Maybe you could go fuck yourself?

I guessed that was the meaning a long time ago, but it's just amusing to read it literally.

I'll be upfront in admitting that I loathe C++ just as much the next guy (I can't seem to get away from Lispy languages), but isn't this being a teeny bit ridiculous?

Wait, what? EDIT: This comment literally says "usually if you think you know something, you don't." So I guess I shouldn't apply for a job using language FooBar, since by this guy'…

If they can't be bothered to run the PDF through a program to translate it to HTML, and then post a link to the PDF version, I don't want to do business with them. If their menu is…
