Funny anecdote, I once had a CS prof who blamed K&R for all that was wrong with computers. I believe he said Kernighan and Ritchie were "dumb shits" or something equivalent.

It was at this point that I gave him an additional 10 Golden Stars on his Douchebag of the Year plaque. Through the course of the term, this plaque became quite full.

Also, if you ever need help with Linux or programming, feel free to ask.

Here's the idiot cognition that went through my brain when I read this:

No, definately the alternate dimension. I need to invert a tachion beam or something to get out of here.

Yo Jeff,

you can also let me know if you need any help with C/C++/python/ruby/perl/whatever other languages you mentioned in your post. I do things with C++ on a daily basis that would make you cry out of fear, and probably make doug jones vomit out of disgust.

Love forever and ever,
Derek
