Microsoft insider on why Microsoft sucks (and rocks)

Yep, that is certainly possible. Reading through their comments and seeing them frequently reference their "experience in the industry" as effectively a citation raised a red flag for me though.
It is not entirely inconsistent though, I didn't find any where he said he was a carpenter to substantiate a claim about what wood plane is the best brand, so if he is BSing at least he's keeping it fairly believable.

My signature is a wavy line which sometimes gets a shorter wavy line added. It's also rarely similar to my other signatures.
-
Mine has too many of one of the letters in the last name. If my name is anywhere near spelled correctly, it wasn't me.
You know you're on TDWTF too much when you are fishing for a spellar/gramming nazi flag IRL? :P

If he has been working at MS for 15 years, how was he working at an AAA game company 6 months ago?
Microsoft Game Studios?
My wife has 3 long names for her full name in her drivers license, but she normally only signs her middle and last name because she doesn't go by her first name. When we were signing the house papers, they told her that her signature HAD to match and have all 3 names
My dad normally goes by his middle name as well...which makes life entertaining when he has to interact with the federal gov't (which is rather often, as he's both a military vet and a retired civilian Federal employee).

As far as everyone here is concerned, this is my signature:

It's more arty than something cryptographic…

Years ago, I read a story on one of the humor sites that's now long gone (I think it was thespark.com) about someone trying to see what he could get away with in terms of signing on scanners at checkout counters.
I started signing a single straight line on those about 8 years ago. I estimate I've saved 4 hours over that time period by doing so; unfortunately I haven't accomplished anything of value with the extra time.

You don't own a house then. That takes several hundred signatures.
Mine was about a dozen signatures and a BILLION initials.My signature is basically a scribble. Never identical.
My initial actually has letters in it.

This reminds me of those little computer screens the transporter guys from e.g. DHL ask you to make a scribble on.It happens that those guys step in the office with a package for someone that isn't here today. When I tell them so, their response is mostly: "no problem, just sign a little cross here".
Fine validation indeed...
I can't remember if they asked for a name last time they passed by, I've since managed to move to another desk further away from the entrance.

My name has way too many 'n's in it, so my signature eventually became a sine wave.
But signatures simply aren't the assurance of identity that they used to be: They change over time anyway, and in the modern era of digitisation, far too easy to replicate.

I worked retail for far too many years, having to sign every third piece of passport the register dollar out at me that my signage became just
P[line connecting the closed loop of the P and extending right and up until i lift the pen]Replacing then it's in the square brackets with what the text describes... Just to head of pendants.
