My point is that just because it's being done doesn't mean we need to continue it. I mean, okay, I'm not taking this that seriously but we're talking about it, so I'll continue the thought. First you tell me to consider the source and let it go because of that, but then you tell me everyone does it so that should be fine. I'm just trying to lobby the lost cause of getting rid of the predictable cliches around here. "What?" and "You're all nerds" are my pet peeves. Hey, I bet I annoy people, too. I don't plonk anyone. I felt like pointing out something we see a lot of here that we don't have to, no matter who's saying it. As Shadarr pointed out, people do that too much on PC, too, me included. So I guess we're even.

CtrlV -----------

Seriously, MS is fucking software engr up though.  They are commoditizing software development.  People think programming means VB these days.  All these smarmy MBAs that got laid off from WCOM strut around with entrepreneurial ADHD blathering about how they can whip out "world class solutions" with a $25 buck/hr VB guy or by outsourcing to Mother Russia.  And I can't respond because they don't understand having to live with the same code for more than a year.  It's all disposable to them.  It's worthless!  These are the people protecting the future of American software.

I can't STAND the whole Martha Stewart Dream MS is selling.  Easy perfection.  You know what?  Perfection is NOT easy.  It's hard and it costs people their time, health and families and therefore it's IMPORTANT.  It's important to get software right, not just because people SUFFER when software fails, but because we are giving away the industry every time we fail to drive the quality curve.  Selling the perception that perfection is easy is setting us up for failure in the long run.

Was this supposed to be a rant?  I guess I've started ranting here.  Might as well finish.

It's as if the entire US tech industry is choosing to collectively drop the ball when it comes to software.  Software is now a Pop medium where we slap a new name on an old thing and it sells.  Just like rock and roll.

Funny how all those wasted years we spent dreaming about rock and roll imparted this slow-motion demonstration of how capitalism overpowers art every time.  We're just seeing it again in the software biz.  Dot NET is Adam Ant redux.

Caryn, and to a lesser extent, Dethstryk, her younger, impressionable sister

First you tell me to consider the source and let it go because of that, but then you tell me everyone does it so that should be fine.

See, now you're just being intentionally obtuse.

I'm just trying to lobby the lost cause of getting rid of the predictable cliches around here. "What?" and "You're all nerds" are my pet peeves. Hey, I bet I annoy people, too.

I don't disagree with you, on either count. This very discussion is an old cliche in itself, nearing the point of satire, rendering one taking part in it a contributor to the greater malaise. The problem: people post too much with too little to say. The solution: fresh and engaging discussions, or some act of god. The sad reality: most intelligencia would rather bitch about the philandering of the bourgeoise than actually offer a solution. The end result: bags of dicks for all the armchair Roberta Williamses.

Note that "stop doing that" is not a solution unless you can get everyone to agree to stop doing "that". All of this aside, I'm open to suggestions.

My clipboard bit was from the subject line of a level one tech support claim, BTW. We are vexed when we get calls concerning PC's that "won't bute up".

And I agree with Caryn, but I've railed about it before. I think the problem will correct itself when some of the regulars just get bored of the damn site and move on, leaving it to lapse into forlorn silence or perhaps be rejuvenated by people who haven't taken place in the same old discussions for the last five years or so.

I also still think the submission bin is a failure and the now persistent trolling is getting tiresome. I take it as a sign of boredom that so many of the regulars here engage the trolls, as they (the trolls) rarely have anything amusing or interesting to offer, even in a trollish sense. I'm sure one will read this and respond with some clever riposte. Too bad they'll never get a reply from me, poor little guys. :)

Or, it could be that it's all just why people actually come here. Because for some things in life, you really don't want change. Not even the people who bitch about it.

I mean, people bitch about the same things all the time, but things DO change here. Hardly anyone uses 'What?', including Warren. We've had all sorts of different, neat converstations of late. So naturally, the bitching will start up up as people instantly forget that.

Frankly, that idea scares me.

The thing I like most about The 'Crap is that it is something of an in-bred community. Its not a place with high turnover (or any turnover to speak of) of members who speak at each other to the point that they never develop a cohesive group of people one could consider friends/dysfunctionally family.

While much of the recycled comments are lame, I think they're just as much a part of this site as the superlative discussion.

If I wanted a forum where I hold no interest with any of the forum users, I'd spend more time at G4.

I don't necessarily disagree with that, LP. I wasn't trying to make a blanket statement about PC. And Warren has only given up on "What?" after being hounded about it. But hey, maybe I'm just jealous because I don't have a cool PC catchphrase of my own. I'm open to suggestions. :) <-- and a big fat "phhbttt!" to anyone who finds the emoticon annoying.

Bitching is a part of any forum that has a regular crowd. You fall into a rhythm, you get to know the personalities of those who post, you grow comfortable latching onto the same topics. It's how we got The List. And some of the stuff on The List is pretty funny. The nature of PC -- the predictable trolls, whining, personality clashes and often richly entertaining sidetrack discussions (really, the actual meat of the site), is what makes some people leave in disgust only to find themselves coming back a short time later. There's some neat stuff that evolves out of the "anything goes" style of topics that get posted here.

Having said that, I don't think it's fair to expect people with complaints to have to qualify their opinions by first admitting to all the wonderful things about PC.

BabiG -

Still looking for agents. The literary market is so slow-moving compared to the internet world. Frustrating, but not the end of the world. It'd probably help if I had some published short stories, but I've always avoided magazines for that same reason. Too slow, too slow. I like to move on with things.

27,000 words (roughly 150 pages) into the second book, of which my clipboard buffer was a small part.

This thread comes along after I was cleaning up old files on my webshare up at work. I remember seeing the ad and the lines just drew themselves as I stared at its colorful joy. I think I even went so far as to animate it, because I had 8 seperate pictures that slowly constructed the final image. I sent the final image link to a friend of mine over AIM, and I guess I haven't been very productive today since then, since it's still there. Damn, but I used to have a lot of free time on my hands to come up with stupid shit....ah, the good old days.

Coming late to the party

Ring Cannon

The modern-day equivalent to the Hailstorm. However, it’s principle of operation is reversed. Each barrel is active, and fired sequentially around the circumference, giving each barrel time to cool before the next shot. The superheated plasma charges it fires are only mildly effective on their own, but a Ring Cannon firing in full Helix mode can be devastating to an opponent.
Plasma charges degrade over a relatively short distance, so try to bring your target in close before firing.

Secondary fire pulse-fires each barrel simultaneously, but requires longer to recharge and cool between shots. Only use when you’re sure of your target.
