    I mean - really - who isn't a C++ expert?!
    Probably half of slashdot figures they are C++
    experts. Its like being an expert in drinking
    a glass of water. What makes this guy an expert?
    What's he know about C++ that we don't?

    With a photo like this I think Herb is on the herb. Look at his eye's. He's wasted.


    And the pornstar moustache just tops it off.

  6. Monkeys and C++ by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll
    I was watching a nature show on TV. Seems like the Japanese have a real problem with Snow Monkeys. They used to be cute and fuzzy, fun to photograph and drew thousands of tourists to watch their antics every year. But then the tourists began to feed the monkeys. As one biologist said: Wild monkeys are used to fending for themselves. When they can start getting food without working, their behavior changes. They become mean, aggressive and dangerous. If they see something they want they take it.

    Now, farmers have to hire guards with sawed off shotguns to protect their property (just like South Africa) and tourists risk attack whenever a monkey approaches (just like in any big American city).

    Yes Amanda, our version of the Snow Monkey (Nigger Americanus) behaves exactly like the Japanese species.
