[/quote] I always heard it as "verbifying."OP reminds me of George Carlin ranting about rain events, preheated ovens, preboarding, and getting IN the plane, not ON the plane.

  • Re: GitHub is fucking broken fucking again

    I wonder how often this problem originally arises from someone developing on Linux, deciding to start supporting Windows, and trying to look up "Where is the user's home directory on Windows?" instead of "Where does Windows expect me to store application-specific configuration?"

  • Re: I could spend hours and hours and hours just ranting about what an awful experience dealing with git is

    [quote user="The_Assimilator"]There's also an Hg-Git plugin that allows you to access git repos from Hg, which (from what I can see) should work with TortoiseHG.[/quote] This. HG-Git and HGSubversion are actually the main reasons I ended up settling on Mercurial as my weapon of choice.
