From today on, 4 will not be <= 4. Thank you for your assistance in facilitating this change.
Captcha: iusto - iusto know that 4 <= 4.

A picture says more then a thousand French words... or in this case, one: Merde!
Admin
Did I just go blind, or did the flesh evaporate from the text leaving only the bones behind? TRWTF is the new font.
Admin
The "John Connor" snippet PROVES that far into the future, Ruby on Rails will be a dominant language/framework.
There is no COBOL in the future!
Admin
BTW, did someone ever wonder why that library is called libcaca? Scatological humour at its finest :-)
Admin
Ah the empty string is a number ... I knew that!
Admin
Well... I can't argue with that. That is extremely creative VB.NET. So creative you would almost think it was a different language!
Admin
It used to be enough just to destroy John Connor. Now we have to take his stories away, too.
Admin
Bool-Merde.NET?
Admin
I'm saving the steaming pile ascii art for the Communicator
Admin
Didn't you do French in highschool? I knew "merde" and I also know "foutre le camp", but these are literally the only French words I remember (clearly it was a very useful class).
Admin
The purpose of this function is true WTF. I have figured it all out.
Admin
That last sample is some really good VB.NET alright.
Can you really do _ for line continuation in C#, and if you do, will boog strangle a penguin?
Admin
Admin
oh non mon ami! I took Spanish. Of course, the Spanish equivalent is mierda, so I assumed it was the same.
Admin
Clearly he wanted to create skynet and terminator and hid it inside of a program. Waiting to be awaken someday
Admin
I can not see the link to youtube site. Unavaible in my country due to publisher limit
Admin
The important function, could lay dormant in an application for years before someone thought to look at the logs, then realise like all logs, they are useless when the debug code and the release code do not use the same stack traces.
Admin
boog will strangle the penguin no matter what. I think we all know that by now...
And no, you can't do _ for line continuation because dusting off my flamewar hat C# is a REAL language which doesn't require hand-holding like this.
zis comment is merde!
Admin
So "merde!" means campfire? I don't get it.

Ladytron++;
Never thought I'd see a reference to that in code. Plus 10 internets to the first person who finds Goldfrapp in code.

Thanks for extending my thought. My comment was a futile and transparent attempt at a flamewar...
And you're right, things like line terminators and case-sensitivity make C# a much more sane language. I hate it when crap like 'all private fields should be prefixed with m_ because the "special" langauge does not do well with case sensitivity' leaks into coding standards.
IMO, the only thing VB.NET was good for was interop, but now thanks to DLR via .NET 4.0, we don't need it anymore.
Admin
I wonder - I'm not a C++ expert, but the PrBoolFlag function - if the inbool was obtained via some memory-magic manipulations (like casting an int* to a bool*); and they used some weird compiler for an embedded software (which might be since it seems to have something to with printers); could it not be that it was possible for the value to actually be something that the compiler doesn't recognize as either true or false?
Admin
Admin
This protects you when "The INT is TOO DAMN HIGH!"
Admin
Admin
Bah! True Scots- uh... coders like to know the real function signature they are calling. Anyway, what's so hard about using a few dozen Missing.Value parameters? I mean you only have to write a method once, right?
Admin
Admin
My favorite is "destroyEverythingYouTouch". That pattern will be very useful in the future. I plan to create all of these:

Admin
I've got mixed feelings about optional/default parameters. I guess I'm a purist (or a change resistant donkey, either-or), but I much prefer method overloading. To me, it just looks cleaner and it's more explicit.
But I think I'm arguing against myself because really and truly, it was brought in for interop, not for us lazy devs who don't want to write 5 overloads...

Admin
It's kind of beautiful, don't you think? It's kind of like a huge array of wind-mills...
Admin
Wow, now there's a guy who REALLY hates VB.NET. Hats off to you sir for successfully cutting off your nose to spite your face... :)

For emphasis, "putain de merde" works as well...
Admin
Funny.

IsNumber("2.0")

Admin
Shitwhore would make a great band name.
Admin
Exactly: Neither the return nor the change to x counts as an increment. The name is a doubled lie.
Admin
I would have commented earlier but I was [rolls D20 while disregarding part of the range] thinking about Jessica in Berlin... Yes, that's what I was doing.
Admin
It's the opposite of an increment. It's an excrement.
Admin
No "reticulating splines"? For shame...
