Officer, someone said a bad thing about me on teh interweb!
Imagine all the real crime that's going to go unaddressed while the police chase down jackasses on Twitter and Facebook.
"Yeah, we'd like to get an officer out to talk with you about your home invasion and attempted rape complaint, but HamDogg2251 just insulted SpecialSnowFlake4550 on Twitter, so we won't be able to come out until sometime next week."
I know scanning the data from a yellow pages breaks copyright law, but using an army of typists to copy the same data from the same source is perfectly fine.
Exactly. They should have just hired 100 guys from a labor pool in India to do it, or used Amazon's Mechanical Turk.
Oh please, could you be any more ridiculous if you tried? Your example doesn't work, even as a half-hearted attempt to prove that a function can be made to do something it's not intended to do. I'm sure there are legions of programmers out there using trim() to find cube roots....oh wait, no, there aren't.
If you really think that "there is nothing fundamentally different from spoken languages in programming languages" then you probably don't understand either of them.
But your example was amusing. Now use imagecreatetruecolor() to connect to a mySQL database, and use strtolower() to write a text file.
What I attributed to you was a fair representation of what you said.
No, you deliberately distorted the meaning of what I said, and you know it. I never said "only", yet you keep insisting that's what I meant. It's not. Somehow you seem to think you know the meaning of what I wrote better than I did.
IPv6 allows you to be able to uniquely address every machine.
It's far beyond that. The IPV6 address space is so large that it's hard to comprehend. For example, IPv6 could provide roughly 5,000 assignable IP addresses for every square micrometer of the Earth's surface.
To put it another way, let's assume every single one of the 100 billion stars in the galaxy is inhabited, and each star has a population of 10 trillion humans in orbit around it, and each human has 1 billion devices that need IP addresses.
In that case, only 1/340,282nd of the possible 128-bit IPv6 addresses would need to be assigned.
Yeah, we ain't gonna be running out of IPV6 space any time soon.
There's nothing wrong in coding something in JS when it's appropriate. Some page effects can't be done any other way, and Ajax has allowed the creation of full-featured web apps that are the rival of many desktop apps. It's one tool of many in the box and it has its place.
PHP is full of warts but I love it. It's made me a boatload of money over the years and I've never regretted learning and using it. It makes my house payment (and more) every month. Hard for me to complain about that.
VB6...yeah, that one is heinous, no argument there.
You wrote, "There is nothing fundamentally different from spoken languages in programming languages."
This is completely untrue, even with no more than a moment's reflection.
You can't use a given keyword or function in any way other than the way it's programmed to act. But language is flexible, open to interpretation on multiple levels, and the meanings of words change based on their context, time period, and even location.
For example, trim() will always mean what it has been assigned to mean, and will always do the same thing, always. It's never going to find a cube root and it's never going to read in a file or make an if/then decision.
But the word "bad" (for example) has multiple meanings and can indicate completely different things based on where and when it's used.
Another example is the word "nice". It used to be an insult; it meant someone who was stupid or dull or ignorant. It's meaning has changed completely to the point where it's a good thing to say about someone. That's not true of the terms used in a programming language.
Also, programming languages follow very, very strict rules. That can hardly be said of language in the real world. Yes, there are rules to grammar, but they flex and change frequently.
Fine, have it your way: you got caught misrepresenting me and making shit up. It's nice to see you admit it. And then you started insisting it wasn't so, even though the thread is there for you and everyone else to see. You can dither and fuzz all you want, but your dishonesty is abundantly clear.
Yep. We all know people who are completely unsuited mentally for the job of coding or programming because they can't think their way through a problem. They may be good at doing other things but not problem-solving or coding.
Both issues have another opposing force, millenials. They seems to have a "I want it now" mentality. The fixation on handheld gizmos only enforces their ADHD and leaves them with the attention span of gnat. Agile only feeds the disease as do these gadgets.
I agree. They fondle their phones like lovers* and feel like they're marooned on a desert island if they don't have one within reach every second of every day. Many of them have ridiculously short attentions spans and are completely unable to escape from their self-imposed immediacy. They're like psuedo-zen creatures with cellphones, living solely in the moment.

*Except most millennials have never actually touched another human sexually because they're so socially awkward / retarded. It's like they have all the downsides of autism with none of the benefits.
NO, they have not "automated coding". All they've done is provide a layer of abstraction to some predefined procedure functions.
And who wrote that layer of abstraction? Real programmers working with actual code, that's who.
Can you program through a Joe Sixpack GUI? Maybe, but that GUI and all the shit behind it didn't fall out of a fucking tree. It had to be written...in code...by actual developers.
When Joe Sixpack uses this thing to write a medical billing program with a data warehouse and credit card gateways, let me know.
Just admit it, you got caught misquoting me and making shit up. The more you try to "explain" what you meant and why you lied and misquoted me, the worse you look.
You probably think Julius Caesar, Adolf Hitler, and Mohammed never existed too.
No, because people wrote about them while they were alive. They left evidence behind. People drew pictures and made sculptures of them while they were alive....none of which can be said for Jesus. It's almost like he never existed....
-
Listen, you don't have to believe he could do miracles, was the son of god, or was even crucified,
You're right, I don't believe any of that. Probably because he never existed.
How is this better or different from the single-step option of setting the WpadOverride registry key to "1"?
I don't know. Perhaps someone more savvy with WPAD than I can comment.

And since you say this "should work for most users", what users will it not work for?
As EvilSS mentioned, "disabling domain devolution is not necessary and will break short-name resolution on domain joined machines where NetBIOS and WINS are disabled". So I would guess it won't work for users with that environment.
You got caught misquoting me and making shit up and now you're thrashing about, insisting it never happened.
You're like Trump, saying shit and then denying it, even when it's obvious you said it. That's why everyone here knows you're dishonest and full of shit.
You forgot the flannel shirt, knit watch cap (optional) and a propensity for drinking Pabst while lugging around a record player. Yes, an actual record player like Grandpaw had.
WTF kind of hipsterism is this?? I have no fucking idea what this means. It's completely incomprehensible.
Wild: crazy, weird, unpredictable Abuse: someone got their feelings hurt or wallet bruised Allegations: he said that she said that they said... Taint: the part between the butthole and the fun bits. Indiegogo: some kind of gluten-free hipster shit candy bar or energy drink Helmet Maker: a guy that makes helmets, maybe (??) This is the only one I'm pretty certain of Skully: the chick on the X-Files, "I want to believe", "The truth is out there", etc.

"The Microsoft-owned service takes pride in the relationship it has with its users and the security it offers their data."
Yes, and slave owners in 1700's took pride in the 'relationship' they had with their slaves and the security it offered their profits.
I'll do you one better: Don't use LinkedIn.
That was my solution. So while everyone else is running around in hair-on-fire mode, my defensive plan is to have a sandwich and then take a nap.
Challenge accepted! Mind if I use QB64?

Coding in Javascript, PHP and VB6.
There's nothing wrong in coding something in JS when it's appropriate. Some page effects can't be done any other way, and Ajax has allowed the creation of full-featured web apps that are the rival of many desktop apps. It's one tool of many in the box and it has its place.

VB6...yeah, that one is heinous, no argument there.
Oh, so now you're denying that too? Amazing.
You misrepresented and misquoted, claiming I said things I never said. And you know it. :)
You deliberately attributed things me to me that you know I never said, so yes, you lied and misrepresented, and misquoted.
But it didn't work, and anyone can go back through the posts and see to lying and making things up.
You wrote, "There is nothing fundamentally different from spoken languages in programming languages."
This is completely untrue, even with no more than a moment's reflection.

You got caught misquoting me and lying, and your cries of "prove it!" show how you'll just ignore what's been said before.
You're a lot like Trump in that regard, which is probably why you're voting for him.
The problem isn't the languages, it's the people.
Yep. We all know people who are completely unsuited mentally for the job of coding or programming because they can't think their way through a problem. They may be good at doing other things but not problem-solving or coding.

This is so wrong it's clear off the x1000 scale of Wrongness.
"Has The NSF Automated Coding with ExCAPE?"
NO, they have not "automated coding". All they've done is provide a layer of abstraction to some predefined procedure functions.

Bet you can't prove it :)
Bet you can't disprove it. :)
Just admit it, you got caught misquoting me and making shit up. The more you try to "explain" what you meant and why you lied and misquoted me, the worse you look.
Get on with your life ,believe what you want to believe and leave this tired old argument in peace.
Take your own advice. No one is forcing you to read or comment.
You probably think Julius Caesar, Adolf Hitler, and Mohammed never existed too.
No, because people wrote about them while they were alive. They left evidence behind. People drew pictures and made sculptures of them while they were alive....none of which can be said for Jesus. It's almost like he never existed....
