83

[Eerongal]

Ahh, my poor children.  After you graduate, hang your shingle, and practice your dark algorithmic art for a decade or twain, you will slowly come to the realization that computers actually run on the psychotic, rambling, inconstant delusions of product managers, project managers, and endless committee meetings; and also immense heaps of investment money owned by aged men in suits with IQs in the 40s.

Heh, ive worked in the field for right about a decade now, maybe just under or so.i graduated with an associates in 2005 (started working for a small company before i started college) and i'm going back for my bachelors starting this month

When I worked at UPS (about 2006-ish) 90% of my day was stuck in meetings, the rest was dealing with PCs, despite being an in house tech for the financial office. So yeah, i can see this statement being true.....

I actually prefer the one that goes...

There are 3 types of people.

Those who can count and those who can't.

There are also three tricks to being an effective speaker:

1) Be clear
2) Don't say too much.

87.  Is that it??  Are we remotely on schedule at this point?

[Miyabi]

GT - he has to do a lot of rewriting and writing.  He just did a huge section of editing and has just started writing new material.  I think he's on schedule, but instead of doing everything, then editing everything, he's doing both concurrently, so the amount of material done per material in finished product is moving slowly.

A shard of adonalsium has little patience for petty math or computer talk.

Well, in that case, I'd have to commend you for your advancement.  Being lost is a step up from being comatose.

I think not.





Get it?

Get it?

Mathematically, no.  But then again, you have no patience for that sort of thing.

It's a double entendre.... Never mind, if I have to explain it... it's not funny.
Back to the drawing boards!

[aronsamma]

I'll have you know, despite how unrelated it is, that 'double entendre' technically means 'to hear double' in French, but doesn't actually mean anything. I used it with a French guy once, and he had no idea what I was trying to say. It's just one of those misappropriated French phrases that we use because they sound sophisticated.

[Comatose]

That's interesting.  Well, 'to hear double,' is kind of close to words having a double meaning...
It's not like it's the first time our ignorant English ancestors got it wrong.  My taiwanese friend says that's why english is so hard to learn.  Not only do we break all of our own rules, we break everyone else's as well.
And if anyone got my little pun two posts ago, please let me know.  It would be nice to know I'm not entirely crazy.

[gt4431b]

Crazy?  I was crazy once.  They put me in a hospital.  I went comatose.  And then I died.  And incidentally thought not.

But then they put me in a box.  Boxes make me crazy.



Crazy?  I was crazy once!
