    Revelation… like two sisters in sackcloth breathing fire and punishment on their enemies?

    …Or is that the wrong book…?

    Full disclosure: I still do not really know what region you live in, until the revelation today.

    I'm on the other side of North America! %___%

    …Okay so I'm at the eastern foot of the big rockies.

    You can always make me use Firefox, Opera, or Safari, though. Especially Safari. (You know why.)

    Teehee

    I have had it with Chrome after months of default browser-ship

    As I probably won't be able to convince you to surf with a browser other than IE, I doubt you would be able to convince me to switch even to Chrome, much less IE/Safari/Opera – From Mozilla Firefox that is.

    And whoa, getting rid of version numbers in a program was a really bad decision on their part, and surprising considering they're a non-profit.

    You have to see this, especially the end part :).

    PHP had a built-in function that got deprecated and removed for security vulnerabilities called magic_quotes. This immediately came to mind
    Spoiler:

    Magical quotation marks -___-

    For a while C/C++ intimidated me more than calculus, so I'm working my way there by doing recreational projects in VB/C# and PHP, those being based off of the original significantly. Trust me, its not something many can jump into lol.

    Reading that, it reminded me that 'for' and 'while' are commands in PHP (and I'm thinking C as well). Mildly ironic.

    I eventually will have to deal with C++. It's in the course!

    My dream is to one day master C. For programmers both new and old, that's like getting a red sash in Chinese kung fu, or a black belt in multiple more stereotypical martial arts.

    So much of everything developers like me and pseudo-developers like you use is pratically stolen from C syntax-wise, lol... especially C# and obviously C++.

    I gather you like to mess around with CSS, so I'd like you to look at this sample C program.
    Spoiler:
    #include <stdio.h>

    main()
    {
    int n, c;

    printf("Enter a number\n");
    scanf("%d", &n);

    if ( n == 2 )
    printf("Prime number.\n");
    else
    {
    for ( c = 2 ; c <= n - 1 ; c++ )
    {
    if ( n % c == 0 )
    break;
    }
    if ( c != n )
    printf("Not prime.\n");
    else
    printf("Prime number.\n");
    }
    return 0;
    }
    Look at some of the lines, and especially the braces. CSS took those tools and used them to store values within properties for styling markup languages, namely HTML.

    Yo dawg, I heard you like stack overflows, so I put a stack overflow in your stack overflow, so you can overflow while you overflow.

    A stack overflow error caused by too many stack overflow errors in a compiler, being solved at Stack Overflow.
    That is irony.

    I think I'll be using it once it goes all live later in the year.

    I think I'm used to Windows 8 and can live with it on a regular computer now.

    Beat the iPad...

    :)

    Sometimes it goes something about sphinxes, though, if the font's not a modern vector font.
