You can do anything with code...

So, I'm in this meeting yesterday and everybody turns to me at one point and says 'can we do that?'

Me: You can do anything with code. But, some things cost much more than others.

Everybody got the message pretty fast. 😉

I tried getting PHP to wake me up in the morning with a well timed sleep() command. Shame it overslept...

I am still working on getting php to serve me a hot cup of coffee every morning.

Let us know how that one works out 😃

If you've got a spare million laying around I can make it happen.

I wish I had a Clapper™ that was connected to my coffee maker so that I could clap my hands and get a perfect capuccino. Of course, good capuccino machines cost at least $5k and don't work electronically.

Very funny. At least you cheered me up for a few nanoseconds.

Yeah, but I'm totally serious!

Mmmmmm.... replicators. (Or, as I've figured, Bose-Einstein condensate holography; hey, since a laser is a BE-condensate of photons, so "ordinary" BE-condensates made of atoms can be described as "lased matter": you should be able to make holograms out of them. Holograms made of atoms - what would make them differ from the real thing? Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.*)

*This is not true: I think Earl Grey tastes like diswashing liquid.

And how exactly do you know the flavo(u)r of dishwashing liquid? 🙂

The magenta flavour/color is my fave!

Well, and the one that smells like pamplemousse/grapefruit.

(I haven't helped anybody out in Coding for like two weeks now...I should be shot for contributing such rubbish. Actually, I think it's 3.5 weeks now. Oi vey.)

Jees guys in this day in age there are such things as dishwashing machines.

I asked mine and it said dishwashing liquid tastes somewhat better than Earl Grey, albeit cold by then
