In all fairness to those of us who don't code anymore we'll have a shoot out (at a target of course - preferably a dead PC - because it is hard to replace good IT people) with our tools of choice. I choose my 1911, you can choose which ever keyboard you want. ;-)

I was thinking more against the lines of HP vs HK, XP vs XD or 2000 vs 1911 but the same premise. Of course, with RAID, hot swappable drives, multiple CPUs and Failover, the HK might get a run for it's money. Of course if you just don't shoot at all, it will eventually die/crash on it's own, but that isn't near as much fun. :twisted:

All of us gun-tote'n-compu-geeks need to work at the same place :cool: . I wonder how long it would be before someone felt threatened by a computer and had to apply deadly force to "stop" it. :twisted:

Yes, we will all have to get together and have a "professional geek" shootout (not at each other of course - we'll use "users" as targets).

APowell

Oops, I guess I should have done this earlier, but better late than never.

Age: 35
Gender: M
Profession/school status: Data Modeler (computer stuff) and working on FFL for on-the-side
Marital status: Married
Years CHL: working on 1
Carry guns/equipment: Colt Combat Commander (HydroShocks) and Kimber UCII (Gold Dot for Short barrel .45)

Other info:
My wife is still waiting on her CHL to be approved.
My 6 yr old has his CtHL (concealed toy handgun license - It isn't unusual for him to have 2 or 3 hidden on him somewhere).
My 2 (almost 3) year old tells people "my daddy shoots bad guys". (I can't seem to break him of that.)
My -5 month old (due in August) is making my wife tired and beautifully large.
Also, I'm who put the M in PPM. If it weren't for me she'd just be PPW. (decoded: I'm her son, not her husband) I'm also not sure why still still calls us her son's "little" family when there are 5 of us and we are all taller than her. ;-)
