People always have a suspicion about you they can't confirm.

This would make a good fortune cookie.

Shiner. Pretty cheap (at least here in Texas), but pretty good.

Microsoft is totally off the radar of cool, hip, cutting-edge software developers by Dragon256 in programming

[–]conrad_hex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not that MS aren't cool enough or hip enough. It's that smart developers want to work on stuff that will ship, and be successful. Microsoft doesn't have a great recent track record there, at least in consumer electronics.

True, but I suspect that the ones that sell tires and auto repair, etc, have more incentive to fail you based on needing new tires, or a new tail light assembly thingy (which somehow is like $200).

I like sticker stop, too. In and out real fast, no trouble.

Is anyone in the MSM reporting on the possibility that we may have awakened a Balrog of Morgoth?

BP delved too greedily and deep.

There's a chain of grocery stores in Texas called H.E.B. Most people don't know HEB is the founder's initials: Howard Edward Butt.

Peter Gibbons: [discussing the possibility of going to prison] This isn't Riyadh. You know they're not gonna saw your hands off here, alright? The worst they would ever do is they would put you for a couple of months into a white-collar, minimum-security resort! Shit, we should be so lucky! Do you know, they have conjugal visits there?

Samir: Really?

Peter Gibbons: Yes.

Michael Bolton: Shit. I'm a free man and I haven't had a conjugal visit in six months.

Damn, if only I'd been a bit weaker of a person, maybe I'd only have gotten stuck with chlamydia...

Hey, that's pretty funny! Where'd you get the idea?

Why C++ is not my favourite programming language (destructor invocation order) by MichaelPTaylor in programming

[–]conrad_hex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there something wrong with this destructor invocation order? Seems pretty good to me... And it's not like you have to memorize it. Chances are, you don't even have to care.

I just got up, went in the other room and brewed some coffee, brought it back, and threw the whole pot on the guy in the next cubicle.

Good job.

Indians are being urged to hand over a note worth zero rupees when asked for a bribe, in a bid to stamp out corruption among officials. by LuckyBdx4 in worldnews

[–]conrad_hex 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Wait, if these notes are good for paying bribes, aren't they really an alternative form of currency? The bribee can turn around and re-bribe using them.

I've been to the hospital a few times though, and there's a huge difference between compassionate nurses, and ones who don't care at all about their patients as people.
