How can it be a troll to claim to be running Linux on a worm? Who is going to 'fall for' my claim? Does anyone (beside the moderator) actually think I may have gotten a computer operating system to run on an organism just slightly more complex than an ameoba?
I apologize if you got embarrased when you ran to all your freinds telling them the amazing news that someone got Linux running on an animal with a brain the size of a comma. But that's your fault and it doesn't make this silly humorous post a 'troll'.

This one is simple! Get her on the phone, ask her how her childhood affects your current relationship, put on a headset, fire up your favorite FPS and start blasting away! You may finish several levels, if not the entire game!

If I were I would have posted as an Anonymous Coward, just as you have. I work from my home office 90% of the time, and I make approx. $10K per month. I do it by spending a lot of time and effort selling. At times I have to turn down projects because I am too busy. I have tried bringing in a partner and once I even tried outsourcing a project to India, but that was a total disaster and hurt my reputation.
I'm not saying it's easy. It was much easier a few years ago. I didn't have to work nearly as hard as I do now. I have a lot of experience and a lot of contacts. I also had enough funds to survive making almost NOTHING my first year on my own while I built up contacts and clients.
> few were able to come up with more than $10,000 over the last 12 months
I am upset if I don't make $10,000 a month. Spend more times doing 'sales'. Build a network of referrals. Give free seminars to attract attention. Make sure you are always working. If you ever have down time you aren't doing enough sales.
Don't try to compete on price. It's not worth it. If someone wants you to compete on price with India, move on.
Hey, that was no troll. For 364 days a year commercials are vapid annoying forgettable disco-balls of bad taste. For one day the ad agencies are allowed free-reign to showcase their best funniest attempts to get our attention, even if the brand they are advertising is hardly mentioned if at all. I for one LOVE watching the commercials during the superbowl, and I make sure to go to the bathroom and get more munchies during the game so I don't miss any good commercials.
> I can't see Microsoft ever making any significant profit there
Well let's see. They are already spending the development and R&D costs for making the software for sale here. They can mass produce CD's in the same third world countries they will be selling in for probably less than a penny each. I think they will be able to find a little profit there somehow.

Thank you to all the people I've mugged in alleys over the years for saving me thousands of dollars on cars, motorcycles, clothes, drugs, jewelry, and dinner with friends/family for providing the worthless crap that our materialistic society demands we consume.

Jesus Christ, LIGHTEN UP! These are some people having fun learning to program games, mostly kids. They probably don't have a lot of LAWYERS working with them, and hopefully don't have alot of jerks who want to 'kick their ass' or 'sue their ass' because of it.

Well, you got me there. I'm still watching Enterprise also, hoping one day for this:

He's not arguing that you shouldn't be allowed to use your shift key! You can still capitalize your static variables if you like. His point is it does hurt having case sensitivity in variable names (and objects, functions, etc).
If you spell a variable "thisIsImportant" in hundreds of places throughout your source code, but in one place spell it "ThisIsImportant" a case sensitive language like Java will consider those two DIFFERENT variables. The authors argument, which I agree with, is that for better compatibility with human beings those should be considered the SAME variable. There is no useful case for having those be separate variables. It would be terrible style to use the SAME word with different capitalizations for different variables. Words do not parse, sound, or feel different when they are capitalized differently. They should not be considered different words. Of course you can still use any capitalization scheme you feel aids your programs readability, such as static variables in all CAPS and long names with the firsLettersOfWordsCapitalized.

Thats nothing. Im running Linux on a Nematode!
Today the U.S. Government has issued these equally important directives:
1) All federal employees must tie their shoelaces using a right-over-left Ian knot.
2) Handwritten ampersands must be of the official '&' variety and not the 'sloppy plus' variety.
3) Toilet paper must be folded, not crumpled.

This is the first time I've seen a TROLL ARTICLE!
1) Switch from Medicine to Computer Science
2) Move to India
3) ??
4) Profit!

I think this nut missed a scene where Sam's third cousin had a hangnail on his LEFT pinky instead of his RIGHT pinky.
