@KazWolfe PHP is a great language if you give it to your enemy. They will soon become exhausted from all of the naming inconsistencies, they will be vulnerable because of the poor security model, and before long, even their youngest children will be "super expert programmers".
@HenryWHHackv2.0 The problem with ignoring suggested edits that are garbage is that it builds self-confidence in the editor and the next thing that happens is that he starts to systematically vandalize heavily upvoted answers that contributors have worked hours to create. Providing constant feedback early is the best way to prevent this from happening. Harassing the reviewer for protecting good answers is wrong.
@HenryWHHackv2.0 I'm serious about this. Once a rogue editor is loose in the wild, good useful answers start to become useless one by one, and there is nobody there to catch it. An answer that worked for years suddenly stops working and starts to get downvoted. The editor has a lot of power on Ask Ubuntu. He should not use this power to make himself into a despotic absolute ruler of the whole website.
see , there's the difference - my mind instantly started spinning with possible ideas on how to implement such thing. Maybe I don't know enough C or Java to do that, but in python ideas go instantly
@TheXed On Screen Display , generic term for anything that displays text over your desktop
@HenryWHHackv2.0 And furthermore there are editors that are wilfully destructive. How is a reviewer supposed to be able to distinguish between naive stupidity and wilfull destructiveness? And even if this was possible, does it even matter? All human beings make mistakes sometimes, even you, so don't ask me for any special privileges which you don't deserve.
@TheXed What if it really hit you hard? So hard that you can't think straight. Y'know, where you come to work and start telling everyone to switch to DOS.
"What do you mean it won't print? Go get a serial cable and type "PRINT" at the prompt!"
@NathanOsman actually I did tell someone today I was going to upgrade them to Windows 98....Maybe a bus isn't required to not make me think straight...
