As per the article:
*4. Children were encouraged to sniff markers? That explains a lot.
*8. My wife has these kinds of pens for her to do lists, but apparently I keep breaking them
*9. I downloaded a torrent of Bill Nye for my kids. Go home school!
*10. I've been to that park, it's in Virgnia.
*11. Corn? Mustard for an unsalted pretzel? Some sort of fruit? Is this what children eat? I assume that's pizza or maybe lazahgna
*13. What is this?
*14. Who is that? What's he waiting for?
*16. Library?
*17. Practice for parachuting?
*19. I've bought cosmic brownies before at the store, way better than the ones with bitter nuts on them. Why the hell would anyone put something bitter on a brownie? Why not just wrap them in old socks and store them in work boots since we're being disgusting? I feel like things like that, potato salad, cole slaw, etc only exist from a time when people smoked so many cigarettes they couldn't taste anything.
*23. What are these blocks with the holes?
*28. Some woman in an office I used to work at had these, even with all the tips they still pushed in, so useless.
*32. Heads down, thumbs up?

Willing interns? So I take it the captured POWs used last time didn't work out?

Yeah, lipo is far more dangerous than li-ion. I'm not sure why they even got used in laptops.

They say lipo is dangerous, but I just can't seem to lose the weight.

What exactly does your internship cover? Just software or is there hardware involved?

:Like I said pretty sure it was @thanksajdotcom. But whomever it was THANK YOU!! I love it perfect fit for my office !

No other replies, I guess I'll take it from here.

You're welcome.

Now bestow grace upon me and reward me with the land and peasantry I require for my indigo plants. Things just haven't been the same since the last uprising when they burned all the fields.

Dont remember most of that. And software with a GUI/colorful computers? Heck no. We had typing class but, it was on the old green terminals. You know, when print screen actually printed the screen to dot matrix printers.

Tell us more about your days as a pioneer grandpa, is it true you had to get your legs amputated because you shared your floppy disk with an infected computer? Didn't they teach you about safe computing back then, or was it "don't compute at all?"

(God I hope this makes sense)

(F moderated) yeah, I use them!

This censorship is a (f moderated) tragedy.

If no one else ever takes credit for it, I'll take credit for it.

I've never seen an enterprise shop that allowed compiling. Or if they did, it had to be done by a security controlled team and then deployed through normal means (RPM, DEB, MSI, etc.) I've never worked anywhere where compilers on the boxes wasn't a "no no".

That's true too, but my own point on that subject was that the sysadmins needed to at least know how to actually do it. There's nothing that beats a tool which will automatically get all the dependencies and everything.

@Dashrender said:

I've felt this way about different programs, O/S's before, but the reality is the masses, even the higher use masses don't care about compiling (I'll admit, I don't care about compiling) they only want to download the app and move on. It's the primary reason that people like you and I have jobs, because we are the ones that need to understand how to compile when the regular downloads don't work.

I'm not one of those pretentious-Stallman-level jackasses who thinks manually downloading and compiling is the only way to do it and not doing it that way is wrong. My point about that thing was that people in IT who need to learn how to do these things get set back by never learning to do them in the first place. Apt-get is convenient as hell, I use it, just like I use the ports collection on FreeBSD instead of fetching everything I need.

However starting from the point of sudo and apt-get, from what I've seen, these people don't really ever learn to properly use Linux/Unix without taking extra effort, because I guess there's an assumption that sudo and apt-get are normal, when they're not. I said "regular people don't really need to know about sudo or apt-get" as well, because they really don't, there are GUI tools to do all that too.

IT people need to know beyond that though, especially if they want to consider themselves Linux/Unix competent at all.

I'm at least 10x sexier than he is.

What is that?

@scottalanmiller said:

My desk today. Yes laundry.

You idiot, you use a washing machine for that, you can't download software to wash clothes.

@scottalanmiller Depends on the company, a lot of smaller ones steal software like crazy. BTW I do agree with all you said on this, I'm just being a jerk

I'm talking about things like MalwareBytes and RealVNC that are free for home use but not for commercial use.

Quit and report them for me. I won't work for crooks and I feel it is everyone's duty to turn people in when they know that they are stealing form others. No different than telling the cops where the shoplifter ran off to.

Usually I'm the shoplifter though!

@MattSpeller Most medical software vendors make me wonder how they stay in business with such crap, but then I realise it's a niche product, so...

How'd you get my picture, wtf!?

I work for the NSA

Impossible, my junk isn't in it

Licenses like that always make me think it's a sort of challenge, where I think "try and stop me!" But I actually don't use much that isn't open source, and that's not by some sort of choice, it just ended up that way.

I use them all the time in work email. Been using them since the early 1990s so they seem natural now. I expect to see them in work email.

Ditto. I don't see it as unprofesional, but I don't do too many when I email people professionally outside of work, but sometimes I will do one if I want to make sure the other person knows something is said in jest or not sarcasm, or something like that.
