His girlfriend shakes her head in disappointment, turns to him and then scolds. "Have you not read the warnings on those packs. Tobacco use causes gross, often fatal lung disease. And it kills babies!" He calmly replies, "I'm a programmer babe. We ignore warnings and only worry about errors."

Give him a bottle of shampoo which says "lather, rinse, repeat." ----------------------------------- jeffgreco13 Wed Jun 25, 2008 8:18 am Re: Humour; Warnings. ----------------------------------- This pretty much sums it up... apomb showed me this [img]http://xkcd.com/303/[/img] ----------------------------------- Aziz Wed Jun 25, 2008 9:01 am RE:Humour; Warnings. ----------------------------------- Unoriginal is unoriginal :P about 50% of xkcd applies to most of us.

Our 100,000 word app "compiled" itself in about 2 minutes for dev, about 4 for production (all the database linkage and prep). So the dev load gave us just enough time to start rubber band fights but never finish them. Well we broke down one giddy day and ignored the DECTalk message that the build was finished and just kept fighting. Wouldn't you know that I ducked down just as the boss came in through the door and ker-smack. Right to the face with a stinger of a shot from my buddy. The office was pretty quiet for the next few days. The boss never said a word.

With drug dealers, if you do your job well, and you can sleep with sexy movie stars who depend on you. With programmers you....Damn! Damn! DAMN!!!DAAAMMMNN!!!!!!!!!!!

Even the computer industry failed to see the importance of the Internet, but that's not saying much. Let's face it, the computer industry failed to see that the century would end. ----------------------------------- Insectoid Sat Jun 28, 2008 10:49 am RE:Humour; Warnings. ----------------------------------- http://atom.smasher.org/error/gallery/ Thought this one was funny.

Thanks a lot Walt Whitman. ----------------------------------- btiffin Sun Jun 29, 2008 8:01 pm Re: Humour; Warnings. ----------------------------------- I don't know; I find this funny. From GNU Coding Standards http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html#System-Portability "If you do support Windows, please do not abbreviate it as "win". In hacker terminology, calling something a "win" is a form of praise. You're free to praise Microsoft Windows on your own if you want, but please don't do this in GNU packages. Instead of abbreviating "Windows" to "win", you can write it in full or abbreviate it to "woe" or "w". In GNU Emacs, for instance, we use "w32" in file names of Windows-specific files, but the macro for Windows conditionals is called WINDOWSNT." Cheers ----------------------------------- btiffin Sun Jun 29, 2008 8:04 pm RE:Humour; Warnings. ----------------------------------- Sorry, the quotes cut from the website causing error messages ... I keep forgetting the post takes Sorry, my bad. So another one that is not so funny.

(Linus Torvalds) Cheers Edit; Sorry about the double-post. Thought of it just as I hit submit and the mental methane released. New one; The little one usually watches TVO/Kids. It's great. No commercials and we never have to worry about unsuitable content. Well she was watching the tube a little later than normal the other day (TVO/Kids sings the end the show song at 7pm). Anyway for lack of a better choice I put in on YTV. Not as great for a five year old ... man do they ever push the toys and junk "Gotta have this", but I did get to notice this funny bit: There is a show Icarly. No idea, but the ad. Don't forget to visit Icarly.com. Remember it's .com not .net. .NET is for losers! 'nuther new one; This one will get you fired if spoken outloud in a cubicle space: Life is like a monkey tree. Worker monkeys at the bottom, and a few boss monkeys at the top. The boss monkeys look down, they see smiling monkeys. When the worker monkeys look up, they see assholes. Cheers
