What about Iron Man vs. Hulk? That would be a matchup!:)
From the trailers it looks like we'll see in the new Avengers. But the answer will be Iron Man in the Hulkbuster suit. As for the others, the whole premise is that Spider-Man is like a spider and can pick up MANY times his own weight, so I think you are underestimating his chances against the others. He may be scrawny but I always imaged him being able to go toe-to-toe with the Hulk by dropping a building on him or something.
Every time I think of Gamergate, I'm reminded of that scene in PCU where the protestors break out the blank placards and start writing the latest liberal cause-of-the-moment slogans on them. Some people are just always looking for an oppressor to blame for all their problems, and some cause to give their pathetic lives some meaning. And being the drama queens they are, they feed on any criticism as further evidence that they're being oppressed.
I'm confused, are you talking about the GG or the anti-GG people? Maybe that's implicitly your point and this is just a good example of one of those first world problems.
Fair enough, you and GP make some interesting points regarding a conversation but ACs can sometimes make some interesting standalone points/posts IMO (that doesn't necessarily warrant a reply though). I was just curious...
My understanding is their market capitalization or whatever tanked after Elop and, although a well-known brand, they were really struggling -- Elop just buried the dagger and shamelessly sold them out (figuratively and literally). Your advice is valid though, I think smaller companies have never benefit long-term from a close partnership with MS.
Microsoft has in the past complained that Google Inc., which manages Android, has blocked its programs from the operating system."
Haha, cry us a river Microsoft. I'm all for an open platform but this investment is just step 1 of their embrace, extend, extinguish operating procedure. What's that quote about how smaller companies should NEVER work with MS?
I said that as well ("Both sets look synonymous"), but if your non-programmer was told 22 div 3 and 22/3 each did different things, while 22/3 and 22/3.0 did analogously different things, which set would they correctly understand?
I'm not sure I understand what you're saying at the beginning about a "bad" compiler because the outcome should be 7.333333333333333 as expected. If you meant, (int)22 / (int)3 then that makes more sense that you would get 7 because of truncation. Especially if for some bizarre reason the 3.0 was immediately treated as an int (because of the 22?) and you got 7 unexpectedly. Erring on the side of int->floats seems far less dangerous than float->int conversion in math operations because only an experienced programmer would even want/expect a 7.
Wow, I hope you're not suggesting 22 div 3 vs. 22/3 is more intuitive to a novice for what it does compared to 22/3 and 22/3.0! Both sets look synonymous but if someone told you/me that the first and second of each were different I think the second set is MUCH more clear. **HINT: there's a decimal point in the second set, so it would be natural to assume the return value would have one as well -- no such luck on the first set**
Step 1: Embrace
Step 2: Extend.
Step 3: Extinguish.
Step 4: Profit!
I think this brings us between 2 and 3, which is not the greatest news for open source R.
Maybe some of the programmers who worked on that page could fix this mess? Yeah it's far from the greatest page in the history of the interwebs but it is more functional than this one. I'll bet its administrators are more responsive to user feedback as well.
That's because this site is just designed to feed clicks to their real bread and butter. Now keep clicking over there peon.
Well, if you're billing hourly you can probably craft your own damn curly braces from scratch, and profit, but you're probably ripping off your customers by doing so, and you risk being forced out of the market by the guy with the site generator who can knock a zero off your price.
My emphasis. This is exactly what the OP is running into and he/she sounds like a buggy manufacturer in the age of automobiles. However, at least they recognize they need to finally learn some new tools after becoming too expensive for their clients if they want to stay in business. Hence the lazy Ask Slashdot question. I say "lazy" because they just need to do their homework since only they know what their needs are.
"Very few places" here being slashdot, youtube, reddit, twitter, and pretty much everywhere else on the internet...
You can't get modded into oblivion on 4chin, just drowned out by the sea of other people shitposting. It's more like the old days of/. where everyone browsed at 0 with the GNAA, hot grits, goatse, etc. except turned up >11.
I agree but unfortunately/. (or more specifically Dice) doesn't care about usability (have you seen Beta?), they only care about page views/eyes on ads.
Yes, Beta looks like ass. However, I serendipitously discovered recently that Beta is the only way to view slashdot on my mobile and for some reason it browses comments at 0 or below. The "happy" consequence of that is that I got to see more of the trolls than I'm accustomed to on the classic site through my computer, and I didn't know the goatse and gnaa trolls were still around. That fondly reminded me of the good-old days of shitdot.
IMHO a Greasemonkey userscript would be one way* to allow users to more easily avoid BH posts completely and help get the message to Dice that we don't want these steaming piles of elephant shit.
* I'd be happy to consider other methods such as native plugins or whatever...

You can't extrapolate complex issues like this.
Why not? There ARE researchers looking at these issues because it's increasingly well-known that parasites can influence their host's behaviors.
Different people have radically different digestive systems and tolerances and metabolisms; that's the bottom line.
That's partly the point, apparently a big part of the differences in digestive systems is the balances and type of gut bacteria we have.

Couldn't remember and google was no help. Let me think more about the context I read it...
Notice: If you post anonymously do not expect a reply.
why not? anyone can register a /. account and there are plenty of sockpuppets around here.

Don't mind him. Just sounds jealous to me and didn't realize there was other good opportunities outside his myopic bubble.

This guy looks like they're on to something.
tldr;
Surely something could be done with GreaseMonkey, but /. should just fix their site so we don't have to install extra crap to make it usable.
Hey Bennett! Can you tell us the pricing terms to use /. for your own personal blog? I might want to get in on the action.
Why is this modded informative? It is neither informative or even interesting. I guess mods are back on crack like the good old days.
When was the last time you saw President Obama anywhere, without a half Marine Brigade protecting him . . . ?
What's your point? How many assassinations, or attempted assassinations, have recent leaders of Germany experienced?
Or are they referring to a cartoon?
From TFS: "Batman: The Animated Series", so yes.
