Today is Prickle-Prickle, the 45th day of Bureaucracy in the YOLD 3167
WTF is this and WTF does it mean. I found it quite humorous. |  | Junior Member with 5 posts. | | Join Date: Sep 2001 Location: Here or there, depending on where you are coming from.... | | It may be an easter egg, joke code put in by some very odd programmer. We tend to do that a lot  . I wouldn't concern myself with it, but if you are really annoyed, you can edit the kernel and take the code out...

Hehe - Thanks for running across that - it's kinda cute. | | | Senior Member with 469 posts. | | | | Indeed quite comical!
I'll have to try it! I want to find the code for it, so maybe I can mess around with it!

I can't say that I ever heard of one. Programming (to me) is very exciting! Especially when it's an easier language (excluding ANY microsoft languages), and you can build apps fast.
I was watching "Blind Date" last night (I'm sad, don't tell me!), and one of the guy's was a programmer. The other guy was a graphics designer.

#11 | Can do it all...
...hmm, I'd like that. When you master C/C++, LISP, asm, PERL, and Python, maybe it's time to WRITE a language! Or better yet, an OS that relies on your language! Hard work, but if you like the guts of an OS, it's worth it!
