Comment Monopoly Spell (Score 2) 85

I wanted to murder Teams hundreds of times over the past few years. It's slowly getting better, going from F-minus to D-minus, but it still sucks the big one to Hell and back. Employees just eventually get used to its many oddities and flaws and learn to work around them.

The only reason so many shops use this P.O.S. is that MS bundles it with all the other MSware, making it a "really terrific deal". It couldn't survive in the market as a single product, even if open-sourced.

But the bundle "deal" is penny-wise-pound-foolish, because the total labor wasted dealing with its f$ckage is much more than the bundle savings. PHB's don't weight the labor waste into the judgement because it's not taken directly out of their own budget.

SharePoint is in a similar boat.

Brooks [is 98]. Does anyone really think that this will get done?

I'm sure he has an eager and creative staff; who wouldn't want a shot at such an opportunity? I'd probably do it for free! [1]

Mel merely has to provide guidance and let others do the details. And if by chance he beams up [2] to the Great Comedy Stage in the Sky, they'll carry on to finish it.

[1] I do have savings, but I imagine many in Hollywood are barely scraping by, it's not a well-paying industry for most.

[2] I hope he does a Wesley Crusher vs. Jar Jar fight scene. It can end with them having make-up sex, and then Jar Jar giving birth to an ugly hybrid human/gungan, who then dances to Gangnam Style.

Comment I hope he recreates the "Han (Score 2) 127

shot first" scene whereby Han and Greedo realize their first shot didn't do the job so take a second, and then a third, and getting frustrated both start mass repeat firing.

Smoke eventually obscures our view, and after several seconds the firing stops. The dust clears, and we see an exhausted & wobbly Han and Greedo barely standing among the ruins of a completely demolished cantina.

Realizing their guns are too hot to both hold & function, they toss them aside, and catch a breath. Then Greedo points to Han and says, "You shot first!". Han replies, "No I didn't, you did!", They then start a shouting match as the camera backs away from the flattened cantina to reveal the desert with nothing but their echoing arguments.
