<0> heh
<1> poor ****
<2> bill gates said that?
<2> when?
<1> ok, time to get cracking
<3> computer security coference in san jose
<0> break a leg...
<1> sweet, indian music videos
<1> r0x0r
<3> ?
<1> tv
<4> he's getting in touch with his 'inner roots'
<1> pfft
<3> hehe
<0> quayle maybe
<0> mr potato
<5> bealtine have you ever seen the "Sesame Street" outtakes of celebreties saying the alphabet?
<0> no :)
<6> vawjrwrk aren't you a bit grown up for Sesame Street?
<4> you're never too old
<5> hilarious.... one of the "bits" they did early on was have a celeb recite the alphabet... they always offered "cue cards" and were almost always turned down
<5> it seems that trying to recite the alphabet as a very slow speed isn't as simple as one expects and the errors are quite humorous
<5> IRR yes, I am, but my kids weren't
<3> i'd probably slip up too vawjr :/
<6> Kids?
<6> Did you have another baby?
<6> I mean your wife...
<3> my mind would be completely side tracked onto new things lol
<5> Sesame Street started about the time my oldest was 3
<5> TchRaven I think that's what happened to these folks also...but the looks on their faces when they realized they'd just fogotton that L comes after K (or whatever) were priceless
<0> my kids recite the alphabet in american (thanks sesame st)
<0> and barney
<7> heheh
<7> what is the big difference other than z ?
<5> zed?
<0> mostly the way its "sung" that cadence is different and zed
<0> zed kills zee
<6> Heh, Americans are the worst at learning languages
<0> the english are far worse
<0> they believe all forinurs are just deaf really
<6> I had two Americans in my french cl*** who'd go like "Jhayee manjhay, jhayee dhormee, jhayee jhooay..."
<5> IRR, there's little _need_ to learn other languages here, we've got 3000 miles E-W and almost 1500 N-S we can move and almost everyone uses the same language
<0> and millions of spanish hiding amongst you
<5> in Europe, you're lucky to go 400 miles w/out crossing a border where the language changes
<6> vawjrwrk not if you are a wild-life activist and want to work in Madagascar
<5> Madagascar isn't withing 3000 miles of here
<6> vawjrwrk thats not my point
<6> It was your point
<8> pfft, madagascar is close :P
<0> anyway all you funinurs should just learn english and lets get it over with
<5> and for learning computer languages, I think we do rather well
<6> Yeah, and Saturn is on the next block behind the planetarium
<6> vawjrwrk thats because you guys make them :P
<5> well
<5> the rest of us have to learn them
<9> why ?:(
<0> weird
<5> yup, very weird
<5> but he asked tech for 5 minutes of +v, it had been 12
<5> err, 15?
<1> oh wow
<1> this code never stops amazing me
<5> lay it on us, so we can all be amazed too
<5> and I can laugh as my system reboots from the "critical update" install
<1> two (very) large identical methods, the only difference is that one takes an argument and p***es it to another method, and another takes no argument and p***es a constant to the method... (this is C# so there are no default args)
<1> and they differ in name (LoadCalendarDataTable, LoadCalendarDataTableForTdy - I ***ume omitting the 'o' and 'a' in Today saves valuable time)
<4> heh
<1> literally a cut and paste job, the comments are identical through both methods
<5> copy/paste is one of the banes of good sw development
<1> even better
<1> there's a defect that's been fixed in *both* locations
<5> fixed differently?
<0> code'n'oaste code reuse easier than cl***es...
<1> no, but i'm surprised the developer that fixed the defect didn't go "wtf are there two methods that do the same thing?)
<1> "
<1> instead, he happily went on his way fixing it in multiple places
<1> also, why does every developer use local time in databases?
<5> not _every_
<1> scratch that
<1> every poor developer
<0> furin time is furin
<1> you should see that credit monitoring company i did a project on
<1> everything was local
<5> oh geez
<1> and they hope to get an office in england using their systems
<1> good luck with that
<5> brb, finished installing the downloads.... bbiab
<4> somehow my credit score went from 638 to 652 sometime last week
<4> guess it's time to try and get a credit card again
<1> also, if i see one more try { } catch (Exception ex) { throw ex; } i'll scream
<4> ...
<4> geez
<6> I think its important to write unmaintainable code, without documentation
<10> peterhu = gaey
<6> lolstc
<1> these people have it down to an art
<6> It gives you job security
<1> JBlitzen you unemployed trailer cowboy
<1> heh, i have a credit card shared with my father
<1> he put 17K on it last week
<4> heh
<1> for some upcoming vacation
<4> what does he do?
<1> my score dropped 20 pts
<1> he's a retired lawyer
<4> ah, neat
<0> **** chaney got him too?
<6> Oh so he is the one who writes "Pearls before Swine"?
<1> my score is at a knownlow right now for me too, sigh
<1> also, these peoplare are incapable of simple naming of functions. function called GetXXX that p***es an array list. do you expect it to populate the arraylist with data? nope. it takes the array list and populates a control with it. no state of the caller is changed.
<1> beeeeautiful
<1> peoplare
<1> haha
<1> people
<11> Let me guess, offshored code?
<1> i've threatened to post the entire source base to dailywtf
<1> Asriel, yep
<11> And offshorted for cost, not for talent
<1> bingo
<11> Shock, horror
<12> GetXXX downloads pron, obvious.
<11> Luckily, I don't get to see their code
<1> heh
<11> But the turnaround time is insane. And they claim to have done things they just haven't done
<11> We only got, 2 weeks ago, something I was repeatedly told was finished back in November
<1> well, this is 2 weeks from deployment, and half my bugs ***igned to me are "missing functionality"
<1> awesome powah!
<11> Well, you can go back to the PHBs with a nice "Cost savings via offshoring" breakdown
<11> Listing all the extra time it took to fix what they fubared
<6> offshore == India?
<11> yay, my copy of Shadows of the Colossus arrived
<1> philippines in this case
<6> Heh
<6> Never heard offshoring to Philippines
<1> we have an office there i think
<1> have an office in india too
<6> Its like outsourcing your house cleaning to UK
<1> i don't know how the offshoring works
<6> peterhu it works very well
<6> But depends upon whom you are getting it from
<6> There is no fancy offshore management theory involved. Just outsource it to the right people
<6> Not incompetent morons
<11> But then, you quickly work out that hiring the right people + costs of managing a team 6000 miles away + time delay == more cost than just doing it locally
<6> Asriel not true
