Oh, Ada Lovelace.
I knew that name rang bells... 
(But not SFW ones: do not google Linda)
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I keep trying to find Linda, but all I can find is Mark Felt[^]. 
Go on, you know you want to click it! The link is perfectly safe. It doesn't even feature Nick Cage or anything!

Bad link?
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Yup. Some magic happens when pasting the link

These facts are clearly wrong! The first integrated circuit, the first computer and computer programming were all invented by Al Gore! 
How do we preserve the wisdom men will need,

FTFY - just to help with your otherwise excellent English.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Thank you very much for this, this helps me really a lot. My "otherwhise excellent" English is a mixture between google and instinct/feeling 
Yep "shovel" also surprised me but I thought Google does know it better .

Because classically, we devs have been considered sane, normal people, by the wider populace.

You've posted it in the lounge, and there's nothing less productive than that!

LOL, you'd think, but OP surpassed that by re-posting the exact same content in a new thread. He is a legend!

I bow to his non-productive greatness!

Laughed my ass off at this one. +24

OTOH, he managed to post the first one 53 minutes after the second one.
Inventing and using a working time machine sounds rather productive to me.
I suspect spam-filter shenanigans.

Trouble is no one can pronounce his name. He'll just be Opie here I guess

I'll just call him "Yog-Sothoth".

Or is it C# code (again)?
