VB is alright for business applications if you keep it away from morons, but there's just no hope for ASP 3.0. Biggest piece of shit I have ever had the misfortune to work in.
It's like they took the bad parts of scripting languages and combined them with the bad parts of vb and changed the syntax just enough to drive me nuts.
When you hit 18 years old, your metabolism will slow down. Lay off the bar-b-que corn chips and chocolate milk around that time, ok? And stop wearing baggy pants. Trust me, if you don't, you will gain 40 pounds by the time you are done college (and those pants will actually fit!).
Everyone seems to be obsessed with money. I'm more concerned about my health, so that's what I would say.
Office Space was perfect, though I doubt its ever going to attract anyone into the field. Face it, we have a boring job, that is only exciting if you love logic and puzzles.
Hell, it goes one step further and shows how it's so boring that someone would rather work on a road crew. I personally can't relate - I would rather be doing something more challenging. I guess that's why my hobbies include Linux (though not lately, I heard it's getting easier, so i may have to try the Hurd:)
THat's not just a problem with computer programmers (though we do have a reputation for being obese, true or not) - for some reason, overweight people are automatically assumed to lack self control, lack intelligence, lack social graces and charisma, and are assumed to be unclean and even more evil than thin people. Studies I have read about have shown this (although I don't have any links handy, working from memory, feel free to prove me right or wrong).
My question is how do we form these opinions? I have yet to hear a convincing argument about this question...
Uhm, no. I have a Gamecube and a ps2. I bought my girlfriend Animal Crossing for the Gamecube. Now she plays the Gamecube constantly, so I'm stuck on the ps2. (If you read the thread my comment makes sense:)
My real name is so common that I was perpetually stuck with nicknames my whole life. At one point I lived in a small town (2000 people) and there were 4 people in the same grade as me with the same name. My name was quite popular in the 1970's but waned in the 1980's (well, if going from 3 to 11 is waning:)
And yet my youngest brothers' name never even shows up on these lists.
It's a wonder that I am so eccentric and he is so Joe Sixpack.
That makes me sad. Why would you say such hurtful things?
Seriously though, many of us "high UIDers" lurked for many years before getting an account and posting.
And of course, many trolls have low UIDs as well (and some of the clever ones *cough*Jack Wagner*cough* routinely get modded up - perhaps because they sound intelligent and have low UIDs?) Maybe we shouldn't show UIDs at all.
== that it's their problem. They're just jealous of me. It's my right to ascertain things. You should talk to them about their being upset about my...ascertaination.
Is that true? Isn't that a form of price dumping, or is it different because it's IP and not a physical product? Sony almost got burned for doing that with the PSX, IIRC...

No, I said photograph. As in using a camera, with film and a dark room.:)
Remember, you can never plug the analog hole.
or you could just take a photograph of it.
:)
Whoops, so much for that idea, eh?

Hey, that sounds like a potential Bob the Angry Flower cartoon. I imagine Sinistar could be involved too...

was sorta realistic, except for the whole "Bill Jobs trying to kill OSS developers" sideline...
:)
unless... maybe RMS should watch his back, eh?
Wow, those lyrics also work for "I Increase My Bust" by Lords of Acid. Just thought you'd like to know...
If it nearly missed, it would have hit you.
Christ, I hate that expression

I just had a curious vision of Frink doing the old Beastie Boys track "Hey Ladies"
Wow, that would be messed up...
Two words:
:)
Animal Crossing
Been stuck on the PS2 for weeks now
How about Phil McCracken - I knew some McCrackens, but there was no Phil among them :)
For christs sake, don't swing between thoughtful and goofy so suddenly, I almost spit on the monitor!

Perhaps, but I have no idea how to pronounce your name. Just try saying mine ten times real fast :)
OOPSLA .... oooo-psla ... O-O-SSSSPLA
hehe, that's a messed up name. What is it with (us) geeks and acronyms anyway?

I prefer delineate myself.

You forgot "Barefoot Gen" - imho it is the best animated film (storywise) ever.
:)
Given the fact it's about ww2 and tragedy, if it was remade today it might actually win an oscar too

Slashdot doesn't suck, it's just all the loudmouthed linux hippies and biased moderators!
No, it's a joke, don't mod me down *ARGH*
I've never seen Downs Syndrome porn so I have no grounds for comparison. Midget porn, sure, but not Downs Syndrome porn.
Hey, some racist modded me as troll. I love Chris Rock and this joke was perfectly appropriate given he is "Blacker than Black" - dumbass mods.
