During the industrial revolution in the UK thousands of manual labourers from all over the country (although I believe it was most often Ireland) worked on the canals and railways. They were known as Navigators.

If you intend to drink and drive, make sure you have a vehicle.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Saw this on BBC news this morning: RoboThespian / Videos | Engineered Arts Ltd[^]
I'm not sure the name is really accurate - it can't act for toffee - but ...
It's still a better actor than Nicholas Cage.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Depends on how you view Nicholas Cage's acting

I try to avoid viewing it at all, if possible.

Over the last few days when I start Skype it pops up a message saying "You MUST ugrgade. This version of Skype will not work after.. " or something to that effect.
So after waiting to the very last possible minute I finally updated.
Now, when you start Skype a SECOND process called SkypeBroweserHost.exe starts. You then get to see rotating ad banner in Skype.
MS ACTAULLY BUILT IE INTO SKYPE FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF PUSHING ADS.. Ya, like I'm gonna buy whatever stupid product you're hawking because I saw it on Skype.
I have been tossing around the idea of writing my own Skype replacement... Here goes.. F**K Skype!
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.
