People that ask you questions all the time


Recommended Posts

This might stop them from ever asking you a stupid questions again.

I'm afraid that won't happen.

 

As Rick Cook once put it:

 

"Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning."

 

Or to sum it up: make something idiot proof, and they'll make a better idiot.

 

"Googling" only helps people with common sense and motivation. 99% of humans are idiots, and that same percentage have neither common sense nor motivation.

Hmm I remember it as a quote from Douglas Adams, one of the detective books from memory... I'm gonna havta find the reference...

 

Ahh I was wrong, the quote I'm thinking of is:

 

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something

completely foolproof was to underestimate the ingenuity of complete

fools.

You all missed the part where I said 99% of people are stupid, right?

 

A good friend of mine once said:

 

"There are three types of people in the world. Folks are either:

 

a) Stupid

 

b) Fuckwits, or

 

c) Stupid Fuckwits".

 

Angry guy, but he made a good argument.
