That is so going to be my new favorite word. The only way this could be more awesome if this was the name of an app that turns everything you say into beatles-songs.
Norwegian wooden table?

@noitcif said:Never seen it and the pikiwedia article doesn't encourage me to watch it. Is it worth watching, or is it full of 'computery' stuff that the likes of CSI et alia include nowadays which would make it unwatchable? (e.g IP addresses like 375.281.543.1, or equally inane, jarring, stuff)Did you try love, secret, and sex first? I loved that movie when I was 12.
It was hilariously bad when it came out, it just gets more hilariouser as time goes on, stuff similar-ish to (from memory, can't be arsed to look it up):"WOW you have a nineteen thousand two hundred BAUD modem?" If I'm thinking of the same movie ya'll are.

I dunno, what's the etiquette in this situation?
Douches gonna douche. You aren't doing anything wrong. I always try to be fucking polite to people; but it does require a high tolerance to douchebaggery, just because of the sheer contrast in politeness sometimes. It's like driving (car analogy), you can be polite as you please all day long, get happy waves from people, but you're still going to come across the jackwagon that tailgates, cuts you off, merges without looking, then honks at YOU because you didn't get out of their way.

Okay, I've never touched ColdFusion, so I'm probably behind the times, but who the fuck thought it would be a good idea to code functions using XML (actually, I guess that's more HTML, since the cfreturn element is not closed)? WHAT THE FUCK?
Toth, how about functions that retardedly required their input to be strings. It's been a long time since I had to <cf, but it went something like <cfif "n gt 5">N greater than 5<cfelse>N not greater than 5</cfif>. The if parameters were a parsed string, instead of a boolean. I can't remember exactly if it was cfif or which one it was.
Flip her the bird, give her the nastiest insult you can think of, and put her on the mental ignore list.
I do think it's really nice how the side-bar drops to the bottom if the window is narrow enough.

That was a worthwhile post. You should feel good about yourself.
That aligns with my current mood, thanks for confirming!

Winamp is old school? Damn I'm behind the times. My kid isn't at "can operate a mouse" stage yet, so I don't have any feedback. @Zemm said:
@steenbergh said:Winamp will play itWinamp is old-school. Kids these days wouldn't know Winamp if a llama whipped their ass! iTunes annoys me: no "sort by path and filename" feature.
Here's an alternative suggestion:
Just ride it out. Are the pay/benefits decent? They're going to blame you either way, but they're just people that you only see at work. Transcend the blame, just brush it off and move on. Some projects fail, and it seems like the people you're working with are familiar with failure, so they won't be shocked or anything. If you think you'll get the blame but won't get fired, then you're fine. If you think you'll get fired, just sit back and relax, don't stress yourself, and put some resumes out now and enjoy watching it crumble.
Yeah, we all love working for smart people with smart coworkers... but how often does that happen? I love winning the lottery too... Only way I know of to increase the odds of working with smart people is to start your own business and only hire smart people.
