Tech Humor

Some humorous things that I've decided to write down...

Office Signs

I found this one hanging above the printer at work one morning:
This ream of copy paper was provided
courtesy of the Help Desk.

As a sign of our gratitude,
all phony support requests
should cease immediately.

The Case for Error-Detection in Code

A few cases for error detection in your code:

• A NextBus.com arrival time sigh at Rutgers University that was constantly scrolling "Next A Bus in NaN minutes" "Next B Bus in NaN minutes" etc.
• The status bar at the bottom of this screen... how infuriating... and even worse, this was a while ago, and I needed use a friend's Windows box just to use the support feature (of course Ebay won't give you a phone number)...
