You know, when I was six, I loved watching Wile E. Coyote. Despite my age, I never had an urge to strap large springs on my feet and jump off a cliff. I knew it was ridiculous.
Interviewer: You're in a desert, walking along in the sand when all of a sudden you look down... Me: What one? Interviewer: What? Me: What desert? Interviewer: It doesn't make any difference what desert, it's completely hypothetical. Me: But, how come I'd be there? Interviewer: Maybe you're fed up. Maybe you want to be by yourself. Who knows? You look down and see a tortoise, Leon. It's crawling toward you... Me: Tortoise? What's that? Interviewer: You know what a turtle is? Me: Of course! Interviewer: Same thing. Me: I've never seen a turtle. (pause) But I understand what you mean. Interviewer: You reach down and you flip the tortoise over on its back, Leon. Me: Do you make up these questions, Mr. Holden? Or do they write 'em down for you? Interviewer: The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. Me: WHAT DO YOU MEAN, I'M NOT HELPING? Interviewer: I mean you're not helping! Why is that, Leon? Interviewer: They're just questions, Leon. In answer to your query they're written down for me. It's a test, designed to provoke an emotional response. (pause) Shall we continue?
It went down hill from there. Needless to say, I didn't get the job.
I was going to post a comment just like this. After years of doing software development, the most complex math I've ever needed would be considered basic algebra.
Now, on my own time, I've done some graphics work, with the requisite trig stuff. Even then, this is all High School level math.
When you have type commands out on a 110 baud teletype (you know, the kind with a roll of paper for a display), you tend to keep them terse. That's also why many commands print nothing when they succeed (like rm).
You don't see a blue screen in XP because the default behavior for the BSOD type errors in XP is to simply reboot.
I dual-boot XP and Linux. The XP install would crash (essentially a "random reboot") at least once a week. Since then, I've gone Linux only (ubuntu), and it never crashes. I only reboot for kernel upgrades. Machine is on 24/7.
Why is this cool? Well, until now, you had two options: electric heaters that keep a large amount of water hot at all times, or natural gas heaters that heat up water on-demand.
I guess my "natural gas heater that keeps a large amounts of water hot at all times" that I installed last month must be imaginary.

Are you allowed to vote in the jurisdiction that's attempting to tax you?
From a moral stance, you're hardly obligated to pay taxes to a government that doesn't allow you to elect representatives. Especially in America.
(Notice I didn't say "... to a government that doesn't represent you.")

A modern twist on a timeless classic.
Simply get the water moving, aim it at an incline, and it will flow uphill. Sheesh.
Movies in general are 90% crap. Hell, 90% of everything is crap. It's just with game movies, they're 100% crap.
"As much as you'd like to go to your closest strip mall, have a salesperson discern your hardware needs, and walk out with a shiny new computer..."
No, I think I'd rather rub my head with a cheese grater while chewing on aluminum foil.

"Worst Buy": My, what delicious satire.
... It didn't go so well:
Interviewer: You're in a desert, walking along in the sand when all of a sudden you look down...
Me: What one?
Interviewer: What?
Me: What desert?
Interviewer: It doesn't make any difference what desert, it's completely hypothetical.
Me: But, how come I'd be there?
Interviewer: Maybe you're fed up. Maybe you want to be by yourself. Who knows? You look down and see a tortoise, Leon. It's crawling toward you...
Me: Tortoise? What's that?
Interviewer: You know what a turtle is?
Me: Of course!

Searching the web, I found a page with a photograph of the new surveillance drones.
I can't stand the suspense ... what did Wine do next?
Considering there's only 744 hours in a 31 day month.
What's the normal shark / ocean percentage? The assumed detail being that it's normally 100% filled with sharks? Does anyone even know?

I thought the Xbox was made by Microsoft?
No, we should try using a *higher* form of life next. Going backwards isn't much good.
Can he vote in NY? No? Then no taxes for NY.
"The kiddies really like shiny crap, so we should make shiny crap that they'll like."
No, really.
Exactly my point. They bash Open Source about lack of indemnity without offering any themselves.
