What’s going on with the != stuff? Does this look like Arstechnica.com or Slashdot or some crap? This is not C++, this is LoS.

How does that further a point? It’s like saying. “So is so is the best at such and such. Period.” You totally did not need to write out period for two seperate reasons. Your punctuation was already appropriate, and you now added two extraneous periods for emphasis. That’s three periods which is an ellipsis, which does not make your point stronger just more ambiguous. ARGH.

Let’s keep this zone nerd lingo free, thanks.*

Good strategy. Play the sexual harassment card early and often. !=crediblity.

That sounds sexual, and now I don’t feel comfortable in this environment.

I am starting to wish PairOfSox would get lost in me.

My comment was supposed to be ironical. Or rhetoricish.

No, he’s “microsoft exceling” it up.

If he was a programmer he would have said != for does not equal.

Fixed. You thank.

Btw was that programming formatting or something? You trying to nerd up this joint or something?

Yes you can. But of course you would be wrong. I would still be right. That is how the overling/underling relationship works.

I’ve had Fooled by Randomness since 2001.

But if you’re saying it’s “recent” because it was recently released in paperback, then I can say any movie from 1920 released on DVD in the past year is “recent”, right?

By: Mr Juggles

Mr Juggles — Sat, 16 Dec 2006 20:09:17 +0000

We didn’t forget them but we focused on things that were “Recent.” So stuff from the past 2 years or so, rather than all time stuff. Only American Psycho doesn’t fit that criteria, but it’s included because Patrick Bateman is our idol.

You forgot about Wall St., Boiler Room, Liars Poker, and Freakanomics. I think they’re required watching and reading for finance.

p.s. I used to get people to sign up for Clap Your Hands Say Yeah mailing list, and help sell their t-shirts when they still played at Pianos and Rothko.
