One of the more prolific trolls on Channel9, under the pseudonym ‘Shooby’, posted some flamebait today. The post was so inarticulate and poorly thought-out that I felt I had to respond.
His initial Post, sans irrelevant cannabis-induced meanderings:
Top 10 things Windows is better at than Linux
10 making you feel like you are a slave to the [...]

Someone in Chris Pirillo’s chat room linked to a student thesis that was apparently written when the student was high. It’s riddled with poor grammar, spelling errors, excessive profanity, and strong sexual content. Additionally, the pages are all different colors and have holes punched on both sides; while one page is of abnormal size and [...]

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
And the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
And the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report!
If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash,
And the double-clicking icons put your [...]

My understanding of Supply and Demand is that if someone demands a product, and someone else supplies that product, the two agree on a reasonable price and a transaction is completed. When this process is broken, however, supply is unavailable and thus the economy falls into an abyss.

Someone on Channel9 linked to a video of a Lexicographer on the subject of Dictionary Evolution. Sure, sounds boring as hell, but it’s actually really funny. If you have sixteen minutes, check it out; Plus, you may learn something.

This is “Ode to my Laser”, which I purchased from Thinkgeek.
On a night with clear black skies,
Above the town an airplane flies;

I point, I click, I count to five,
And the [...]

From what I can tell, it was supposed to be a horror/comedy movie, but I think I’ll file this one under “Sci Fi” [...]

Sunday at 3AM, I finished some bugfixes and pushed code to test. Apparently Test was unprepared for it and flew off the handle as a result.
Tester Lead: “There was a code drop at 3 AM last night!”
Dev Mgr: “So?”
Tester Lead: “Don’t you think that’s a little unusual?”
Dev Mgr: “Well, try as I might, I just [...]

During a standard Occupational Readiness Excercise at Kadena, I was tasked by Eagle-eye to “Infiltrate the Heavies side” of the flightline. I was allowed to go in any attire I saw fit, as I was expected to be caught. I was given an ORE card, which identifies me as an Excercise member and not a [...]

During the last few months of my tour at Kadena AB, while I was waiting for my discharge to finalize, I was placed as Airman In Charge of some of the 67AMU’s side activities; Apparently the military has the same policy as Big Business when it comes to people who are about to leave.
