Got a new boning knife (http://usasharp.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/boning.jpg[^]), so I cut up some chickens for tomorrow barbecue. Now I have fingers with bandages all over and every time I hit the keyboard I press two or more keys...
I can't even touch my phone.

(Unco) developers should not be allowed near sharp objects... Myself included!!

I always near sharp objects - my fellow developers

The sharpest thing I use is c# and believe me, there are days when it's as blunt as a seed drill.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

Back in the day when I was a Boy Scout, we were required to prove that we could handle an edged weapon before we were allowed to carry one. Earning the Tote 'N Chip card was an honor that few held; I had one before I had my First Class Scout badge. Maybe it's time we instituted a similar training and certification program for casual cooks and apartment renters...

Did you at least manage to remove your finger bones? All that suffering's for nothing if you didn't.

So everybody else is taking the high road, regarding this gentleman's new boning knife?

Please, don't put such things into the news when I'm drinking a beer. Here wasting good beer is a capital crime and I may also need a new monitor.
We are talking about the same electronics junk that they have been predicting to gain intelligence by an act of god any minute for at least the last 100 years? Someone has been drinking too much Cool-Aid.
It's really insulting to claim that one of the good old 'plant in a pot' algorithmic morons could be more intelligent than any of us in a few years. And then this:
Your smartphone will be able to predict your next move or your next purchase based on what it knows about you. This will be made possible by gathering data using a technique called "cognizant computing".
Good luck. Have I already told you where to put your spyware, your spam and your databases?
Edit: And now I also find this one: What makes Java developers more productive? That's easy to answer: Learning to program and changing to C++

This is obviously wrong. I don't own a smartphone, nor will I own one in 2017!

Same here. Could it be that we are smarter than a future Smartphone?

Invasion of privacy would be more like it.
When I go to the mall I get those people at the kiosk that are real aggressive and when you go by they're all over you. If I want your freakin product I'll stop at your kiosk and look at the junk you've got otherwise leave me alone.
Now consider that your cell phone is linked into the matrix and every store you pass or go into you get a "Hey we got this POS on sale and it's just what you need and/or want so come on in".
I'd give them a piece of my mind but I';m afraid it's the last piece?

A number of years ago I developed a technique that has proved exceedingly effective for dealing with aggressive telephone/mall marketers.
I simply and calmly ask them "Do you advertise?" The response is a unanimous "yes!" I then ask "Do you have phones at your business?" Invariably, after rolling their eyes at me, they again respond yes.
Then I ask, "What on earth makes you think I wouldn't contact your company if I had any interest whatsoever in the products/services you have?" I don't remember ever receiving an answer to that question.

I'll have to remember that one!

I recently posted a Quick Question, which I thought was plainly understandable. I received some comments to which I was tempted to write a somewhat biting reply, but then I thought I'd better hold my tongue and check...
Is there something about my question (see below) that doesn't make sense? Can you take it in some different context I'm not seeing? Are my comments on the comments reasonable?

Yeah, he seems to spend a lot of time telling people he didn't understand their question...

There is someone - no names - who accuses people of "cheating" in QA - not sure what that means, hadn't realised it was a competition. However, have spotted tonight that several of their solutions have been edited a couple of times ... add a letter here, remove some bold there and such ... guess that's a good way to up your points in the game ... if it was a game. Which it is not. etc etc
