Of course. Australia is a state of Britian, like Britain is a state of America. Which is why Australia has a prime minister and a governer general, Britain has a prime minister and queen, and America has a president and God. America, of course, is a state of the Internet, which has AmmoQ.

raping of the English language without a legit reason bugs the hell out of me.It doesn't sit right with me, and I usually respond by cryptically poking fun at it, which just confuses people. IRL, I mean. I hope I'm not becoming a Swampy.
Mine was about as sensible as yours.

If they're LOCAL aliens, they're not aliens at all.Beat me to it :( I was just gonna say that 'local alien' is an oxymoron, but you did a much better job.
Now I'm trying to figure out if Spectate is intended as a noun, a verb, or as an adjective.

Um, I meant if you saw Integer x = 3 you should know what that means.Yes. Was that ever in question?@CodeSimian said:
Why are you still calling him "pstorer"?I, too, wondered that. Curently assuming it's for lols.
AmmoQ is a four-cornered cube. Singular SSDS is oneness evil and taught android mentality.
@morbiuswilters said:
So, if it took you a couple of seconds to see the problemUnlike you, I am unable to read every word of the post simultaneously. I'll agree that it's obvious what's going on upon reading. It's nearly 4 years since I worked with Java and that was for a single semester of university. Actually, Java was our (official) introduction to OOP, after a semester of C.
@SpectateSwamp said:
The last 15 to 20 seconds is where the action happens. Right before I turn the camera off.That's why they call it the last 15-20 seconds. It's always right before you turn the camera off.@SpectateSwamp said:
Don't worry swampies we will be able to collaborate aliens with SSDS for at least 10 more years.We weren't worrying. Are you sure that SSDS will still be necessary after 2012? (Interestingly we recently past post 2012. And before my posting it was on 2020. Hindsight?) [quote user="SpectateSwamp"]Question: Do you think the Tobacco Leaf Flyer looked over my shoulder into the viewfinder?[/quote]I don't think it did. I did not realise that tobacco leaves had vision, nor that they understand cameras. How could it be looking into the viewfinder while being recorded?@SpectateSwamp said:
Are they watching you?Nope.@SpectateSwamp said:
Or Is it just here in Alien Central that these flyers exist.That should be a question? And yes, if by Alien Central you mean your pot-addled mind.@SpectateSwamp said:
It's not easy being annoying. Sometimes I just don't have anything cruel to say.Why bother?@SpectateSwamp said:
With a copy of VB5 and all that knowledge you would be ahead of my version of SSDS in no time. That's good enough reason to be annoying.Ahh, so you're doing it for our benefit. How benelovent of you!@SpectateSwamp said:
Keep being annoyed. Don't leave. You have come too far.Yes, we're way beyond VB5. We've come too far to need SSDS.
It's issues like this that make testing necessary. (Coupled with the problem that coders (and all other people) are not perfect.)
I think the OP intended to post something that looks wrong for a couple of seconds before it becomes obvious what's really going on. This highlights why caution is needed when programming to ensure such features are not inadvertantly used incorrectly.

Anyway, this thread was obviously started to provoke a flamewar,I don't think it was. It may not have become one if you hadn't assumed it was.@subanark said:
Is this a Java troll?MPS is definitely not a Java troll.
Hmm, seems like my point has already been made:@MasterPlanSoftware said:
@subanark said:MPS, please believe that there are people in the world who have the capacity to start a thread without harbouring the intention to start a war. I saw no such desire in the initial post.I never intended to start a language warYes you did. But it is ok, it happens all the time. The sidebar thrives on it.@subanark said:an intresting oddity.Uh no. That is not at all what it was.

Right, you go have fun with that. Notice everyone else has moved on?I have noticed, and I'm glad.@MasterPlanSoftware said:
Gullible much?I'm not falling for that one :D
Is it gullible to believe morbiuswilters is seriously annoyed, or is it gullible to belive that every single thing he's said in this thead is as much as joke as everyone else? Frankly, I really don't care, as the whole thing is pretty meaningless to me regardless. Um... I think I'll go pray for myself :P@CodeSimian said:
It is probably hard for some people to realize that there's actually very few genuine personal attacks in this thread.Eh, I think it's pretty obvious. The tough thing is to tell whether some people are playing a long by pretending not to realise this, or whether they are geniunely ignorant of what's really going on here.
@drinkingbird said:
That's quite a bit of enthusiasm for a WTF that at best could be one of many error screens in an Error'd post.I assumed making it one of the many error screens in an Error'd post was the intention.
While there's a lot of joking around going on, I have decided that I like morbiuswilters better than MasterPlanSoftware. I also support the discouraging of suicide bombers.
Lets try to keep the personal attacks to Specate's threads, m'kay? (Though considering that was a gateway to a lot of other problems, perhaps we should tone that down too. Have we fed the troll enough yet?)
@HannahRochelle said:
...Unlike good ol' Swampy himself, who has posted his personal details AAAAAAAAAALLLL over the goddamn internets.Missile targetting parameters? What missile targetting parameters?
Okay, anyone who isn't actually on the same side, please raise your hand. Just so the rest of us can see what's actually going on here.
@HannahRochelle said:
Half the time he's so outrageous it's funny, and the rest of the time it's infuriating.Yeah, he's like a comedic brick wall.
Since he seems to think all publicity is good publicity, I don't mind being a mean to him occasionally, so long as he doesn't know where I live.
@HannahRochelle said:
Well, that too. I was trying to be nice about it.I'm usually nice but I figure that he doesn't care whether people are nice to him or not.@HannahRochelle said:

I remember reading a feature article on an online mag where the chick had just gotten herself out of debt, saying, "I once bought 'Credit Repair for Dummies' and read it on the train, but stopped soon after, because I felt like I was advertising two handicaps."*grin* good one!
I wonder what would happen if Spectate started a book series... "Screen Reshooting for Stups", "Dino Mummy Hunting for The Mases", "Become a Stone Dancer in 24 Hours", "V5 for the ClueLess", "Training Birds to Find Aliens in 7 Days", "Understanding Why Enter Enter Enter is Way Faster Than Down Arrow", "Be in Control of Your Computer with SSDS Hahahahaha", and the musical classic "The Wind on a DVD"
@morbiuswilters said:
Yeah, it's pretty much like that around here. I posted it because it was a little WTFy, but everyone has to jump in and start talking trash. I think most of them are just virginal 13 year olds living in their mother's basements who have nothing better to do than troll Slashdot and TDWTF. Everyone makes mistakes, but these guys act like they are infallible, just because they are jealous that they don't have a job and have never kissed a girl. Calling someone ugly? That's a real mature attitude, guys. Thanks for raising the level of discourse around here. I'd love to see some of the code produced by these self-proclaimed "experts"..You make a good point, but making it isn't going to help. Do you really expect they'll respond positively to this?

Does your idea of special recognition mean we need to recognise them ourselves (by videoing the thread scrolling and putting red circles around the avatars the birds respond to?)? No one has become famous on the net that I can tell (though you are becoming infamous). And even if we did become famous, I don't see that you have any grounds to claim that is bad.@SpectateSwamp said:
They all need an audience. New Dino Mummy finds, Aliens and Stone Dances even Swampies with CamCorders. And the Audience needs them. They just do.Uh, I sure don't need them, and they definitely don't need me!@SpectateSwamp said:

As this discussion declines only the real real flakes remain. Good going DerulaSwamp ant the rest of our fellow flakes. Too bad for those NetSquaredSwamps missing out on all this knowledge sharing, collaboration and flakyness. Every possible critic and extremist opinion on SSDS have been expressed and poor poor old SpectateSwamp thanks you.Actually, I'm sure there are a lot more critical and 'extremist' opinions yet to be expressed. I'm not sure what you think flaky means, but I doubt it means what you think it means. I like Corn Flakes. Also, "A more flaky forum I never knew" can get added to the list of usages of that phrase.@SpectateSwamp said:
Watch out for this bird.Alrighty. What should I do if I see it again? Now that is a seriously blocky jpeg!@HannahRochelle said:

If you video a mirror with a webcam. You might find alien artifacts at the edge of the mirror. This is because of the infinite ReShoot that results from the mirror. Not because of compression.

I have to hand it to you, Obfuscator, you managed to start the funniest thread all week. Kudos.All YEAR. *wipes tears from eyes* I am unable to compose myself.
I hope you used wooden tabled to hold all this gear!
I believe that this VB5 fanaticism deserves it's own section on The Website. There's plenty of 'good' quotes just waiting to be used for this.
SpectateSwamp: Won't the masses be more likely to use SSDS if it's built with current technology, rather than out-of-date technology such as VB5? Backward compatibilitly issues caused by VB5 will hold back the Swampies and endanger the world. VB5 is a Dino Mummy!
Ooh a fuzzy kitty!
