Well, to be fair, did I give the impression that it was supposed to make sense? Nevermind. Change my statement to "there are 2 types of people in this world: those that understand Hodor's incredibly insane sense of humour, and those that don't." Rest assured that most people fall into the latter group of people and sometimes, on rare occassions, even Hodor falls into the second group (as paradoxical as that may sound)

I've made jokes founded on such obscure references my subconscious supplied "That was stupid; no one is going to get that; you don't even know where you got that.".

As we said in the preface to the first edition, C "wears well as one's experience with it grows." With a decade more experience, we still feel that way.

Gotta admit that I'm a bit dismayed by the lack of dongle and finger jokes. Not to mention root access.
Sorry, Hodor, but my sun crashed ;)

Ah, another victim of sexism; the person who got fired. Some feminist gets offended, someone loses a job.
Our masters are usually the best source of humor. Knuth has two of my all-time favorites:
- The one where he writes something like "Beware of bugs in the code. I just proved it right, I didn't run it"
- The one about miss-attribution, in which he wrote something like "Any inaccuracies in this index may be explained by the fact that it has been sorted with the help of a computer".
I admit I didn't read to the end, because I just assumed it was just the same story as so many others before it. Glad to see this wasn't the case. And reading the whole thing to the end was rather uplifting. Not so much for the matter of "justice" (like you, I find it hard to to see justice anywhere in this story), but because it ends up pointing fingers at the real culprit; the internet propensity for emotional escalation.
