Happy birthday...

I thought the birthday was of someone (or something) special. :sigh: *I am not one of do-my-homework guys in QA*
The shit I complain about It's like there ain't a cloud in the sky and it's raining out - Eminem ~! Firewall !~

I'd say Google is special. Say what you like about the company, life without the search engine would be a major step backwards. The only reason MS developed Bing was because Google was so good, so useful - and that's why Bing is still underused. You don't have to be a lazy student to use it, to appreciate it: I use it a lot. Like it or not, the world needs a search engine - even if only to find what you need in MSDN because the MS search is so poor. I use it, because it works and because I remember exactly what it was like trying to find out what a function was called using paper manuals in the days before it existed! :laugh:
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Well that was just a metaphor and I forgot to use the "Joke" type for it. :laugh:

What Archie? Never used it! But they were all a bit... Um... Rubbish, until Google came along, which is why so many people I knew used Metasearch engines like Mamma instead.

"In the world of computer programming, 17 is widely considered the least random number." Really? Why? (I'm too lazy to Google it) And 4 is the most random.[^]

Don't be surprised when you hear this quoted during your next job interview.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?" "You mean like from space?" "No, from Canada." If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.You don't have to slavishly admire an IT company to be a good engineer.

I have had some bosses who wanted to have no less than your soul. Indeed, thw worse the stuff they produced was, the more they demanded you to be 'excited' and 'dedicated' to their bugware. It has become an important indicator for me during interviews. I want a job, not marry them.

Smacks of idolatry to me!
