$50 to the person in the office who can keep a recruiter on the phone the longest using only Emacs Eliza.

I think you should take it to the next level and use the zippy quotes from psychoanalyze-pinhead.

Shame on Hacker News's audience that the front page isn't filled up with Dennis stories right now.

Right now 14 of the top 15 stories are about Dennis Ritchie.

Nietzsche isn't calling you a slave. He's saying that your morality is a slave morality. Meaning your moral system was invented by people who were, in fact, at the time, slaves.

How anyone feels about that is up to them. He mostly just wanted to point it out.
