I was just asked to balance a Binary Search Tree.
Is that a sobriety test? Maybe he’d been drinking on the plane.

This reminds me of an incident from ~25 years ago: A black, dreadlocked man had been standing in front of a Beverly Hills residence, waiting for a friend to arrive. Someone in the area called the cops who then brought the man in even after he explained that he was a lawyer who was simply waiting for a friend there. This part was actually shown on local TV: The lawyer had to explain his presence at the residence to a judge, this in order to get released.
Pretty much the same thing happened to a black TV producer (also in Beverly Hills) a couple of years ago.

Thank God they didn’t come across the term “hashing collisions” or they would’ve had him on both drug importation and terrorism charges.

Can this man demand the current hourly wage of his job for having to do dumbass programming tricks for yahoos who likely wouldn’t know a do-loop if it bit them on their shiny metal ass?

… and this interesting tidbit from your wiki link:
“Gates stated that relations between him and Crowley are [now] amicable. He also revealed that he asked Crowley for a sample of his DNA and interestingly enough, he and Crowley are actually distant cousins and share a common Irish ancestor.”

I’ll bet Crowley’s colleagues would still arrest Gates on his porch though.
