Every year, Microsoft gathers IT pros and developers in Orlando to explain its current and new technologies to those highly invested in it. The conference is Microsoft's largest user event and covers a lot of ground.

Time To Talk: Hardware and Software

While software teams do an incredible job of ironing out functional bugs in all types of software—and even in fixing problems that show up in hardware after tapeout—they do far too little to improve the energy efficiency of their code. The software engineers say they don’t have the right tools to do that, which is a legitimate point. And the hardware engineers say that isn’t a priority for the software teams, which also is a legitimate point.

So, software developers are the ones who are really responsible for global warming? As a hardware engineer, I always thought that lot seemed a bit shifty. It all makes sense now; if the globe gets a bit warmer, they can all finally abandon their last vestige of personal hygiene and quit wearing clothes altogether.

And here we are thinking we are so clever and no one will see through our dastardly plan.

Curses!

I'm looking forward to shaving all our heads and wearing those judges' wigs like in the old days.

I just came up with this:

var rootadmin = !codeproject;

Don't ask why. I do not know.

EDIT: And I am "404 Not Found!"

public class SysAdmin: Employee
{
   public override void DoWork(IWorkItem item){
     if (item.UserType == UserType.NoLearn){
       throw new NoIWillNotFixYourComputerException(item.User as Luser);
     }else{
       ProcessWorkItem(item);
     }

   }
}

Are you Lord Percy?

Lord Percy Percy: I've done it, my Lord! I've discovered how to turn things into gold! Pure gold! Blackadder: You have? Show me! Lord Percy Percy: [takes lid off melting pot, and Baldrick, Percy and Blackadder are bathed in a green glow] Behold! Blackadder: Percy... it's green. Lord Percy Percy: Yes, my Lord! Blackadder: Now, look, Percy, I don't mean to be pedantic or anything, but the color of gold... is gold. That's why it's called gold. What YOU have discovered, if it has a name, is some... Green. Lord Percy Percy: [removes lump of Green from pot] Oh, Edmund... can it be true? That I hold here, in my mortal hand, a nugget of purest Green? Lord Percy Percy: Yes indeed, Percy, except that it's not really a nugget but more of a splat. Blackadder: Yes, my Lord. A splat today, but tomorrow, who knows, or dares to dream...

SysAdmin Jokes[^]

What's funny here is the color scheme. Looks familiar whilst still being awful. Only a sysadmin would think a hideous green background looks nice.
