            Surely it's "WTF? It compiles? Ship it."

            the last thing I want to see is some pasty-faced geek with skin so pale that it's almost translucent trying to bump parts with a partner - John Simmons / outlaw programmer

                  Yes, but only the first time. Look, most people here work with windows everyday, and achieve great or minor feats with it. We all have our gripes with it, we know what rocks and what sucks. But hearing the same lame jokes again and again is just tiring.
