Don't you think these jokes are becoming stale somehow?
You have to know how to tell them. It's all in the ....

The way you told it, it came over as stale. Maybe you'd
fine-tune the timings a bit, and tell the punch line ...
next century(*), for example.

When the "joke" is slanderous, "half-past never" is the most appropriate
time.

If you insist, though I think that result would be

A lawsuit? Damn tootin' it will be, if you keep quoting that crap in public.

Oh, and in case you're using Calendar for your
punch line posting program

Alas, Calendar doesn't have a setting for "half past never". Yet another
of its many glaring flaws.

Although I'm more interested at this point in invoking
processServer.serve(Person.getInstance(Person.MIKE_SCHILLING)); (and
co-defendants) if this continues for very much longer*.

A false accusation of academic cheating is a serious matter, far worse
than your previous tendency to simply call me names. You've all crossed
a line with your latest round of insults.
keep in mind that
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(2100,1,1,0,0,0);
Date date = calendar.getTime();
still carries with it a snapshot of the milliseconds of your
local time.

That makes two glaring flaws mentioned in this post, and counting...
PS: yes, I'm extremely in suspension for the gist, but
I'll be patient...

Yeah, sometimes those process servers take a while to find you. And I'm
not sure if the constitutional right to a speedy trial applies in civil
cases, either; perhaps it's only criminal ones. I know the right to a
jury trial applies mainly or solely in criminal cases.

The question remains, should I file in small claims and have an
excellent chance of making an example out of all of you, or file in
regular court and have a merely very good chance of wiping you out
financially? Or will you back off from having crossed this particular
Rubicon and thereby earn a chance to spare yourselves either outcome?

(Now sincerely wishing I HAD gone pseudonymous.)

* Note: Not a no-argument getInstance. Also note: probably tries to
enforce one-instance-per-name, for "scoped-singleton-like" behavior, anyway.

Windows can use the so-called "Alt code" method to type characters, at

Yuk.

As a last-ditch resort, there is always the Character Map or its analog
on other operating systems.

I'd have to use that anyway, to discover the "alt code".

Frankly, to properly spell an asshole's name that's given me no reason
whatsoever to give a shit about properly spelling his name, that's too
damn much work either way.

Perhaps if he'd been nicer to me, I would feel it worth the effort.

Let that be a lesson to all of you that your actions and rude behavior
may have consequences, even in this place, albeit mild ones.
And as a final note, the proper way to transliterate 'ø' is 'oe', not 'o'.

How fascinating. However, since I had not known that before, it is
certainly not proper to blame me for just using the letter 'o', given
that it is the most obvious approximation to use absent the sorts of
specialized knowledge I could not reasonably have been expected to have.

That is an insulting insinuation.

The answer is: nobody. I didn't have papers to write, in that sense.
I
had computer-programming assignments and related coursework. And for
the record, I was in university comp. sci., not "college". For my
humanities so-called "options" I picked the usual easy-low-workload
stuff -- no papers with references or other hard-core academic work,
just essays and even multiple-choice questions.

And it shows.
