I can't think of any rude four-letter words starting and ending with the same letter, save one trivial example, which titillates 10 year olds when they enter "9009" on a calculator and turn it upside down...and I've not heard of a Plan "9009" before.

This seems like the best guess so far, but I fail to see how it fits into Vivic's description of the word.
Vivic wrote: It is a four-letter word.
Check.
Vivic wrote: The first and last letters are the same.
Check.
Vivic wrote: it is the plan you to go to when your first plan fails.
I've never heard of going to plan twat. CCC regulars, please tell me how to stretch my imagination to make it fit.
Vivic wrote: The middle two letters are the reverse of the usual plan of action.
So the usual plan of action is "aw"? Again, I beseech the CCC regulars to unravel this mystery for me.
What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

It is a rude four letter word with the first and last letter the the same. That's all I need to hear. I now for the the third time, get to say...

Eh, what's that? I can't hear too well. Please repeat that a bit louder.

Did I say rude 4-letter word?
The word is the name for something that goes "boom". You got most of the letters right there.

I assume the word is 'bomb'.
Except .. so what? It's a bomb tournament? And?
Methinks there is something missing in the translation

Nothing is missing in the translation.
Should I go bragging that I won first place in this tournament, only to find myself in the databases of certain Federal agencies who are seeming answerable to none, was the question.

It's posts like these that remind me that I haven't missed anything by never having played Angry Birds or created a Facebook account.

Gmail was up and down all day today. There was a link on the error page that said: 'Show Detailed Technical Info'. I clicked it. Here is the 'detailed' technical info that I saw: 'Numeric Code: 5'.
Wow, that's detailed! Thanks Google!

Quote: 'Numeric Code: 5'.
But you misunderstand. Google is so good at writing code there are only 10 possible errors that could ever happen so the number 5 is plenty detailed enough. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

But wait...Microsoft System error codes go from 0 - 15999, so...ah yes, makes sense!

No, no - they have Extended Error codes as well, they ran out of space in just two bytes...

Friend: I don't think I've ever properly learned how to use an IDE well. I don't have the patience to read manuals.
Me: I like IDEs because I don't have the patience to read manpages for the CLI tools.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I just wish IDEs would implement the:
You just typed ctrl-shift-x - I have no idea what you were trying to do - select the command you want to bind to that...
That way I can just start using it and it will map the keystrokes I use to the commands I want to do...

That'd be nice. Instead we get Resharper's "You've pressed a combination that has both VS and R#er meanings. Which do you want to use?" while failing to mention what either shortcut is.

I'd forgotten about that in ReSharper (don't use it any more as company won't buy it & don't pay me enough to use my own cash!!

So for a year I have switched to and been working on Linux. What fun, nice, simple, predictable, logical, 'does what it says on the tin' kind of an OS. Been fixing all sorts of nasty kernel bugs, and generally having a lot of fun.
Now I have had to take a look at one of the firms Windows drivers, and I am trying to run it through the WHQL test kit...
What a pain in the arse the WHQL kit is. It is SO hard to get it to install properly. SO hard to get it to run properly. SO hard to get it to produce consistent results, that it reminds me exactly why I got totally pissed off with working with Windows; it has so many hoops to jump through you forget what you are actually trying to achieve and get utterly worn out and frustrated in the process to the point you feel like taking a claw hammer to all your Windows PCs.
Christ I hate Windows. It makes me want to puke.
Now I know why Mark Russinovich looks so knackered.
