SMACK!
In life we have two kinds of understanding.
The first kind of understanding comes from finding new ways to comprehend, to see from a new perspective. So seeing an apple that falls and a falling feather, i would ask what is similar and different between them. From this we can begin to develop a theory of gravity, or of motion, or air resistance, or name your explanation.
The second kind of understanding defies all known approaches of explanation. It is not to say that there is no explanation, just that we have not found it, or can not comprehend it. So in the already offered example, we can not prove one. We have to take it on merit, and describe in terms of an experience, hence why all school kids get given activities where they count out tokens, and are shown in terms of tokens (be they sheep, counters, lego) how much is one, how much is two, how much is three, ... .
The only point to the above is that they afford us some ability to predict the future, for if they did not why should we try to understand them.
It is in this light that God serves as an acceptance in understanding as the cause of lighting, at least till we are capable of understanding lighting from some other acceptance, such as electricity. Which in term serves till we understood electrons flows, and so on.
The question as to whether God or an other Deity or group of Deities exist is a moot point, you will either accept them, or not. At the end of the day your knowledge has to be useful to you, and many find comfort from belief in a deity.
nbsp;
In a side note, your actions are still your own, regardless of your beliefs. Others will always judge these.

There needs to be a clear, unambigous, documented procedure to determine whether a WTF is really a WTF. Each step has to be checked by several instances and added to the process documentation. Statistics should be created regularly to assess the success of the process.
First we need a committee to draft up the business process documentation for the WTF procedure.
And before that we need an armed militant wing to ensure that no one - no one - over reacts to the suggestions of this committee ... Which is to be lead by a suitably community minded fellow - like myself.
P.S. Anarchy? what Anarchy? ooooh this Anarchy?
This seems to be a problem after a while in companies that employ the method of promoting to incompetence.

In my native country women are not allowed to be the driving ...
Hmm, not surprised. By the way what kind of thing is The Driving?
But assuming you meant "be driving"
@morbiuswilters said:
... be driving as the Qu'ran clearly states. ...
Okay, I may not be totally read up on my Qu'ran, but i rather suspect that cars were not mentioned in it. Horses, carts, wheelbarrows, maybe. Cars, no.

... Punishment is public stoning until deceased to serve warning to others.
Hmm, each to their own. But i do sincerely hope you stone stupid drivers irrespective of their sex. As unless i miss the point, the only drivers over there are men, add to this that an accident on the road is probably the result of "stupid" people and the only "people" in the driving seat would be ... those men.
Could it be, a stupid man?
Also, might i ask who throws the first stone in these events?
Hey guys, there are reasons for and against both systems.
Zero based indexing make sense when we are dealing with distance. Distance equations are at their simplest to calculate within a zero based system.
One based indexing is easier for people to think in if they aren't really concerned with distance.
But what would be nice are arrays that start at an arbitrary offset and go to an arbitrary offset, so people can have thier one based, zero based, and 5894335 based indexing

I'm a little surprised to see so many people upset with such a condecending story... on a site that's all about highlighting idiocy in IT.
The condescending story is about people who may not have had any experience with subways, or ticket machines specifically. It also highlights that he was in a position to assist, and didn't offer to assist those people. Admittedly he did say his French wasn't up to the kind of conversation, but it is amazing how universal gesturing is.
@merreborn said:
We mock people for their bad code, this guy mocks people for their inability to operate a ticket machine.
Yes, we mock people for the inability to perform a task that they claim to be good at or even skilled at. We also use these as a form of education, which hopefully reduces the rate of their production.
And so that i'm not taken wrong, I rather hope that the code (of the people) mocked are representative pieces of their professional life (and not their learning life)

Do I win?
Not sure, do we have anyone with a pdp11 or a commodore 64?

This is an IT forum, we should be able to handle a little HTML.Have you even read any posts but your own? 95% of the people here are so stupid they'd impale themselves on the pointy HTML tags and end up screwing up the page for everyone else. Consider the WYSIWYG editor a security feature against the maliciously idiotic people who post here, not a convenience.
Oh, come on. What kind of idiot could screw up something so simple?
...
You really want to ask that question, don't you?
