    Hate to break it to you, but we live in a time where most IT is run by idiots. Does not surprise me in the least that they use Windows.

  13. Re:Revolution (the TV Show) on Movie and TV GUIs: Cracking the Code · · Score: 1

    Actually some compilers(*coughgcc4.7*) in some instance will compile a missing semi colon. They assume the next line is a continuation and funny things happen.

    This comment made me facepalm on so many levels. and then you even mention the Dunning-Kruger effect in your sig, wow.
    Protip: If you have little to no understanding of C, don't try and make supposedly intelligent comments about it. It will not work.

  19. Re:You keep using that word on Author Says It's Time To Stop Glorifying Hackers · · Score: 1

    Nice try, but no. In this (IT) context, we simply use "Hacker" as short for "Computer Hacker".
    In a woodwork-related context one might use it as short for "Wood Hacker", or whatever.

    Your analogy doens't work, because no meaning was changed.

    Since the "majority" has not a faint idea what hacking is, or was, i refuse letting them assign new meaning to words they dojn't understand.
    IOW your argument is stupid.
