    [quote user="alphadogg"]and you don't have any copyright or ownership of the word "aspie" or "Asperger's". It's pretty common on many forums and sufferers like yourself are prevalent on tech forums who tend to make assholes of themselves by assuming too much.[/quote] Morbs isn't an aspie. The ...

  • Re: A quick experiment in dumb (Chrome)

    [quote user="Lorne Kates"] Both. I'm giving Blakey a hard time. But in all seriousness, this is quite possible THE perfect example of when cursor-in-screenshot would have been appropriate.  It is quite literally a screen shot where the main bit of information being conveyed is the position of the on screen ...

  • Re: Yet another Go thread

    [quote user="lettucemode"] [quote user="Ben L."] No you don't. Dereferencing a nil pointer will crash your program with a nice stack trace. [/quote] What if I don't want my program to crash because it dereferences nil pointers? I have to check that the pointer's not nil before I use it. Why am I checking ...

  • Re: Yet another Go thread

    [quote user="MiffTheFox"] You can't take a Linux binary across different distro families, what makes you think you can take it to a Linux from a completely non-Unix system? [/quote] That's not really true. It depends on what your dependencies are. Lots of binaries are deployed to all sorts of distros.

    [quote user="blakeyrat"] [quote user="Lorne Kates"] Starve like every other artist trying to make it big? [/quote] That sucks. We as a society can't do any better than that?

    [quote user="eViLegion"]Yeah... variation exists. I never said it didn't, I just pointed out that you can still make valid points about variable data.

  • Re: The death of PC

    [quote user="eViLegion"] Observation that you're an expert doesn't make you an expert; expertise does. A person is an expert, or not, regardless of their level of TV exposure. Why should an expert need to be seen to be an expert? [/quote] Because simply "being an expert" doesn't bring in clients with capital to ...

  • Re: Iron Man is now powered by Oracle

    [quote user="serguey123"] Even though the risk of any of that happening is really low? [/quote] I look both ways whenever I cross a street, even though some streets I cross rarely have any cars coming, and even when they do, I can usually hear them. So the probability of me being struck if I just started walking is really low. Does ...

  • Re: The death of PC

    [quote user="CodeNinja"] I mean, I get it when they say, "The PC industry is dying because Smartphones and Tablets!"

Tablets have their places, of course, and when it's used as a media consumption device it ...
