This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

nmaps a good choice to hit when your manager walks by. Always good to have it run in a loop on a terminal you can quickly tab over to from YouTube.

I've been working for Microsoft for the last two years now and have committed maybe 250 lines of code in total. Ask Me Anything.

Nmap isn't encouraged where I work. I ran it once on a customer's IP a couple months when I first started here. The firewall interpreted it as an attack, and blocked us for 20 mins. Except we had a BOVPN connection to them, so 20mins never reset because it thought we kept hitting it. Since we needed to hit it to change the setting manually, it was pretty annoying to fix, though one of our guys managed about 5-6 hours later that night.

How long will Win 10 IoT be viable for gaming and home use?

Probably late in October.

Edit: misread this as "how long until"
