Fact is, you wouldn't work for MS for any wage because you can't handle
the pressure and competition and the skillbase required to stay in such
a demanding environment.

It's a tiny car for college-freshman girls.

What's creepy is your weenie personality and behavior [1]

Riggghhht...
Incidentally, you've been developing for Windows for 20+ years straight.

"most"
You know and I know and everyone knows every line of code you deploy for
Windows helps MS maintain their dominance. At night you come to cola to
whine and lie about them.

You don't enjoy Linux enough to get a job doing it full-time, so what
are you blabbing about?

Fuck yeah I would. I'd work myself to the bone every day for that kind
of money... because I could take care of every family member and friend
I have, forever and beyond.

I can only imagine how bad your hobby code is, given that they won't let
you write production code at the office:
"And, frankly, the majority of the work our group does is requirements,
design and testing, not coding. The coding is a small treat, with
desirable (to the coders) features not getting done because of time
pressure. So those off-hours coding are when I get to do things the
Right Way -- my way!"
[1] Everything you always wanted to know about Christopher John Ahlstrom
but were afraid to ask
=========================================================================
Is he really pussy-whipped? Yes
"My wife used to dole out my weekly allowance, $20, and then quiz me
about where I spent it, as she didn't expect me to buy snacks and such.
She's a lot more tolerant now, and it took years of resistance. I can
buy a $120 UPS when I need to."
-------------------------------------------------------------
Q. "How much does a Mac with the same specs cost?"
Ahlstrom reply: "About three months worth of grovelling and whining,
'But honey!!!!!'"
-------------------------------------------------------------
"As I said, after 30 years of marriage to a woman who is not only far
more ethical than these trolls, but more intelligent and witty, and
funny, and fun to be with, and -- get this -- probably physically
*stronger* than any of these trolls, we've come to quite a sound
agreement about things."
=========================================================================
Does he really talk about pee-pees? Yes
"I am not worthy to wipe your pee-pee <grin>"
"Bailiff! Whack his pee-pee!"
=========================================================================
Does he really giggle like a schoolgirl? Yes
"Anyway, don't look a gift penguin in the mouth
<grin> <tee hee> <giggle>..."
"Oh my! <giggle>"
"Men giggle, too"
"I can't help giggling when DFS craps himself in public."
"How do we know /you/ aren't trolling? <giggle>"
"(Inane giggling issues forth from the Linonut.)"
"And here was the exchange <giggle>"
""Sound" advice, eh? <giggle>"
=========================================================================
Is he really 57 and still immature? Yes
"I refuse to grow up"
"Man I love Mad magazine"
uses "Billy Butt-Crust" to refer to Bill Gates
laughs at a dongle on a laptop as if it's "exposing itself"
Google+ quote used to be: "If at first you don't suck seed, keep on
suckin' 'til you do suck seed"
=========================================================================
Is he really an outrageous hypocrite? Yes. One of the worst.
"Windows is garbage", "Microsoft is evil", then he turns around and
develops only proprietary Microsoft\Windows code for 20+ years
"I've never bought anything but Windows laptops. For years now."
=========================================================================
Is he really a pretentious douchebag? In the extreme
reads cola with an online thesaurus open and uses big or obscure words
like amanuensis, lagniappe, ratiocination and stultiloquence. Actually
posted the word 'rhodomontade' to a Debian mailing list.
subscribes to New Yorker magazine
=========================================================================
Is he really a physically small dweeb? Yes
He and wife drove Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris, and Ford Fiesta autos
=========================================================================
Does he really admire Richard Stallman (who is skeptical that 'voluntary
pedophilia' is harmful)? Yes, very much.
"It would be an honor to attend a party and converse with him."
"I'm hoping my daughter is so motivated, forthright, and socially
conscious."
=========================================================================
Is he really a blatant liar? Yes.
Jul 9 2012: "Windows is garbage."
9 days later: "I don't lie, and I don't trash Windows"
"I wouldn't work for Microsoft for a billion dollars." (but he'll help
deploy Windows code for 20 years for a tiny fraction of it?)
=========================================================================
Was he raised to be a wimp? Yes
"I was not raised in a competitive environment, and I
would have wilted under Bill [Gates'] sarcasm."
=========================================================================
Does he really play soccer? Yes
"I'm 55 and still holding my own on the soccer field with people half my
age."
=========================================================================
Why did he use the creepy CB handle "Little Beaver"?
"Actually, it was my dad, who said that my friend and I, who were
setting up traps in his cars, were 'little beavers busily making
mischief, and they're going to be punished'."
=========================================================================
Did he really drop out of grad. school? Yes
(he admitted to dropping out of a Masters in Physics program because he
was "losing my mind")
=========================================================================
Is he a low-income IT tester and documenter? Yes
"And, frankly, the majority of the work our group does is requirements,
design and testing, not coding."
------------------------------------
"I make a sum that is satisfactory (i.e. "plenty") to me, and I
said so. But it is a relatively small salary by industry standards, and
rightly so, since I got into computer programming by a rather
round-about route."
(he's been programming since 1974)
=========================================================================
