I'd say I don't root for cheaters, but I'm a Raiders fan, so my credibility is shot. But I still have my dignity. And a healthy resentment of misapplications of "the tuck rule."
-
This is beyond the realm of the (non-existent) dislike button. This calls for a button.

Yeah, it's been fun to have so many people talk about wrong information regarding Deflategate.

As someone from WI, I don't know who I was supposed to have rooted for. Should I have rooted for the Patriots out of vengeance against the Seahawks for beating the Packers, or for the Seahawks on account of them winning would have meant that at least we were only beaten by the best? I don't know!

Hey hey hey. Be careful what kind of firepower you send that way. I I've less than 200 miles from that city!

Oh. You are targeting him and not his teams home city.

I knew there was a reason to dislike you.

Where do you stand on someone who despot having a Superbowl party yesterday only found out who was playing this morning?
And only then because everyone at the office wouldn't shut up about the game...

You would take that interpretation........ -_-
-
Somewhat more seriously, it doesn't bother me that someone doesn't care enough about sports to know who's playing. My kids don't. If there wasn't a local team playing, I wouldn't either. OTOH, having a party where people are watching the game, but still not knowing — that seems like apathy above and beyond the realm of mere mortals.
For the record, I don't stand on anyone. That's for people of more petite stature than I to do.

That is a sports thing too? On this side of the ocean I only hear about commercials and a performance where it is important to keep one's clothes in the right place.

That's the Washington DC Nationalist Pirates, right?

Montreal Senators, actually.

points to Tower You mean that one?
My brother works at a stately home with a semi-famous garden. He was in the grounds once when some visitors pointed at some large trees in the distance and asked "Are those bonsai trees?"
He says the urge to say "no, they're just far away" was almost irresistable.

By a really fucking stupid mistake.
How would you have felt had Carroll called a run play, but the Patriots stuffed it, forcing Carroll to call his last timeout and putting the Seahawks into a situation where they couldn't run on third down because they'd have no way to stop the clock if they needed all four downs to get the ball in? (Keep in mind that the Patriots know this, and are going to be expecting a pass on third down...)Granted, a straight pass play on second down was a big mistake in any case -- better to call play-action at that point because you know the defense has to respect your running game. A good play-fake could have saved the Seahawks' bacon at that point...
-
The only thing I found amusing was apparently someone got censored for doing a touchdown celebration where he mimed pooping on the football. But I only heard it on the radio, didn't watch the game (watching football isn't even in the barrel as far as things to do when I'm bored).
-
I was wondering why they got an Unsportsmanlike after a touchdown.

Status: Forgot to change shirt after shoveling out this morning so am at office wearing emergency shirt i keep at the office.
I forgot how uncomfortable this shirt is, which is probably exactly why i keep it at the office for emergency use only.

Not sure what it does exactly (it returns void...), but apparently, not calling it makes libxml2 leak memory.With

As an American, you should have rooted against the evil Patriots, of course. What are you, a Communist?

It would have been like the Patriots beat the Seahawks instead of the Seahawks beating the Seahawks.

Doesn't the Apache Foundation have money? Why is the experience of downloading this tool: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/ so fucking terrible? Like, even by open source standards it's awful.
EDIT: oh the tool doesn't work, either. Nice.

EDIT EDIT: Oh this is looking better and better:
FOP searches the configuration file for the information it expects, at the position it expects. When that information is not present, FOP will not complain, it will just continue. When there is other information in the file, FOP will not complain, it will just ignore it. That means that when your configuration information is in the file but in a different XML element, or in a different XML path, than FOP expects, it will be silently ignored.
A TOOL DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR XML DOES NOT PARSE XML CORRECTLY. And they seem utterly non-apologetic about it.

In XML it doesn't matter what order you put data. If it expects the data in a certain "position", it's utterly broken.
Although now that I think about it, maybe that paragraph was written by an aspie with less than zero communication skills and instead of "position" he means "path", in which case FOP might be slightly less broken.
I'm having a lovely "first-run" experience though. Well, I say "first-run" experience, but it hasn't actually run yet.
-

XML also doesn't specify element names, attribute names, data types, desired structure. etc; those are implementation details, which in this case, is up to FOP.
@blakeyrat said:If
itFOP's implementation of XML expects the data in a certain "position", it's utterly broken.
Depends on how the XML is meant to be interpreted, but in most cases, I agree, it shouldn't really matter, so long as the XPath gets to the right place.
