It certainly doesn't stop the generation that raised their kids with this message from pointing at those kids and saying "look how stupid their decision to go to college for X was. Serves them right for running up that loan debt! Schadenfreude, schadenfreude, fuck you I got mine, schadenfreude.
Just look at the comments on this article. How many of these kids are on the track their parents/school/every-freaking-one put them on? How much do people love to point at them and say "serves you right." What a fucked up attitude we have.
If you're only worried about Linux being a moving target because you write poorly-coded crapware, then good news! Windows update always breaks SOMETHING on all the poorly-coded crapware IT installs on my work desktop. Seriously. Every. Time. It. Runs.
For 99% of home users, Google Docs is all they even need.

Coulter pine is the first thing I thought of too... those unopened cones are as dense as a solid block of wood.
There's a reason they have the nickname "widowmakers."
Oh man, I used to love watching those Project Grizzly videos when I was in high school/college.
I'm going to go with Office 2007 for the last "sane" one.
Although the ribbon was when I dumped Office for Openoffice. It made me realize "why am I even paying for this?"
I got you covered.

I do love T-tops...
9am to 9pm is two 6 hour shifts?

I know you're being silly, but this seems like a good point to drop a link for Bergmann's Rule:

Sounds like Vernor Vinge's Programmer-at-arms or possibly Programmer-archaeologist position to me.

Watch the video, it's highly satisfying.

I think you mean it doesn't go deep...
Thereby proving his exact point.
Yup. Same.
Because they existed before 2009, but Mylan changed the design slightly around then and reapplied for a patent on the "new improved" design.
This generic can be exactly the same as a pre-2009 model and still work just fine.

Yes, a much better law would require each company have at least one non-sociopathic board member.
But that might be hard to fill from the existing pool.
That's true, although stepping down in RAM size for an upgrade is a bitter pill to swallow :)
