Playing devil's advocate, if I search "database redblack c#" isn't "redblack c#" the context in which I'm searching database? In other words I don't want to see articles that only contain the term "database", no matter how many Kardashians are also mentioned.
I realise it's embarrassing to Google, as keeper of all human knowledge, to say "0 results", but I'd LOVE to be able to confirm that was the case sometimes.
Agreed, and agree with TFA. It's like "you entered a word starting with K, did you mean Kardashian?" these days.
Search for what I typed in the fucking box and keep your suggestions and corrections to yourself.
Google search is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to software doing this sort of thing. I can't stand Word Autocorrect for instance, and it's recently gotten more aggressive and will change colour to color before I've even finished typing 'colourful'.
My philosophy is that I have all these buttons to push in front of me and it's up to me to press the ones I intended to press. If I wanted something different I'd push different buttons.
If your discussion can't take place without making someone feel bad, why should we allow it to take place? Not a politician or celebrity whose stepped into a debate, but someone who just happens to be overweight because they're undergoing chemotherapy for example.
And scream whatever amendment it is that jerks use to justify these acitons, I'm not a US citizen so I couldn't give less of a shit. I mean one of the amendments tells Americans to all shoot each other all the time - how's that been working out lately?
This whole idea that we'll have lost something as a society if we can't insult random innocent people is so retarded it hurts my head.
^This. To every little Reddit fuck who has come here today to complain that "mommy stopped my fun game". Either understand how the game isn't fun or just watch us slap you like this over and over again until you do.
You've chosen to associate with a group that preaches hating a certain type of person. Your goal is to hurt other people.
Now you're crying because someone decided to fuck that off into oblivion, and trying to justify your original actions as giving advice and information to people?
That's right, and if you multiply it by, say 100 million downloads, to keep it simple, then they have wasted about 3 years of time and 10 million dollars worth of disk space for no reason. It's likely to be an order of magnitude or even two higher than that over the lifetime of the product.
It's like saying that every time Office is slow or buggy then only a few minutes of time or pages of text are lost. If you multiply that by the amount of usage it's had in the last decade or two, the amount of lost productivity across every sector - government, education, finance, logistics... is huge.
We would all be driving nuclear powered hovercars today were it not for MS Office.
Yep, we haven't figured out how to allow a user to drag an Explorer window that's looking for something on a network, but we have built directly into our OS support for a third-party program to talk to fourth-party hardware.
We still haven't figured out a reliable algorithm that can draw things inside specified a rectangular region of the display, but you can run Android apps and have their GUIs splayed out across the display like a grisly sacrifice.
We still haven't figured out just how much we alienated our customer base by trying to force all computers to be tablets, but we are sure _this_ version of Windows is gonna be the one that everyone installs on their desktops.
So they've spent some more time muddying the purpose of their OS and they want us to bring our efforts to their platform, after years and years of making sure nobody could take their efforts under Windows to other platforms?
Good luck there MS, I for one will not be supporting you.
Would be great if we can also force them into giving downgrades like they had to with Vista. If I can get a free Windows 10 and downgrade it to Windows 7 my OS needs (from Microsoft) will be met permanently.
The NRA always comes out and says stupid things like that if everyone at Charlie Hebdo had had a gun nobody would have died (when in fact many more people probably would have).
If nobody had had a gun then nobody would have been killed (probably).
If you have a gun for your personal use (ie you are not a farmer) then I want you watched as a terrorist, because that's exactly what you are (attempting to hold your physical power over me, without ever having earned my trust to do so).
"Co-relation is not causation, I'm pretty sure all those shooters also regularly drank milk yet I don't see people blaming milk for suicides or homicides."
Easily the most pathetic argument I've ever heard from a gun nut. I think I could fairly easily demonstrate that the murder weapon used in a murder does have a *causative* role in the events.
Have they fixed the fundamental flaws in Windows or Office that have made everyone's life a PITA for 20 years? If I happen to be pressing 'Y' just as a dialog pops up asking if I want to format C, what will happen in Windows 10? Can I open two Excel spreadsheets at once without having to Google how yet? Can I open two spreadsheets that have the same name but are in different directories yet? Can Word be used for a numbered list without causing psychosis yet?
At least you could argue that Windows and Office now cost far closer to what they're worth I guess.
We have no sympathy for them because they have made numerous decisions like those and have never acknowledged let alone given any explanation as to why they felt they should arse-rape the whole huamn race like that.

No way; heat, metal and meat. I fail to see what is bad about this situation.
This is me logging in to tell you there is no such thing as cow-towing, but the idea of it happening in orbit cracks me up.

Poor StackOverflow. :-)
I was correcting people anonymously but had to log in for this being 'insightful'.
As I pointed out elsewhere, division by zero is something you might come across in demodulating AM signals.
It's not the standards at Dice that are slipping around here guys.

Let me just rearrange your own words for you.
"But by what definition of the word 'harassment' apply?"
"Embarrassing photos / comments about people."
Do you understand now? As my mother used to say, if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all.
It's not hard.

LMFAO. You spend your time hurting people on purpose.
Pretty much the one thing that is guaranteed to have people retaliate in kind.
Do you see how that works?
So no, you are not allowed to speak. In fact get the fuck off the internet, we don't want you here.
Consciously and actively deciding to deliberately upset someone for your own amusement... isn't your fault?
Go back to Reddit kid. You aren't wanted here at all. This place is for adults.
What was the exact amount?
Correct. Only yanks 'sit' exams.

slightly? Blowing poison gas into the air I breathe is not "slightly"
Panic much?
Don't you dare drive your car past me when I'm smoking.
"climb out of that gym locker you were stuffed into"
No. Fuck off Jock. Like I give a shit about your sport all of a sudden.

Sorry if that upsets you Murricans.
Now compare it to the rest of the world where we don't all run around shooting people all the time.
