    Real programmers don't document. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand. If Bill Gates had a penny for every time Windows crashed......Oh wait, he does. "My girlfriend always laughs during sex - no matter what she's reading." - Steve Jobs Beware of Geeks bearing .gifs There are two major products to come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX. We don't believe this to be a coincidence. The two most dangerous things in the world: A Pollock with a computer and a programmer with a screwdriver. Ethernet (n): something used to catch the etherbunny. Who is General Protection Fault and why is he reading my hard disk? I cna ytpe 300 wrods pre mniuet!!! Programmer - A red-eyed, mumbling mammal capable of conversing with inanimate objects. Why doesn't DOS ever say "EXCELLENT command or filename!" Should the year 2000 VW Beetle be refered to as the "Y2K Bug"? With no walls or fences on the Internet, who needs Windows or Gates? Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning. A good programmer is someone who looks both ways before crossing a one-way street. Smith & Wesson: The original point and click interface.

                            Actually not. The neighborhood is a set of three one-way streets, in alternating directions. The streets are long; close to a mile. People get lazy and won't drive 1/4 mile to one of the cross streets to work their way back out. I yelled at a guy one time who was driving the wrong way at high speed (he was probably doing 45-50 mph; it's a residential neighborhood, where the limit's 25 mph). He stopped and I told him he was going the wrong way and way too fast; there are kids playing. He told me, "I don't give a f*ck about your f*cking kids. If they get in my way, I'll run'em down." He pulled out and went down the next cross street. I called the cops; it turns out he was driving under a suspended license.

                              Idiots are everywhere. If you're driving the wrong way at least do it slowly and discreetly. That is if you absolutly must to do it.
