It’s in a room like this that I have overheard someone say, “If I come back in here and see this cable running across the room through the air, I am going to take it down and use it to strangle you!”. This usually gets the wiring organized in a reasonable period of time.

Ah charro, sadly this is true. But as I get older I have shed a lot of the geek in me.

The trick is to bamboozle influential people who are just smart enough to do their jobs but too stupid and/or ignorant to see the big picture.

…but then i think I took the posture thing too seriously. At times when we had to move around in uniform amongst “Normal People”, those around would try to ask me stuff via my friends, because they thought I was Russian. :p

(Same uniforms – just an attitude discrepancy.)

Typical. :p

All I’ve ever had to do in uniform is walk around, ride around in cars/buses/etc., and play in orchestras. The camos were less soft and cozy, and looked much less nice, and when you’re constantly “on stage”, that is kinda troublesome – you have to straighten up ‘cubed’ for it to be possible to see that your posture is decent. ;p

I don’t know, but I always prefered fatigues, then BDUs. I hated type of dress uniforms, except the TW’s (Khaki’s), but the army, in it’s infinate wisdom, got rid of the only good dress uniform.

Nope, camos are much more comfortable than dress uniforms.

Or the blue slurpees from 7-eleven.

Actually it’s two Gremlins cleverly disguised as Air Force personnel so they can screw up the server room so the Air Force personnel are fooked.

But surely they have other uniforms than the camos? From my experience, the dress uniforms are far more comfy than camos.

… But harder to get washed, of course. :p

But … At least I can imagine a “Quoth the raven: Nevermore!” comment for reaching the end point, end case, whatever you call it, in a recursion or for/while loop would work fine.

HAHA!

Programmer’s job security rule #1:
Never write any comments except for things like:
/* Function is obvious */
/* Works most of the time */
/* Recursion is cool! */
etc…

The Imperium of Man takes this concept off the deep end… Only one small group knows how to build or maintain anything and their own novices actually fear the machines.
“I know the secrets of the machine…”
“The machine spirits are willing.”

Why would you need full camo to do server maintenance though? Don’t those server rooms get really hot? I understand they have rules concerning the uniform, but this is more than a little impractical.

How can you tell from just the picture? They look a lot like ethernet cables to me, and those are fiber optic cables. You must excuse, my ignorance in this matter, I know barely anything about computers.
