Like a Russian ICBM going wild and exploding in Redmond? ;-)
<non-serious> Well I wouldn't mind that much... as long as the warhead is equipped with a capable EMP device, and not an atomic bomb - there are rumors that non-MS-heads live in Redmond, too, and you don't want to harm them... </non-serious>
Despite my distaste for Microsoft I can't say I'd like to see anyone physically harmed. There are, however, some punishments I wouldn't mind having visited upon certain individuals at MS...
1. Steve Ballmer - make him do his "monkey boy" routine at a joint conference for behavioral psychologists, primatologists, and modern dance choreographers, and then force him to listen, gagged and bound, to their analyses, critiques, etc.
2. Bill Gates - should be forced to learn to code in something besides Basic. For a truly cruel twist, make the "something" COBOL.
3. Charles Simonyi - should be required to write 10,000,000 times "I will use type-revealing names" on a blackboard the size of a barn. (For those who don't know, Mr. Simonyi is the inventor of "Hungarian notation", the system of prefixing variable names with type information, which I have found objectionable from the day I first encountered it).
