And when I implied he should have been beaten with a switch,
I meant a Cisco switch :-D

Speaking of technology...

I mentioned two technological advantages of Linux over Windows,
expecting a discussion from the guy:  early fork(2) behavior,
and TCP/IP.

Instead of discussing it, he just went on the attack.

I've also seen him ask a question in comp.lang.c that he
could have answered himself by typing on his Linux shell:

$ man size_t

I really, really, wanted to give him sh*t for that, but held
off because he was already receiving his just due of "WTF?".

He may be a competent Excel and Access programmer
-- and maybe even Python -- but given his old-fashioned
ideas, I suspect he may sell buggy whips on the side.

Finally, I once confronted him as being racist.  His response?
"Everybody's racist!  You're racist too!"

So he's ignorant.  Cunning, though -- don't turn your back on him.
