I know this is completely off topic, but I had to respond.
I thought this poster was making a funny. I don't think
anyone would say something like this unless it was a joke.
The tone is way too sarcastic for that.

Um, this wasn't even a reasonable response to Annamaria's
posting. OMG, what is wrong with some people? Oh, and BTW,
it's peace, not piece unless you're talking about one of
the body parts buried somewhere by those maniacal
programmers. Yikes.
How I wish I had some virtual mace for some people.

Didn't you know that back in the 50s, before IBM and UNIVAC
shoved their PC crap up our wazoos, convicted murderers sat
around in dark basements, tables piled high with
dismembered corpses, while architecting the technology that
today we take for granted?
Engineers teamed up for cross-country killing sprees,
producing a vast array of body parts as well as products
that fueled today's IT revolution.
Piece!
