MSFT Reaches Out To Hackers: 'Do Epic $#!+'

hessian writes "Microsoft isn't exactly known for its underground hacker culture, but a recent effort to give its employees more slack is generating some wild experiments. Last summer, Microsoft completed a redesign of one of its original buildings on campus — Building 4, where Bill Gates' office used to be — into a laid-back workshop where staff can tinker with things. It's open to anyone, anytime, and it's got everything from a hardware workshop to an actual working garage door. If it doesn't sound to you like something Microsoft would normally do , the Garage's motto will really shock you: 'Do epic s--t.'"

Hey Microsoft, this watering down is why you're sucking as a tech company.

I know what can improve Microsoft!

I know, what can turn Microsoft into a decent company, but it involves mass murder.

I took an epic shit at the Microsoft campus

A few years ago, Microsoft was interested in buying up my startup company, sort of an acqui-hire type thing since the company was basically me, some patents, and some tech demos. I visited their campus during the talks to see how if I could get along with their culture. Anyhow, they took me to an "authentic" (if tex-mex is authentic) mexican restaurant. Wouldn't you know, I ended up with a massive case of the shits an hour later. I must have been on their toilet for hour, pissing shit out my asshole and releasing a vast quantity of ass-gas. At one point they, sent someone in to check on me.

By the time I was done, the entire bathroom reeked of death and there were numerous shit streaks all along the wall and floor of my stall.
