So pat yourself on the back.  Ye gads, it's only a PDF file.

PDF files?  The only ones I can find are jpegs.

I gotta say, I was slightly disappointed by the various 10,000 Workunit
Certificates.  The &size=2&color=2 certificate broke the pattern of previous
certs by giving us color on a black background (the previous were on a white
background).  Of course that means the date in the bottom right is cut off.

You did the crunching.  You KNOW you did the crunching.  Is it going
to be any more valuable that you did the crunching because you've got
some fancy-pants certificate to say "Oh wow.  Thankyou so very much"?

It's all about psychology.  See, this is all very scientific :-)  The drug
companies are marketing a sure-fire fix for our problem with this.  Of
course the prescription will cost as much as a new computer but we need to
be fixed, see.

If you really DID do it just for the science and not for the kudos
you wouldn't be whinging.  Get a life...

All for the science... all for the science...
I think we need clarification on what science truely is :-)
