When puns start they SNOBOL out of control. I'm afraid what we've seen is just a Prolog.

Man, these puns are a total Brainfuck. I need a cup of Java and maybe this headache will go away.

Ask PASCAL, perhaps he knows.

(I had to. It's the only other prog. language I learned besides BASIC and HTML...)

Pilchard123 · « **Reply #304 on:** 26 Jan 2013, 15:13 »

We totally have to try an IRP thread. I'll start on tomorrow unless someone gets there first.

Sidhekin · « **Reply #305 on:** 26 Jan 2013, 16:55 »

Please. HTML is no programming language – it's a markup language.

Postscript is though. It's even Turing complete. Reportedly, there have even been Postscript viruses.

LoliBot, is your name Josephine? I had a friend growing up who had that exact problem...she'd become Joseph when taking standardized tests!

Nope--I'm a Stephanie.

So I became Stephan on my standardized tests. XP It was really upsetting when it happened the first time in first grade. I asked my teacher what to do, and he told me there was nothing I could do. T_T The annoyance didn't end until high school, if I remember correctly.

Don't be silly, her name is LoliBot! And the male version is Lolib.

It's my middle name.

All this punning really quite REXX a conversation; perhaps there's a PL/1 to cure us.

Or barely out of the Assembler line.

Our puns are Modula, for easy self-assembly.

It's not my fault that they call me Tim! (Does referencing count as avoiding quoting? I don't know. I'm not entirely sober.)

I wasn't paying attention to this thread, if I had, I would have come to the Ada you sooner. As it is, I'll have to content myself with making Smalltalk.

It's just getting too TeX-nichal for me.

BASIClly this is the best pun-war ever.

cesium133 · « **Reply #324 on:** 27 Jan 2013, 09:43 »

Some of the puns require some Assembly.

"Punical"? Yeah, I'd say we've reached the punical, the absolute summit. No place to go but down from here.

I dunno. We'll have to wait and SSE. We might be able to push a few more out, though the odds are stacked against us.

Ha! You'll never SSE your money. You might get half, at a push, but the odds are stacked against it.

pwhodges · « **Reply #329 on:** 27 Jan 2013, 13:30 »

Silly, you don't kill threads, you kill processes! (All the child threads will die when you do that, mind you.)

And, if you killed this process, more child threads would die than in soldiers in Gettysburg.

Google Zoe Brain. You can contact me via my blog.
I have a fairly high Internet profile....

So, I did.

Wow. There are a lot of assholes out there who really get offended just because you're who you are. You mentioned earlier, in other threads, how fragile some world views are, and that anything challenging them can provoke a violent reaction, but it's very different to see that in action.

My condolences, and hats off to you for getting through the bullshit thrown your way.

Fuck. I googled the name too. The first hit was this blog (http://gendertrender.wordpress.com/tag/zoe-brain/).
And I was stupid enough to read that vitriol and the comments section. God, I'm depressed now.

I find it hilarious, personally. Plese don't feel depressed! The link to the "Fake Intersex/Fake Rocket Scientist" bit is amazing; the intellectual knots some tie themselves up in when confronted with eyewitness accounts that contradict their cherished beliefs are astounding.

A bit saddening that several people devote so much time, so much of their lives, trying to figure out ways to hurt me, when they could be devoting their considerable intellects to making the world a better place, but on the other hand, it does no-one any harm. I'd rather they go after me than others more vulnerable. I have an ego so big it enters the room at least ten minutes before I do, and realised before my teens that I'd be "the girl with the wonderful personality". I live by the advice I give to other rape victims - they can violate your body, but they can't humiliate you without your permission. You can refuse to give it.

Sometimes I feel as if I should pretend to be hurt - for they're obviously giving it their best shot, and to have someone refuse to be hurt by that shows massive disrespect. I don't want to disrespect them, they're already leading pretty unpleasant existences, I prefer to reduce, not increase, the misery in the world, especially of those already hurting. On the other hand, they're adults, and to pretend like that would be showing even more disrespect, and I'm not good enough an actress to keep a story like that straight anyway. I guess there are some people I just can't help. I can wear a cape and leotards with my panties on the outside, but I'm not Supergirl.

Summary - when they're going after me, they're not going after others who they really could hurt. So I am content.

ZoeB · « **Reply #344 on:** 29 Jan 2013, 02:18 »

As for languages - I'm in the Ada camp myself.

I can recommend the Lovelace Tutorial for programmers.

For those new to programming, this one is good. A "Hello World" program is in chapter 2.

Programs in many languages can be run online, without need to download a compiler, via http://ideone.com/

techkid · « **Reply #345 on:** 29 Jan 2013, 02:42 »

I respect your stance, ZoeB. Don't bow down, and don't back down. It's something I told my friend when he came out as being gay. Something along the lines of "you're not just fighting to live, you're fighting to choose your life". He's done pretty well for himself since (better, since the prick landed the sweet IT gig (we're best mates, but you couldn't tell by the way we act around and treat each other)).

Man. All this programming talk... I gotta go. I need to PHP.
