It's always the same computer, from which I never ever logged in. Nor have I ever changed my preferences on this computer here at home. Still, I get a random combination of the four options every time at work.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

I get the same type of thing on my work "net nanny" machine. Pretty annoying, but figured since I wasn't logged in, it was normal but unfortunate behavior. Especially since their proxies make everything about 10* slower, turning a decent machine into a f'ing POS.

Reminds me of a few years back, when a mate of mine asked if it was possible to use a program to calculate daily lucky numbers (I know some weird people).
For a laugh, I rattled off a proggy that went through numerous pages of stupid personal questions that I said were used in the calculation (my fave being "What size shoes do you wear?" and "How do your shoes feel, today? Tight | Loose | Just Right").
When they finished entering all the information, I printed a "lucky number" from a random number generator.
I got loads of feedback from him and his pals saying how accurate and useful it was, and how it was amazing that it worked so well and helped them so much.
Oh, and the most fun thing was that, although I saved all the details to profile .ini files (it was in the Win 3.1 days), I never read them in, so they had to fill out every page every time they used it.
I've never done any other coding during which I laughed so much.

So...you're laughing and they're going to the bank?

Hey, if someone gets a windfall and gives me (or, rather, a random number that I generated for them) credit for their gain, I'm OK with that.

I have always being fascinated with this. Coming from India, we are presumed to hate people from Pakistan. However, every single time I have met a Pakistani, it has been a pleasure.
I do not want to go into politics or anything else. A simple question:
As a normal Indian citizen, I have no hatred against any normal Pakistani citizen. Have you ever felt severe hatred against an entire nationality? If yes, why? And if not, what is the most ridiculous stereotypical hatred you are expected to show?
No politics and religions please. Straight up answers. If you want a discussion, we can always go to Backroom.

I'm pretty sure this will need to go to the 'other place'.

I know. But I guess, straight up answers posing opinions shouldn't hurt lounge.

How exactly can I research about your opinion?

Klingons, I hate Klingons. Other than that I get along with everyone else.

That's what the magic brownies are for to chill them out!

If you wipe once in a while with those lotion soaked tissues, you can loosen the Klingons before they get too tight around Uranus.

Hatred based on grouping is the most irrational and ridiculous weakness of the human condition. Unfortunately it is part of our makeup. In prehistory, it probably served us well, distrust of the next tribe over was probably not a bad thing for the survival of our tribe. We are also adept at grouping together against a shared enemy. It can be seen as a kind of "proof by induction" feedback loop. In today's society, grouping are not as easily defined as back then. It might now be sex, sexual orientation, race or even sporting teams.
When this hatred gets entrenched through generations it becomes almost impossible to break and membership of the enemy group is excuse enough for violence: Violence begets violence and on it goes. Fortunately there are many of us who are capable of rising above our baser instincts and there are usually laws in place for those that can't.
When I was young, the main race hatred in Britain was against black people, mainly from the Caribbean. "Indians" were respected (they weren't that numerous) and they were "from the Empire". After waves of immigration and escalating Muslim tensions that hatred was turned against "Pakis" and everyone from the Indian subcontinent was caught in the latest waves of racism, regardless of ethnicity or religion. Some politicians were quick to jump on that bandwagon and stir up racial hatred.
In my life, I've seen this same phenomenon in The Promised Land, Cyprus, Ireland, India, Australia, Africa, Eastern Europe and the U.S.. It seems my friend, as a species, we are doomed to continue committing the same mistakes.
Peace!
