tony could u pretty please with sugar on top: cut. the. fucking. bullshit.

crap like this says tony is a self-important teen who knows next to nothin' but has an opinion on everythin'. among other funny comments: on compilation speed or on processor speed or on #define or on. well shit. pretty much everything he comments on. like any teen he thrives thru the attention given. so the more replies he gets the more annoying he comes.

but the one on "designing" n coding for months without ever compiling. gotta be involuntary funny post o' the year.
