living in a big city. ('Preferred is an understatement, I think)
And in the course of answering this question, I just realize I have lived in 3 out of the 4 major financial centres of the world: London, New York, and Hong Kong. Tokyo being the only city I haven't visited, let alone lived, I would definitely jump at any chance of spending a few years there. This is, of course, assuming that somehow I can afford to live there!
Before the head of development leaves my company and moves to Wisconsin with his wife to 'make baby' (their words, not mine). The senior manager would take over his role and share some of the responsibility with me, as I am currently the manager of software development. What would this mean, I don't know. One thing for sure is that without the head of development's shielding us from all the inter-office politics, I will be dealing with the senior management and the crap that comes with it more often than I want to. But no matter, his decision of leaving for the mid-west has already been the trigger of our own plan to move to another city. Now it's just a matter of when and where.
