Call it Sexist, but we have started naming the servers in our office after the women that work here, just so we can say.. "Becky is going down...". And before everyone starts flaming me, the first box named in this way was named after my wife...
Perl?? Not always. I work for a firm that is presently rebuilding an e-commerce solution for a client, that IBM had originally done. Here's the kicker, we were asked to do this because "Big Blue's" solution is NOT Y2K compliant... So that's how you treat your "pals"?
A couple years ago when I worked for a LARGE company, I was asked to test one out to see how tough it was. In the manual it stated that it could be dropped from a height of six feet. Curiosity got the best of me and I held it upto my eyes (only 5' 8" +/-) and dropped it. I then picked all of the pieces up, put them in the box and informed my manager that it wasn't so tough. I wonder if they ever took that statement out of the manual?
