muli: hey, my solution is worth at least what you paid for it 😉
coworker: it’s worth just as much as I paid for it 🙂

    Wow, that is extraordinarily rude. Do you have to put up with it? Or will the coworker be caught and put back in the zoo soon, d’ya think?

      Nah, you need to take it in the spirit in which it was intended. I’ve been working closely with this guy for the last year, and we know each other pretty well. He was being humorous, not insulting.

      Given the pid of a process that is still running, how do you find when it was started?
      (I cut it from the exchange because the actual question was related to some confidential stuff… but this is the non-confidential gist).
