Merger?
20th March 2009

Meh, I've said this many times and I'll voice myself again: I don't think that BC is the holy grail. Its remains are dated and irrelevant (many of us have stranded Blitz for anything but prototyping). Also, it was a different community with different membe*snip*

IBM to buy Sun Microsystems for $7 billion

No, I doubt it. If they would start charging for people to use Java, that would be the death of it. I don't like this either, though. Like Instinct I'm not fond of these everyone buys everyone schemes, but there's little you can do about it apart from comp*snip*

How do they get away with this kind of stuff ?

It's a bit of a rip-off not to include batteries.

Forum Ideas

Actually, there are two search options already. But I'll be honest and say that the Google one is cheap and the one you find on the fourm page is awful.

Forum Ideas
16th March 2009

1) I think that could be useful, as well as the ability to move forum topics into the links section (which I've wanted to do several times).
2) I think that real textual motivations/explanations are far better feedback than a number ever will be.

What does it actually equal? I see four possible solutions.

[li]0/0=undefined, that's what the calculator says. Boring. Since there is ambiguity I guess that this is the right answer, but I still don't like it.[/li]

The implementation complexity isn't what we're referring to when saying "keep it simple," I'd imagine that it's merely a case of regex search 'n' replace.

That theme engine looks exceedingly complex for a site such as SoCoder. Probably useful if there's a team of dedicated designers working with a deadline, but as of now I'd say that plain old CSS would suffice. Although I do agree that the HTML of this site*snip*

Still working on my language. Not that there's much work being done, though. I have only coded briefly this week, since other stuff has just seemed more interesting than programming. Next week I'm going on vacation, and I'm not wasting it away on keyboard *snip*
