Reminiscent of the nethack bugfixes; I guess any game that involves life-like elements is going to have bugs that correspond to amusing life situations.
Your comment reminds me of a situation years ago. It was photoshop or pagemaker about 10 years ago I think, my father showed me - every so often a popup was appearing saying: Warning, your printer is on fire. We never did work out what the text was supposed to read. It got patched in a later update and stopped occurring.
Seriously? It's the weekend, things are slow, we get some less VC/startup-related news. It's nice, it's funny, the community found it interesting enough to vote for it. Go away if you don't like it.
Strong words from someone who's had an account for about four months. Tell me more about what is and is not relevant on HN.
I'm personally all in favor of less VC-related news, but I would really prefer something more programming-related instead of retweets of reshares of Tumblr blogs. But I suppose that's my fault for not writing something better.
I actually looked at your profile before I bothered posting. I would've treated someone new a lot more kindly. As a senior member of the site and something of a thought leader (you've got a ton of karma), I hold you to a higher standard.
