Humor, jokes, and fun for programmers and consultants. The lighter side of programming and computer consulting.

If you are a programmer, I am sure you can relate to these rules for programmers shown below:
1. Any given program, when running, is obsolete.
2. Any given program costs more and takes longer.
3. If a program is useful, it will have to be changed.
As a programmer I know I live by these rules and I bet you can relate to them also.
Revenge of the NerdsBy: Jeff Kanew
In this movie the nerds refuse to let their nerdiness sentence them to second-class citizenship. They take matters into their own hands when the "cool" kids keep messing w/ them. Some well placed video cameras and some smart usage of "liquid heat" provide some very funny moments. Their general nerdiness will keep you laughing, too. In the end, the film's moral is that nerds are people just like everyone else. As Gilbert (Anthony Edwards) says, "No one will really be free until nerd persecution ends." More Info click here.
