    I used to use this exact method to show people that open wifi is bad, I can just copy/paste the captured Set-Cookie:s from the header and paste them into my browser's cookies.txt and voilla I'm using [website] as them. This was 10 years ago.

    I'm sorry. What does touch typing have to do with coding?

    I use google voice for everything, I don't think anyone knows my real #. I created a contact "Telemarketers" (photo is of a pile of poo) that are marked as "Disconnected" whcih means anyone in that group gets the "doo-dahh-dee. I'm sorry, but the number you have dialled is no longer in service. Please hang up or dial your operator" announcement on loop.

    Ugh. Seriously. I can only see headlines at first on the mobile version. I can't even bother to expand all the stories to get the synopses.

    I came here to post this, ever since I was issued a 16:9, the task bar didn't make sense taking up precious vertical space... I keep mine on the left as well, leaving me a larger workspace

    Careful, what people consider sexual varies culture to culture - you're going to start a future where everyone masturbates to the video.

    Looking at the bas source, I'd say its a rudimentary basic that translates to assembly(opcodes) pretty directly... kind of like macros.

    That wasn't spoofing, that was just a secondary texting/phone app. Like google voice.

    It's probably only because they market it as a toy. Just change the target and the will be back (18+ "Highly toxic art", perhaps)

    To be fair, maybe he cups instead of encircles (I.. ahem.. know something about this...). If the thumb is parallel to the other fingers, it could be interpreted as "a a a a a ..."

  20. Re:because - on What's To Love About C? · · Score: 1

    ...I still don't particularly like C, mostly because I find the syntax clunky. Specifically...

    * Semi-colon line endings are stupid--they serve little purpose besides making compilers easier to write

    It's more than just for stupid compilers, otherwise a newline would serve that purpose as it does in other languages. Sometimes I like writing multi-line single statements (e.g. a function call with huge parameter count) and not have to conversely write a special character to denote a line continuation after carriage return.

    * for (...;...;...) syntax is less intuitive than eg. VB.NET's "for a = 1 to 10" or numerous alternatives

    Perhaps if you limit "for" to linear iterations. I kind of prefer the "for (init;true;post) ..." format as a clearer "init;while(true){...;post;}"

    * declarations are unintuitive (and complicated; see post above for example)

    True, #define, typedef, standard declares mix me up sometimes.

    * I'm not fond of curly braces--I like Python's indentation better

    I'm with you on this, if you want everything on its own line.

    * Why make logical operators symbols instead of words?

    The same reason mathematical ones are symbols, I suppose. It was logical ;) Real-world match actually uses symbols for logic as well.

    * operator precedence can be unintuitive

    There is a PEMDAS going deeper to include logic. Use parenthesis to make it stupidly clear if unsure.

    * = vs. == causes bugs (many languages have the same trouble though)

    Only for those coming from different-styled languages. The = as both a value assign and zero/nonzero check has come in handy many times, and shortens code both visually and compiled.

    * comments (//) use two characters instead of one

    Can't argue that. C and SQL are the only langs I can think of with double commenters.

    * switch's use of break is worse than eg. Ruby's case statement with commas

    (I have other issues, like disliking how many mundane details you have to specify in C compared to other languages, but you need a language like C for certain tasks and it'll need lots of mundane details to translate almost directly into assembly anyway.)

    What's wrong with the break statement in switch? I like the comma listing cases over multiple stacked cases.

    Perhaps OP just wanted to initialize post with "first" so later on the post could be re-pointed to another string "rebuttal".
