What's so funny right now?
Could also be the program being un-optimized so it thrashes hard trying to fetch data, doesn't know how to gracefully handle failures in dependent processes - say a driver crashes and it just waits for a response that will never come (ok, showing ignorance on driver interaction here ). But definitely something to read up on on my lunch break

What's so funny right now?
From some study a decade ago, I recall most people waited 9 seconds before deciding that the program/PC is hard-locked. One handy thing to do is hit num-lock, if that doesn't toggle the light then the PC is truly is hosed. Though, I suppose in practical terms it can be long before that.

What you did today
Battling a cold the last couple of days (HOORAY for coworkers that show up to work with disease ), so my weekend was pretty much a waste. Almost have it licked, have a 'productive' cough which is pretty nasty but good, I guess. Sure have slept more in the last couple of days than I have ever done so. Almost a shame to go back to the regular working routine

What's so Funny?
*insert a teacher jab here* https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Liberation_Front_of_Corsica Ah yes, reading wikipedia makes us all experts on everything. I do like the insinuation that teachers are supposed to know everything on everything. Why would I be well-versed in Corsican politics, exactly? Because you are an unthinking libtard. Well or that's essentially what he'll bark at you with

Or it could have been mislabeled by the researchers, or were undereported if they were minor or....I swear to God I can't tell the difference between the politics thread and the funny thread. That is true, we don't know the source, but I'll assume it is somewhat accurate and I just had an idea that the Years of Lead were more widespread. The politics in this thread is funny though, in how forced and laboured it is.

Kind of hard to work that into slang (which will then go on to the dictionary). I am hoping grep will one day become regularly used, is catchy (sort of).
