Comment On Hail to thee, O WTF University

Though our time at WTF University this week was brief (especially compared to its unfortunate students), it was certainly fun and educational. To remember our experience at this great school, I present the WTFU Alma Mater, by Chris Conroy (refrain by Devin Goble): [expand full text]

O WTFU we stand on guard... For thee!

O WTFU we don't care about our own security!



The real WTF is that you forgot these two lines in the Alma Mater. ^.^

Don't you mean "77 to NaN"?  And if they lose to Rutgers like that, how would they fare against VT?

Would there be an overflow error?

<not_real_opinion(meant_for_humor(Jeff S! (;-P)))>
Yup, all coded in VB, because VB sucks. It's totally not usefull for anything ever. It also instills really bad programming practices in it's users. I'd go so far as to say it's the worst language ever, and unjustifiably over-used. VB coders are what is wrong with the world today. Why do you think most if not all of the major WTFs are coded in VB? It's because people who program in VB just generally suck at everything. It's a POS that was jumbled together over many versions, having major features change with each new one. I even heard that they are intoducing the keywords AsIf, Kinda, SortOfLike, Aint, and AintNo. So, instead of doing "If Not bleck Is Nothing" you can now do "If bleck Aint Nothing".

Sort of somewhat on the topic of incompetant programmers, a techie-type friend of mine has a theoretical way to weed out people who claim they are more qualified than they really are:


When someone claims they are an expert, have them sit at a table, give them a minor technical problem (in their field of expertise) to solve, then make them hold a spinning circular saw (guard pulled back, blade down) in their teeth. If they can solve it before they lose their grip, they are qualified. If not, Darwin wins.


It may not be practical, but the interview process would be so much more entertaining.

No need to bother posting my own opinion,  I'll just post someone else's.
  • The tools we use have a profound (and devious!) influence on our
    thinking habits, and, therefore, on our thinking abilities.

  • It is practically impossible to teach good programming to students that
    have had a prior exposure to BASIC: as potential programmers they are
    mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration.


  • Projects promoting programming in "natural language" are intrinsically
    doomed to fail.

Do you mean ogling?


def: To stare at impertinently, flirtatiously, or amorously.


I bet she's some model in LA that will eventually be shat out of the bowels of the porn industry (quoting Seinfeld there).  She certainly sucks at foosball.  Technique is horrible .. she's looking right to the defensive side of the table (she's on offense it appears) yet her dudes are perpindicular to the table.  If her defense took a good shot, she might block it with her players, or perhaps her dangling left breast.


Perhaps you should join the Cambrian House and find out!

Frankly, I think I'm one of the only guys who is NOT entranced by her image. I'm not gay or anything, just... her goofy-ass look, and the "cleavage" is, well, uh... is it really even considered cleavage? When the guy mentioned the "left breast", I had to go up and look at the image again because I didn't remember seeing anything special, and still maintain that there is nothing special... Not that she isn't "pretty" or anything, just... not the most flattering of images.

Man, i CANNOT get over that look though lol. Just say to yourself in your head:
"Daherrr, get da ball in da hole. Get da ball in da hole... YAY, I make da spin man hit da ball!... oh no... ball went in my hole..."

You see, I am seeing a lot of posters here mention the foosball girl until I finally decided to check it out. Since my browser blocks the Sponsored By section, I checked the site in another machine and to my surprise... Actually, I am quite disappointed...

Maybe because of the popularity she has here, I expected much.

I'm not saying that she's isn't pretty either, but I don't think that much skin would caught my attention right away...

Well some of us Grew up in the repressed Midwest. Further, as you might guess from the content of this site, some people do not have the ability to find porn on the Internet. (Seriously, I do know someone who cannot find Porn on the internet. At least he is smart enough to stay away from computer based jobs) To these people, pictures like the one under discussion are hard core porn, and very exciting so long as mom doesn't walk in.

Don't you mean "77 to NaN"?  And if they lose to Rutgers like that, how would they fare against VT?
