I told some guy, the bug is not in gcc, but his understanding of the code, and left the resolution of this misunderstanding to the OP. Seems all the users on stackoverflow wants to be spoonfed. Maybe they should call it spoonfed-with-rails.com :laugh:

If it wasn't for the post earlier[^] about bugs in compilers I would have agreed with you, but maybe someone's modified the gcc source code to automatically insert a bug when it compiles itself.

I had some fun too, until 2 idiots said my answer was not in the spirit of the site.... :doh:

And another problem. You cant post 2 comments in less than 30 seconds... Also after that 'warning', the damned site asked me to do a capatcha to verify my humanity! :mad:

It's easy to defeat captures, you just write a site of dubious content, and provide prospective viewers a quick capture before allowing them access to said dubious content. Only, the capture is not generated by you, it's copied from the target victim site, so when your user solves the presented capture, you forward it directly to your target victims site. Too easy. We need something new and better. (Probably the reason for the 30 second post restriction)

You're right. These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets.

Living in Florida, I know...it's definately worse, but at least here (CP) we admit that there are problems.

Wow. StackOverflow[^] is really addicting. Once you start, you can't stop (trying to) answering questions. Seriously, it seems a cool and useful website.
If you truly believe you need to pick a mobile phone that "says something" about your personality, don't bother. You don't have a personality. A mental illness, maybe - but not a personality. - Charlie Brooker My Photos/CP Flickr Group - ScrewTurn Wiki

I've been using it during the beta. Works great. You can literally get answers within minutes, if not seconds. It's not all roses, though. The "fastest gun in the west" problem is something Jeff needs to address: people simply answer the fastest and shortest in hopes to be awarded the correct answer, more points, more badges. Many questions aren't truly answered and because some "fastest gun" answer, your question leaves the "unanswered questions" area, causing far fewer folks to look at it, causing you to end up with a question with no good answer.

I can see the website turning into garbage after a while. Soon, cliques will form which will mass-upvote/downvote other people, regardless of the answer. An elite group will soon control the website and the quality of material will be dictated by a few. It happens with most "user-generated content" sites... take Digg for example.

My foremost critique is that it's an overload. It's very hard to filter by tags when there are sixteen billion tags you may be interested in.

Yep, very impressive. I wonder how they managed to get so much traffic in just a couple of days.

And the 'Jeff' factor.
Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoloy card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game UNO.
In the movie "The Matrix", Chuck Norris is the Matrix. If you pay close attention in the green "falling code" scenes, you can make out the faint texture of his beard.
Chuck Norris actually owns IBM. It was an extremely hostile takeover.
