As long as the subject matter is restricted to specific technical questions, rather than anything political or ideological or philosophical, it could work.
there are enough holly wars in the technological department as well ...

Isn't Vista great?
My girlfriend bought a new laptop recently that came pre-installed with Vista. It apparently has a 4 hour battery life. However, it turns out that the benchmark tools they use to determine such a number, which represent the battery life of a system running at normal load, had not yet been adapted to take account of Vista.
We spent ages turning off any feature we could think of, but could not get the battery life to go beyond 3 hours.
benchmark tools ... yeah right ...
how the manufacturers determine the battery life
1. disconnect the display,
2. remove the harddisk
3. turn on the laptop and start the measurement
4. note the time when it powers down due to empty battery
5. add 0,5 h to the result in order to compensate for statistics
6. print it on the case
7. put a weaker battery in the laptop in order to cut costs, sell the bigger one for more money

Wouldn't it be more important for him to learn what a search engine is first? Maybe learn that playing random files has nothing at all to do with search and/or organization? .Maybe he should learn that a VB6 application can't replace an OS no matter how hard he wishes, and no matter how many forums he acts like a fool on?
I see your joke, but this guy isn't going to get it. Please don't say anything that might be considered encouraging by someone who is operating in a different plane of existence.
This guy is the reason this site exists. He produces more great material in a day, than Alex can dig up in a week. In Alex's place, I would give this guy a job, to make sure I never run out of material.
I was just trying to give him a push in the right direction.
Speaking of material, when is the next TDWTF(C)(R)(TM) Programming Contest(C)(R)(TM) coming ? The topic could be "Build a desktop search engine" ...

@MasterPlanSoftware said:Alright... So?
So nothing, I'm just trying to figure out what you're getting from it because it isn't obvious. Clearly you're not in it to "educate" him because he's clearly shown he can't be, arguing with him can't be that much fun either because he just keeps repeating the same stuff. There's obviously some enjoyment to be had here that I am clearly missing out on.
I'm still trying to find out what kind of thing this SpectateSwamp really is ... So far I have eliminated humans and computers ...

he also wrote the best bot I've ever seen (grammar not withstanding)I take it you've never seen a properly trained megahal, then. Once you've been on an IRC channel with one for a while, you get the hang of spotting them. It's really quite an old piece of software - turns out that semi-comprehensible English isn't that hard to generate, and it's kinda convincing because most people who speak English just aren't very comprehensible to begin with. Algorithms like that one have generated scientific papers that were convincing enough to be accepted by conference reviewers.
(There's obviously a person supporting it and keeping it roughly on-topic)
I call BS. This is clearly someone who has completely lost it.

I see no WTF here.
You have no Symantec products and therefore you have no problems.

To be fair, i didn't have the wise wig since i moved to chrome. so this is a big improvement

For example, Uncharted: Drake's Whatever offers non-gimmicky controls then, out of nowhere, stops you cold with a screen where you have to (and I am not even kidding) hold the Vita's rear camera against a bright light source. I was playing this in Washington State, in a bus, in November... where the holy fuck was I supposed to find a bright light source?!
@blakeyrat said:
Actually I enjoyed Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward. But it's also on DS, so that's not really an argument for buying a Vita...The only other game on it that I'd consider good is Mutant Blobs Attack, which is also on iOS and PC so that's not really an argument for buying a Vita...
