RE: Top 10 dead or dying computer skills - in 2007
We are only now deprecating some PowerBuilder apps. And they are all shit.
I wish we could. All new work is being done in .Net, but the majority of our customers are on the PowerBuilder version of our products.

RE: 🙅 THE BAD IDEAS THREAD
From the article:
- Upload as your profile picture to some online service, try to crash their image processing scripts.
The image is a 420 byte png that expands to something like 141GB image...

RE: Unfunny Connections
At the university I went to (has since dropped computer science. Idiots.) they used thicknet with vampire taps, and they ran it in the walls, so there was a loop that came into each office that had to be tapped... I later left and worked at a company where we set up thinnet. They both were horrible. The company later scrapped the thinnet and went to 10 base T.

DOS causes cancer, you insensitive clod!
And yes, parallel and serial ports were a bitch to deal with under DOS and Windows (each version it's own hell, from 16 bit to 32 bit).

RE: How To Demoralize Employees: A DIY Guide for Terrible Companies
There's like 8 posts of whether someone meant to say "I cared less" or "I couldn't care less", it's not funny, it's extremely stupid, and I don't want it in my fucking thread. You aren't a fucking infant, you presumably have a working brain and a memory, so you already know this.
Now mod those posts (and this one!) out of the damned thread.
I hate these word crimes
Like I could care less
That means you do care
At least a little
Don't be a moron
You'd better slow down
And use the right pronoun
Show the world you're no clown
Everybody wise up!
Word Crimes, Weird Al. Now get that song our of your head.

RE: Visual Studio 2015 is out
Well, I installed VS 2015 and opened one of our projects; Got several compiler errors right off the bat (prior, using VS 2012 / 2010). So no code changes on my part, but compile errors now. One was solved by commenting out code (it was an obsolete that turned into error), and the others solved by changing a parameter name (it was the same name as the external function declaration it was part of) and the others by adding references (seems to have lost some tolerance there -- I use MSBuild 2012 on the code and get no errors). I think I'll edit the batch compile file to see what happens if I attempt to compile our entire source tree...

Continuing the discussion from You have ruined Javascript:
I do enjoy a heartfelt rant.
[quote=http://codeofrob.com/entries/you-have-ruined-javascript.html]...trying to wrap my head around all of the indirection in the above example is making me want to crawl under a desk and bang my head on the floor until the brainmeats come out so I don't have to subject myself to this madness any further.

[/quote]Gets stuck on click tracking code. Oddly, works fine if you open it in a new tab.

RE: Good bye Silverlight Road
It doesn't put null terminator at the end.
That's because it is a "safe" replacement for wsprintf, which was added to the windows API way back (maybe 3.0? Can't remember if it was in Windows/286) because back then you couldn't use ANY C run time functions. And wsprintf didn't include line terminator because they figured you were using the output to paint on the screen via GDI functions (which is what I used it for).

RE: Good bye Silverlight Road
FlashBlock is the one I use, and even better, I never have let flash install for FireFox, I have to explicitly open IE to view flash. Sadly, the company I work for uses flash on their own web site (I blame marketing).

RE: SVN question
I'm pretty sure that it is; as part of that it merges in the list of commits merged, so they are only ever merged once (like a normal merge does -- if you attempt to merge in a revision that has already been merged, nothing happens).OK, totally wrong. -
RE: More stupid Git errors THIS TIME IN FIRST-PERSON!
Precommit hooks to validate the commit message are an incredibly handy tool to use to ensure everyone's on the same page with what information goes in a commit message. We're looking at implementing them at my company using Subversion to ensure that a JIRA ticket is referenced before we even consider integrating your change. If we can swing it, we'll run the unit tests too, because why not?
That is what we do as well, and also for securing branches of shipped code (only bug fixes are allowed, and only if customer has requested them). We have them for Visual Source Safe 6 (yea, still use that for an old development environment) and SVN. Then the number is stamped on on branches for tracking in our issue tracking software.
