The D-Bags among us

The Arcade Fire - InterventionThe Douchbag of the Week Award goes to: annoying kid in my compilers class.
The highest of high honor is awarded to this slugmanhorse for publicly announcing his douchbaginess to the class not once but twice this week.
Exhibit A: The P423 message board. One student posted a clever pseudo-scheme program asking where the professor was after nobody showed up after 20 minutes; he even managed to pay homage to some of the greats in the cs department. Enter DOTW. He replied to this message with the following:
Your code will error... "variable loction is unbound" line 26 *or 26 newline characters down*
He obviously didn't get the joke.
Exhibit B: Thursday's lecture. After posting to the message board again asking if the assignment is still due on Sunday (to which no one had replied), he came to class to ask the same question. Dybvig answered straight-forwardly "yes," and this douchkanouch cockily said "ok!" and immediately got up and left the room. I don't have a problem with people leaving early, but the way this terdnugget did it was both rude and annoying.
So that's why this fagrabbit wins the award this week.
