On: Today is Programmer's Day

[klon]

In Russia, programmers get the respect they deserve!

Not entirely sure I'd agree. The article doesn't mention that anyone actually observes it. I suspect the conversation is something along the lines of...

Programmer: "It's Programmer's Day today!"

Boss: "Shut up and work."

Programmer: T_T

Only, ya know, in Russian.

Програмист: Сегодня день програмиста!

Шеф: Заткнись и работай.

Програмист: т_т

[gojomo → klon]

In Soviet Russia, day programs you!

Let's hope capitalist Hallmark never hears of this 'holiday'.
