Ah, sorry. Jumping the gun on Friday I guess, looking to get out of the office.
For what it's worth, I've always heard "could care less" but have always thought it's wrong. I say "couldn't care less" because it makes sense.
A similar one is "For Christ sakes," which is meaningless. What they mean is "for Christ's sake," but everyone always throws that extra s on there. Weird.
0) Are you trolling? If so, nicely done. It got me going, but I'm in a peculiar mood today, so what the hell. Here's some food.
1) You can say bullshit. There's no need to euphemize here. If you want to say bullshit, say bullshit. If you don't, say horsepuckey or poppycock. Don't be half-assed with your swearing, it's a style thang.
2) Your post, with all the "we"s and "us"s and "most people"s and "You clearly don't know..." is incredibly general and assumptive. All generalities are false, including this one.
3) You sound awefully sorry for yourself. It is this chest-beating and wailing over your fate that really pisses people off. Ever heard of a self-fulfilling prophecy? My guess is, if you went in to interview for a job, and you are the most qualified candidate, you'll get it. We've got a couple people with physical issues in our office, but they're damn good scientists.
4) I couldn't insult the people that I hang out with by calling them names if I wanted to. Wetback, Stumpy, Jewboy, Lardass, you name it we've called each other it. Quit looking for offense where none is intended.
5) I read a short sci-fi story a while back (sorry, can't remember who wrote or what it was called). Basically, the story was about a group of teachers sitting around and planning their curricula. They sat with a list of groups protesting said curricula. The Christians were offended by the ghost in Hamlet and Ophelia was offensive to women's groups, so they couldn't teach Hamlet. Anything that might be remotely offensive to anyone couldn't be taught in school, and so the entire educational system fell apart. Does that scare you? It's what you're heading towards.
6) I'm done now, I'm going to stop before I get offensive. Although I do feel much better now, thanks.
I obviously need to brush up on my physics. I read that description, closed my eyes, and couldn't remember a single word. There were probably some articles and prepositions, nouns and verbs, but I coudn't guarantee it. Might as well have said, "For cwedgy floomptorps now, wristwatches bedoggle one's crystal-o-morphix shindiggity. With extra bananas."
Why am I posting this, you ask? This article just looked like it needed a few more comments. Bye.
What's really funny is, it's still going up. It's at +4 right now. I mean, come on guys, third and fourth paragraphs (it's not even that far into the article!). I'm logged in. That means you have to trst me, right?
And that seems like the reason divorce rate is so high. Maybe I'm too new to this game (just engaged this summer), but if your woman would rather have a diamond than a chunk of glass, then sack up and make her happy. I mean, I saved enough for a 3/4 carat ring working retail at Home Depot while going to school full time and would GLADLY do it again just to see the look on her face when I opened the box. It wouldn't feel nearly as good if I were lying to her about it. In the case of an engagement ring, it's the first thing you'll be giving her as your new fiance. Don't make it a fucking lie, man.
Oh c'mon. You don't actually mean that, do you? Shit, do you drive your car thinking, I'll never actually have to use that windshield wiper, why bother kearning how to turn it on? When (if you ever have) you shoot a gun, you need to know the safety precautions you need to take in EVERY SITUATION, not just on the firing range-- shit backfires.
What does user input have to do with C++? The same it has to do with any computer system. Limited-scope people like you arethe reason buffer overflows exist in the first place. Everything you mentioned ( traverse a file structure, poll the registers on some hardware on your PCI bus, figure out the optimal way to use fuel to boost your satellite into a higher orbit or identify a potential missile target, sound familiar?) can also be done in BASIC or Fortran.
The truth is, if you had been taught how program correctly in the first place, this wouldn't be an issue. Please, go read a book. Thanks.
You can't say, "that book would make a good movie," it's like saying, "Hey, that painting would make a really good song." Yeah, one can inspire the other (a song inspired by Starry Night would sound much different than one inspired by The Screamer, for example), but they are not remotely "the same."
I'll eaborate, for those who are thinking, "But books have characters, and so do movies! And plots!" Let's look at the two I already mentioned because most people are familiar with them. Starry Night, from a composers view, might have lots of short, repetitious legato passages in the flutes (the sky, mostly blue), with occasional staccato interrupts by the violins (the stars, pinpoints of white and yellow). The woods and water would have to be much darker, maybe a bass or oboe playing something slow and understated. The city would have to be more structured and upright, probably represented by persussion, maybe a piano, maybe tympani. The ground serves as backup to the stars, and the whole work might sound a little abstract, there is no focus in the painting.
Screamer, on the other hand, is much darker. No flutes, that's for sure. Violins, playing minor scales to heighten the sense of fear; occasional pezzicato work above the bridge for that crawly sound Berlioze was so good at, to represent the tingles of fear the screamer is feeling. Low, dark sounds to represent whatever the screamer is so scared of. These low, dark sounds (maybe bassoons, tubas, cellos) play the melody-- because the subject of the painting is not the screamer, but whatever he is screaming at, which we can't see. So the low sounds carry the melody.
So, screenwriters simply do this same thing, going from a book to a movie. Whew, maybe I should put the beer down now.
It depends. Every (beginner's) book on C/C++ needs to cover what a buffer overflow is, what functions have traditionally suffered from them, and some better options. The also need to cover the importance of checking user input to make sure it conforms to whatever you expect. But you're right, it doesn't need to as in-depth as a book completely dedicated to writing secure code.
It's worse than that. There's only one word for people like this, and it's only proper that it's considered to be among the worst of the bad words. He's a cunt, plain and simple.
Thank you. I always forget "details" like that for some reason (must have to do with the fact that my AP Gov't teacher back in high school was also my offensive line coach and I ditched that lecture). I (like many others) jump on legal phrases like "innocent until proven guilty" so fast that they become cliche. Call it a character flaw.
But, as someone who is innocent until proven guilty, what right do they have to {spy on, steal from, stalk} me? Seriously, if you're going to back the "stealing is a crime" part of the law, you also have to accept that the alleged thief is innocent until proven otherwise. No one (without subpoena or warrant) has a right to that kind of information without consent.

Christ, man, if you're going to correct someone at least use proper spelling and grammar yourself. That just makes you look bad.
Sounds too much like my dealer's motto.

He hangs out with John Galt a lot.
It's OK, the shiny ass that wrote the article doesn't know what it means, either.

Sorry, got my Napoleon complex on there for a minute.
I see your point, though.

Um, Kirk left a bad taste in your mouth? Ick.
Stuff from the explosion banging onto the ship's hull might do it, though. Right?

Yeah, but I don't want to e the theatermonkey that has to clean the backs of the seats...

No, no, it was, "I will turn you into a behotch"

Ha, yeah, I've pretty much memorized the ingredients on the shampoo bottle. Not quite brave enough to read the toothpaste while I crap though.

Just answering AC's question. He asked for it, I gave it.
ur good at hiding trollz
