      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 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:

            One problem I have is the inconsistency between the 'Questions' view and the default homepage view, it's different, and logically it should not be. Took me a while to figure out why the site was looking and behaving so different ;P

              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:

                    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.

                      But don't you have that here too. :) Seriously, as it becomes more popular people will start having their own ideas on how it should behave which will lead to some of the same type of voting issues we see here.

                          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)

                            IMO recapatcha (as SO uses) is pretty good.

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

                                      Wasn't there a site from a year back that allowed you to read and vote on IT-related news?

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

                                          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.
