I have their "The Good Earth" album from 1974 and it is nice for a blast from the past.

The guy you want to blame is called Ken Kocienda, apparently: I invented autocorrect[^] though MS had it in Word in the 1990s, long before Apple developed the iPhony.

I wonder what autocorrect tried to change his name to, until he (probably) decided to just hardcode a special case for it...

Getting his name right was probably the only reason he worked on it.

also not so pleasant when ![Beer | [beer]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif) comes backup
then again once upon back when young and stupid it made room for more to go backdown
now old and grumpy doesn't happen often, only because it's a waste of carrots

Bug?
By adding a small amount of seaweed to the programmer’s feed, researchers found, they could cut bug production by nearly 60%.
and thus better then 60% less bugs as the number of bugs is proportional to the number of lines of code squared.

It works as well!
Almost as soon as companies start feeding developers Laverbread, 60% of them leave the company and take their bug production with them.

I had some yesterday. But I'm sure the effects will have worn off by the time I get back to work on Monday.
On the other hand, I'm unlikely to write any bugs before then.

I liked it enough to let youtube run through some of their other tunes, which I also liked, then along came this outstanding prog track!
