as manifested by the fact that you cannot edit things were they are seen by users but rather must work through a back panel.
You click the edit tab, which gives you direct access to edit the page. I don't know how much more direct you want. It's kind of a logical fallacy to say "edit things [as] seen by users". Users cannot edit, therefore you cannot edit *and* see things the way the user would.
Yeah, I hear you. I keep expecting the words I write to auto correct. I also double click on web pages now, expecting it to zoom into the closest div like it does on my phone.
It's internet shorthand for "I'm a fucking idiot and don't have anything particularly intelligent to contribute, so I'll post something snarky and meaningless and hope that someone thinks that I'm cool. Oh, and yeah, whatever that dude said."
It is not in hopes of receiving pity. It is out of love for my wife that I bend over backwards for her. If she needed my heart for a transplant, I would gladly give it to her. I love her. That's not an emotional feeling. It's an action.
Does she feel the same? If so, then congrats. You've got the real deal:-)
Men and women are completely perfectly equal... as long as they stay in their place, dammit. Is that what you're trying to say? Well fuck you and the horse you rode in on then.
Allow me to let you in on a secret here: most men go mushy over the new baby too, they just don't have the balls to admit it because people like you have stigmatized that sort of behaviour. And the idea that men are better leaders is absolute bullshit. In a lot of ways, I think that women are better leaders and decision makers simply because they weren't raised from childhood with the idea that they've got to have the biggest dick around.
Your second to last paragraph about unconditional love is pretty good though, so I'll retract the fuck you. The sexist pighead insult still stands.
Single people are alright but they have completely different priorities and if you hang out with them all the time you are pretty much saying to your significant other that you want to be single too.
WTF?
Maybe if your idea of hanging out with single people means picking up floozies at the bar. Meanwhile, in the real world, the type of person this imaginary friend is matters a hell of a lot more than whether or not he or she happens to be humping the same person every night.
think that's the way it's supposed to work. Some of them have to literally be retaught.
You know, I don't necessarily disagree with you... but goddamn do you come across as an arrogant condescending cock when you say things like that. If I were you, I'd re-evaluate some of your own personality traits. I'm going to take a wild guess here that you spend a lot of time "teaching" your wife the "right" way of doing things and feeling.
If I'm mistaken, please accept my apologies for making assumptions. Just realize that this is the impression you make.
In fact, the entire human civilization has progressed so far only because of the rare geniuses who discovered/invented new forms of math, science and technology.
No, we're where we are because of the rare hardass motherfuckers who have what it takes to make something of a good idea. Remember the 99% perspiration quote?
This is why most good programmers will stop contributing to the global community because there are those who will steal their work, pass it off as their own, never acknowledge or give credit, and then shamefully stick their head in the sand and ignore the consequences.
Save your editorializing until you have stats to back it up. My impression is that the people who take their ball and go home like you suggest aren't that great for the community anyway.
Your last sentence was the only part of your post that was really relevant to the discussion here. The majority of what you wrote should have been an "oh, by the way, your examples were wrong too" addendum.
So maybe the examples he chose to use weren't the greatest. That doesn't invalidate what he's saying. Why don't you address his real points instead of nitpicking?
(yes, I know, you're a nerd with Asperger's. That's why nerds never get anywhere, they can't help getting bogged down in minutia. Go ahead, wank on about the lower-case y.)
The CSA does not block access for non-windows devices (else how would Tivo/xbox/psp/etc connect?) His school may require him to register a MAC address as a non-windows device, or using a Linux box may *just work*.
Yes, my school (wsu.edu) did the same thing. I had to register my MAC.
You fail at life. Or at least at reading comprehension.
Currently, GamesByEmail.com uses some 80,000+ dice rolls for play in games like Backgammon, Gambit (a RISK clone), W.W.II (an Axis & Allies clone) and others. To generate the dice rolls, I have used Math.random, Random.org and other sources, but have always received numerous complaints that the dice are not random enough. Some players have put more effort into statistical analysis of the rolls than they put into their doctoral dissertation.
A few years ago I tinkered with a dice rolling machine made from Legos. Though great fun, it was noisy and cantankerous and unreliable, and it never recovered from the move two years ago. But it had made players happy, at least for a while. So I decided to make a 'professional' grade rolling machine

Yes.

Perhaps you should do some research before making assumptions. There is a huge difference between pragmatism and ideology. Learn it.
You obviously don't know much about Linus to include he and RMS on the same side of a licensing issue.

I think this is the best comment that I've seen on here all night.

No offense dude, but you're a sexist pighead.

An even better answer. "I'm thinking about what my life would've been like had I married the other woman. Damn, am I glad I married you."

Read it as "elevate the role of images." He's using the word as a collective noun.
Well, that would be reasonable and they're not a reasonable bunch.
Never mind that your ad would probably be a hell of a lot more effective.
