    There wouldn't be elves, that's for sure.

        Are you telling me that's not what elves would look like if developers were in charge? :laugh:

          I have no idea. All I do know is that he would leave everything till the very last moment and then pull an all-nighter on the eve of delivery.

              There would be no easter eggs in his applications. Christmas Trees would be binary -- or fractals. If you received socks you could press undo. We wouldn't leave him milk. He would enter through a back door.

              And instead of leaving a brand new xbox 360, he would leave a hand-crafted wooden Trojan horse.
