              pear programming
              (It's like pair programming just with fatter coders)
              Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

              No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

                  I don't mind either of those as they've both got positive connotations if worked right.

                  Programme Director while I was in Cardiff often showed up to some of the social nights that contractors and permies arranged, they became even more alcohol soaked when they were declared as "team building" and therefore fully funded
                  Been on a variety of discretely fully funded parties around Christmas, I will rarely turn down a free pint. Mind you I fully funded a team do last Christmas as they'd just relocated a sizeable lump of heaven and earth and they deserved it.

                    From that reply I'd just think how considerate and professional you were, never dreaming you were imagining me with an axe embedded in my skull
