A Leaky Carburetor
a: A carburetor ~
b: a little toilet
What: "Try tapping on the carb while the key is on, see if the dripping stops. It's possible that the needles need help seating. Otherwise you need to take the tops off and double check things to see if the floats are floating and the needles open and close freely. A carburetor is like a little toilet, when the bowl is full the flow should stop."

a: Programming in C on UNIX ~
b: welding
What:
"Programming in C on UNIX or Windows systems is like welding. By contrast, I call Java the hot glue of the internet. A couple of college kids can quickly put a compelling demo together by painting over something else, like making a stage set, and that demo can often attract funding, and then real users, and then it all bogs down and gets slow and sticky or it falls apart. If you've ever hot-glued anything together, a month later you know what I mean"
