This only servers to confirm my hypothesis that bitches get stitches.

Frankly, I'm actually kind of shocked to learn that he was ever in x86. How did you guys make such a big mistake?

I thought the phrase was snitches get stitches...

Also @Ender: Does your name come from the book Ender's game by any chance? (Very good book and I like your s/n =))

Hm, what's going to happen with Mozilla Suite? Business as usual?

I believe Mozilla refactored FireFox ages ago, I don't believe it has any bearing on them.

...do a search on his recent posts...

The most common flaw in the ideology of voting principles among members within x86 is how people believe someone needs to do a specific deed of wrong doing to deserve to be voted out. Someone with a consistently negative, unproductive attitude, or even ignorance and stupidity can cause much more harm to the health of the community than a person who broke a single rule, no matter how 'important'.

A great example of this would be the voting out of Zorm. Yes, he broke a very necessary forum rule by sharing private member forum information with a non-member. The real question is: did he inflict more harm upon the community's reputation than Ersan, or even Gamesnake? The answer is obviously no. Yet, people are willing to defend Ersan and Gamesnake by saying something such as (not making any direct quote in order to maintain the privacy of the member forum), "He didn't do anything wrong. The issue at hand isn't a good reason for voting him out."

More people need to start looking at the bigger picture.

In reference to the Zorm issue:

Yes he did inflict more harm upon MY reputation as he let TehUser frame me. At the time I was part of the community as well. What's done is done though, I really couldn't careless at this point--we all move on =)

GO TEAM ZEROFORCE GO!

haha ZeroX, glad you still somehow represent Zeroforce in your signature although that site has long gone and died now. Been a year or more since it just dropped out. I don't think anyone appreciated it as much as I did but who knows.

Oh that's cool newby, I was just pondering if it was still there haha.

Sup networks. I don't really see why that made you leave, but then I barley remember that episode.

I don't REALLY remember either Krazed. What's done is done though =). I am sure there's posts in the private member's forum with the full story.

Calculators and address books are easy/fun.

I've been coding for a while, I can take something a bit harder than that

When I'm first starting on a language, even I start with little programs like that. Just a couple, enough to get comfortable with the syntax.

When I first start, I do basic stuff, see how it works command line wise or simple tests. After I get the hang of it, I code something hard on purpose.

General Programming / About to dig into Python

« on: December 30, 2007, 04:47:42 am »

So I am deciding to dig into Python now, just bought a $30 Python 2.5 book, has close to 1000 pages. Pretty interesting. I can't be bothered to learn C/C++ and Python seems right in my department as I love hack, crack, web dev. Plus I think I love the fact that Python is interpretive and dynamically typed.

I am in rut as far as what project I could do....suggestions? (nothing web dev related)

Still saddened by that bullshit TehUser, Zorm experience which made me leave x86 =\
