Doctors and lawyers do give out free simple advice to friends and family if they want to.
I'd rather be phishing!

Oh I don't know, I wouldn't want to be called a nerd either.

The reason IT has developed so quickly and been so beneficial to so many is largely because if the open-handed generosity that many developers have when it comes to sharing knowledge.
It's one of the things I really value about the developer community - the willingness to share knowledge and help others for nothing.

I concur. As the lone programmer in a business with over 500 staff members, I could not do my job half as well without the very valuable and free advice of our Code Project community.

That wouldn't make the advice more valuable, just give it a higher price.
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Try telling it "F*** You!"

Not tempting enough to buy an iPad, just to tell it F* You...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Ah, Glasshopper, if you write reviews, you get freebies.
I bet they wished they'd looked at my review before giving me the freebie.

I don't do much of that kind of thing, because I don't like dealing with marketing morons (and my calling them that at every opportunity kinda dissuades them from asking me).
I got paid extra for that one, though, in return for a promise not to publish it elsewhere
I can bitch about the itoy as much as I like as "just a guy on the Interwebs", but I can't make the same statements in a formal publication.

What did it do? I can't find anything on t'interweb, but that's probably more a reflection of my google-fu than anything else...

It replied, in a polite but vaguely hurt-sounding tone, "Hey, l don't think l deserve that".
Gave me the biggest laugh I've had all week.

When I tried googling this subject - to find out what telling it to would do, you understand - it became rather obvious that yes, yes it could...
Apparently you can hook something called a "fleshlight" - which I assume is not a simple one letter substitution - to your iPad and download some app or other. It's times like this that make me glad I don't own any iProducts, and clearly confirms the general view of hipsters that do.

Hi Mark,
Haven't seen you here in a while. Welcome back!
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

Cheers, m'dear.
I've been off working* on a heavy project, that I promised to write twenty-odd years ago. Social niceties tend to go by the wayside, when you have to keep your head on another planet.
