Re: "What did you just say?"
ALL code has bugs. It's that simple. It's one of the laws of code. You find and remove the ones you can, and hope the ones you don't know about, and therefore cannot even fathom what they might look like, stay dormant, never to be summoned.
End-users are VERY good at summoning them. That's why you get testers... They're a lot like end-users.
Rarely, usually during or after a period of crunch-time, I'll have trouble remembering the English for something, but know exactly how to say what I mean in C++. Usually, I just say "Uhh..." for a second and remember, but one time I was talking to other coders, so I figured "what the heck, I'll say it in code. They understand code."
They did not miss a beat, but the artist listening in turned to face us, and said "What?!", as if I had suddenly gone retarded. One of my friends I was talking to mentioned that he hadn't even realized I had slipped from English into C++. (We were all in crunch time together.)
I totally forget what I was talking about at the time.Last edited by Thajocoth; 2010-05-21 at 03:28 PM.

Re: "What did you just say?"
"The key error in making something completely foolproof is underestimating the ingenuity of complete fools."
No matter what you do to perfect anything, there will always be that one idiot who goes and tears down your system because they find a fatal error and exploits it. That's why game makers beta test. That's why I have my brother who is a future lawyer look over any system I make to exploit the flaws. That's why Darwin's theory makes sense, because there is always a way to cheat and go around. (Please avoid turning this into an evolution discussion thread. Although i believe the theory, I understand that many of you don't. Calm down, it was just an example.)Currently RPG group playing: Endworld (D&D 5e. A Homebrewed post-apocalyptic supplement.)

What's wrong with me coloring stuff? Embrace the COLOR!!!
It's a problem with my keybord. Sometimes it capatalizes "i" sometimes it doesn't. I'll work on it.
Person 1: You know, there are a lot of creatures on this planet that work together in order to benifit the both of them. They exsist in a symbiotic relationship.

Re: "What did you just say?"
Nnno... Symbiosis is a specific... Actually, Wiki finds that the definition is in flux. I would've said it's obligate mutualism, but apparently it can refer to all close relationships between species, or as a synonym for mutualism.

It's what we were told.

Re: "What did you just say?"
I can't find a good video or anything, but there was a contestant on "who wants to be a millionaire", and they used a 50/50. The question was, "which is the biggest." She got it down to an elephant or the moon - and picked an elephant.
Sorry for incoherency, for whatever reason my head isn't working perfectly right now... I think my brain has a leak.

Re: "What did you just say?"
I searched for videos before. It's not a true event... They just edited the question and some erased the audio and put their own voice.

Re: "What did you just say?"
I can only recall one anecdote at the moment.
During History Class at 17 years old;
Teacher:*talking about the Great Fire of Rome and how many at the time blamed it on the Christians*
Girl: Um, was that AD or BC?
Teacher: ...
Class: ...
Girl: ...Oh, right

Re: "What did you just say?"
She needed to think about it for a few seconds, at least she understood then that she had had a brainfart. Even that "Common Era" still uses the same years as AD and BC. Some times one should really try to think for a few seconds before one opens one's mouth, especially in class. But, better to ask an ignorant question than remain ignorant I guess. She was kind of a ditz though, there's another anecdote about her that I can't remember right now

Re: "What did you just say?"
It's too long and too commonly referenced to not have nicknames and abbreviations. 'Pedia is probably better. "The Other Wiki" is great on TVTropes but is really more of a nick than an abbreviation and doesn't make sense out of context anyway.

Re: "What did you just say?"
Just remembered a great quote from my old history teacher and a classmate of mine, some 4-5 years ago now. We were talking about the U.S and JFK when the teacher goes;
"And the shooter is believed to have been a man named Osbourne."
The whole class starts to exchange glances, and my friend says;
"Umm, wasn't it Oswald?"
"Oswald? Oswald... Yes! Harry Oswald."
"Lee Harvey Oswald?"
"Lee Harvey Oswald..."

Re: "What did you just say?"
but if you pay attention to the ad for the pills, they often times cure you of something they claim to occasionally have as a side effect.
like the migrane pills that can cause sudden migranes, the asthma meds that cause asthma related death, depression medication that causes thoughts of suicide, the list goes on.
