I believe just slinging them at the wall might never help. Ask Ballmer. Mark
ended up leaving. On to GNUoogle!!

| that Lucovsky was about to leave Microsoft for Google. In the account,
| Ballmer threw a chair across the room and shouted: "Fucking Eric Schmidt
| is a fucking pussy. I'm going to fucking bury that guy, I have done it
| before, and I will do it again. I'm going to fucking kill Google."
| Shortly after, he resumed trying to persuade Lucovsky to stay at
| Microsoft.
