For the umpteenth time, best to stock up on beans and water.
I have no room left to store anything with all the beans and water I already have!!!

I am seriously glad I won't be sharing a bunker (or even a cube farm) with you...

Or perhaps a gas turbine with afterburner?
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
I hold an A-7 computer expert classification, Commodore. I'm well acquainted with Dr. Daystrom's theories and discoveries. The basic design of all our ship's computers are JavaScript.

A man walks into a bar and says to the bartender, "Beer for me, beer for you, and beer for everyone who is in the bar now." After drinking, the man starts walking out of the bar. "Hey, what about the payment?" yells the bartender. "I have no money," answers the man. The bartender hears that and beats the man as hard as he can, then throws him out into the street.
The next evening the man walks again into the bar and says to the bartender, "Beer for me, beer for you, and beer for everyone who is in the bar now." The bartender thinks to himself, "The man can't be stupid enough to pull the same trick twice, tonight he must have enough money", and gives beer to everyone. After drinking, the man starts walking out of the bar. "Hey, what about the payment?" yells the bartender. "I have no money," answers the man. The bartender hears that and beats the man as hard as he can, then throws him out into the street.
One evening later the man walks again into the bar and says to the bartender, "Beer for me, and beer for everyone who is now in the bar."
In disgust, the bartender asks "What, no beer for me this time?"
"No," answers the man, "you get violent when you drink."

Your subject line pretty much gives the punch line away...

I tend to do that. But you won't know until after you've read the joke

Well, no. I guessed the punchline at "Beer for me, and beer for everyone who is now in the bar."
Would've been a solid 5 otherwise.

Includes the bartender.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Microsoft makes big noises over "new" ideas that are actually stolen from the Rails community. The benefits of TDD are yet again argued, incorrectly. People complain about the web and Javascript but admit nothing can be done about it. God, I'm getting more and more cynical every day. So, fair warning folks, the velveteen gloves are coming off!

Hopefully, that's to make room to fit the knuckle-dusters to protect your poor, aged, osteoporosis-raddled hands...

Watch it, sonny. I know that wasn't you I saw on my lawn, right?
Age and treachery.

Less of the "sonny" - have you no respect for us seniors?

If you're a good shot you don't need to worry about your aged hands...
According to my calculations, I should be able to retire about 5 years after I die.

Ah, but for that you want the gloves on. GSR and all that...

I'm not sure about 'stolen'...I used to code COBOL and Mainframe Assembly using almost the same ideas as in today 'modern' development ideas...
But for sure it has a bitter taste how Microsoft try to 'sell' ideas form the public domain as their great invention...
About JavaScript: I can't see that web developers are complaining about it - is a capable language...The fact is that web was sold as a quick development platform (which can be true), but true and powerful JavaScript need more learning, so most code is a bit clumsily...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)
