In July of 2008 I opened a sarcasm tag. Others have been opened since then. I'd be surprised if any of them were closed. You've been warned.
Thought question:
How do we get people who suck less to run for political office?
And then how do we get the Stupid Party and the Evil Party to choose "electable" over "ideologically pure"?

This is my last red Chevy pickup, breaking a streak that goes back to 1982.
It feels like the idiots at Broadcom want me to give up in disgust and leave the VMware platform.
Just dealing with "what do I do with the license codes you just sent me" makes me want 2 start learning some rational VM platform.
The "support" pages are a disorganized hellscape
Pro tip for sales weasels - tracking down my non-work, personal cell phone number because I've ignored your calls at both my work numbers after telling you no is not creative or persistent. It's creepy stalker shit and will not help you make a sale.
