You got to remember though most of us have been doing this for years on here. If you come up with something too fiendish we will just spend 5 minutes on it and give up and wait for the next days. Theres a fine line between being too easy and being too hard that people won't bother.

Hi,
Got into work as I caught the train just. Turned PC on muttering, made a coffee, sat down to read the missives I haven't seen. Going through the usual cr*p I come across one marked 'Water', Due to an issue we can't drink the water (with out boiling...) this has become an issue as email refering to water usually mean the roofs leaking again.

I remember visiting one customer who had a sheet of bubble wrap tied to the ceiling over his desk to carry water out the window when it rained ... didn't exactly inspire confidence in their ability to pay bills, this was their technical director's office ...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Ah confidence: maybe, real question is did you stand on his desk to pop some bubble wrap bubbles?

It's commendable to keep working after the company already went under.

Hi all,
I remember several years ago a codeproject article from 1 Apr featured their new "Server Farm" of Pocket PCs.
I would like to use the image from the article for a prank in our company regarding the current discussion of security leaks thru speculative execution in modern CPUs and that older CPUs are not affected.
Does anyone remember the year, the article showed up, and maybe post the URL here?
Thanks, Dieter

No, that's not the one 
The once brought an April's Fool article on 1 Apr.
There they had a picture of many many Pocket PCs in racks, claiming that was their "brand new" Server Farm

I must have annoyed somebody - my spam count has gone from 300+ per day to around 10. Perhaps it's more to do with the holidays being over. Either way, happy not to have to trawl through a huge pile of rubbish just in case a genuine mail got marked as spam. Happy days.

Did you sic the Simmons on them? 
(That's one step above siccing the Pournelle on them. )
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Which reminded me how much I enjoyed the Ringworld[^] series. Going to order a new copy and read it again. Thanks!

I read that 4,153,237 people got married last year. Not to cause any trouble, but shouldn't that be an even number?
I find it ironic that the colors red, white, and blue stand for freedom until they are flashing behind you.
