the one with little talent and a massive ego.

Well, he came out with an all time classic the other day. We have a bug that's due to heavy CPU utilisation by some components that's causing resource starvation in another part of the system and leading to errors.

He says, "I am going to look at the system thread scheduler!" In a big and important voice.

You what? That's like 4 engineers discussing how to build a bridge, and one of them saying "I am going... to stop the rain!" (given that no rain = no river = no need for a bridge).


What a moron. Can you imagine the utter mess the system would have been in if he had even touched the scheduler?

Straw Poll

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
