I'm I the only one who reads this as "I'm making a Piece Of Sh**" instead of "...Point Of Sale"? Every freaking time?! And isn't it ironic that point of sale terminals are often pieces of sh**?

"point of sale" was the first thing to cross my mind.

When it comes to software development I always associate 'POS' with 'Point of Sale', everywhere else I think of 'Piece of Sh**'
Though if you are making a 'Piece of sh**', talk to Ford, they're great at making crappy cars.
Just like the word 'fаg' means cigarette, but these days it's a slander on homosexuality. Just like 'Gay' is an alternate word for happy, but again it has to do with homosexuality (though I would think even if someone is gay, they'd still be happy with their lover just like anyone else so the word gay still half applies to it's original meaning)Quote:

To this day, I still think Personal Operating System when I see POS.
There are days, based on the quality of the posts, that I do see Sh** after "I'm making..." and other common subjects.
What about Point Of Sh**. Or Piece Of Sale.
SH**...So Happy It's Thursday
Beautiful, Intelligent Talented , Caring, and Healthy
Same here, especially since I'm developing one myself!Quote:
