The Whiteboard

@Macneil It's on reddit. reddit.com/r/programming/comments/epy7f/…

(I once wrote a little internal app that would directly edit the web database, in case some erroneous results came in from the field -- say if somebody transposed some digits or added an extra zero -- so we could change what was displayed on the results webpage. I called it the "Election Fix-O-Matic". My boss came to me the next day and said that you do not put the word "fix" next to "election", ever.)

yeah, that is how I kill a conversation.

@Craige: Also see blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/09/good-subjective-bad-subjective which mentions the exact reason Programmers was even conceived: Stack Overflow had an influx of a lot of subjective questions, yet however great they were, they were generally unacceptable questions (not answerable) and closed. Programmers is the place for those questions.

@Craige see this blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/12/…

@DanGrossman I take it your not a fan?

@rakshit your name is awesome it makes me think about a really crappy cloud data provider.

@chris at this point, trying to "read the tea leaves," i.e., conduct Microsoft kremlinology, is sort of like eating sunflower seeds = net calorie loss.

@wilhelmtell I think they also bargained for ridiculous amounts of beautiful woman... Its one of the things I remember the most to my trip to montreal... they were.. everywhere!

@Ryan The Microsoft Natural Keyboard 4000 is still the best programmers keyboard, evar.

Hmm, might be good to point out a couple of links since people are new: If you want to test chat features, hit up the Sandbox room, and if you have chat feedback, there's a room for that too.

@JoelSpolsky yea. I think in itself it a good idea because it gets us programmers thinking about things that don't have the deterministic answers and it gives us somewhere to ask questions that are harder for non-programmers (or technical minded people) to answer

I bet if you showed that to someone who cared about either three it might offend them

@Macneil pretty sure there's an odata query for that

@AlexandruTrandafirCatalin Man, if ever I saw a Romanian name, your name is it! :)

@badp I'm really beginning to hope they don't take Super Mod away on chat

This room has been migrated from "meta"

Admittedly, it's been a long time since I've touched C.

I had a question today in a programming competition where I got stuck
