That was humorous. I wonder if the "anon" guy that was sticking up for him in the second thread was really just him.

Also, @Brice Richard said:
As for the comment regarding who owns the clipboard (it was suggested that USERS own the clipboard not developers) I think that's a ridiculous comment to make.
That's like saying drycleaners OWN your clothes when you take them in......well they don't....they simply charge for a service associated with SOMETHING you own.....NONE of us owns the clipboard...it's a temporary community data repository - nothing more, nothing less.
Could anything be more ridiculous?Finally, I know a thing or two about mailslots and named pipes (I believe they were referred to as named sockets in the comments). The idea is that you make a connection to another program, but you write to and read from it the same way you would a file. Not rocket science. Doesn't sound that interesting to me as a Java coder, though. In Java, all I/O are streams, and even network streams have an eof() function.
Even funnier about that quote is that his analogy is pretty much backwards. Users are the customers in the drycleaner analogy and they give their "clothes" to the "drycleaner" to keep, not to do destroy.
As far as the I/O, he even mentioned the registry. Depending on what he was doing, that might have actually been an ok choice, and certainly FAR better than the clipboard. (if not for those scary API calls).

RE: PS3 WTF
@CDarklock said:
I don't see the compelling value in a PS3, myself. I suppose "not Microsoft" has weight with some people, but I'm rather the opposite.
Personally, I bought mine for the BD player (having the gaming system is sort of a side-effect). The PS3 remains one of the best BD players to this date, and it's one of the cheapest. Can't go wrong there (assuming you have a want for BD).

RE: This loop will definitely terminate
@danixdefcon5 said:
Sarcasm aside, I think C didn't have true/false until later. Basically 0 = false, anything else = true.
Assuming sarcasm is truly aside here, C still doesn't have true/false and 0 is false/anything else true is used. C++ has true/false, but the original 0 is false paradigm still exists.

RE: Okay, SERIOUS WTF
You actually legally changed your name to match your D&D character!? Perhaps that persons internet name is also a D&D character belonging to a more sane person :o

RE: Design by committee
@CDarklock said:
No, efficiency would have been using the newly-available C# 3.0 "params" keyword. At the time, I didn't know about it at the time (C# 3 was, as I said, new)... but knowing about it now, we only needed two overloads for each function.
Uh.... the params keyword has been around since at least .NET 1.1.

RE: TOAD

@belgariontheking said:
I could not bring up another instance of TOAD while waiting for one query to finish.
I can, you can simply start the program again. Of course the default is the stupid windows standard behaviour to just raise the running window if the program already runs, but that can be changed. Strangely sometimes one of the windows can't be minimized any more and you have to move the window out of the desktop to hide it.Kind of just nitpicking, but this isn't standard Windows behavior. You have to write code to make this happen (not the other way around) - though, enough programs do it that it might give you that idea.

Perhaps we could just ask Morbii though.
It's actually the Norwegian metal band Immortal. It's the cover of their album "Blizzard Beasts".

RE: A short thread, a big wtf
Not sure if anyone noticed, but I believe this data structure would actually have to remove every element if a duplicate key came along that had a different value or vice versa :) (if you were to make sure that every key had a value that was in the value table and vice versa)
