One of these days, I should set up a windows VM on my 'nix box for situations like that...
But they never call me 
I feel so unloved... Well, unscammed... It's been years since I had the opportunity to really mess with a cold caller... Always too tired or busy to have an entertaining chat...

I remember getting a phone call from someone with a heavy Indian accent claiming that my Windows computer was hacking into their computers.
I simply said - "That's impossible - I own a Mac"
*** Click ***
They never called back. Another scam for something.

I expected something like this:

if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

The video goes on far too long[^], but it seems a good view into "disruptive" startups (at least my outsider's view).

Since I saw this in "DZONE WEEKLY" today:
"I started my career as a Software Engineer, and today I am very happy to be driving our company AdroitLogic. Since we are bootstrapped and lead by engineers..."
...I've been cogitating on the various (mis)spellings and meanings of the words pronounced "led" and "leed"
Perhaps we can all remember the correct spelling with a sentence or two:
If you lead by example, some will allow themselves to be led, but others will remain immobile, as if they had lead in their britches.
Something leads me to believe that Led Zeppelin was Live at Leeds. No? Then Who? ...that went over like a lead balloon, I reckon.

If a meaner mistaken in spoiling by a very bright prison who happens not to be a native Anglish speaker wets your appetite, you may need to adjust your psychoactivity mastications.

Every time I see your new name, I think of long holes with roads going through them. Am I suffering from Karel Tunnel Syndrome?

No, you're thinking of the frustration of travelling with cow-orkers every day: Carpool Tunnel Syndrome.

This reminds me of the Caldecott on (U.S.) Interstate 580 in the Northeast region of the San Francisco Bay Area in California.
The Caldecott is the name of the artificial underground passage w/freeway bore thru the mountain to provide quicker passage.
This one dude was trying to experiment with travelling to work with others of us in our vehicles on a daily basis, but kept freaking out whenever we would enter and go through the Caldecott.
After a few times of observation, I was readily able to assess him as having:

Fascinating as usual.
Today, in office, we had a discussion on Olber's Paradox[^]. Why is the sky dark at night, when in fact, we should see light everywhere at night - essentially sitting in a "bowl of light".
I still don't think I understand the answer to this.
