The picture and colour features sound novel, but I think every country had a standardized code that you could send, which would then be translated into the actual text on the receiving side before being printed and delivered: Indian standard telegram codes

In network forums for Norwegian librarians, there was a tradition for using Dewey codes in their arguments. I have even seen debates so heated that people threw Dewey insults at each other: You are nothing but a 564.68!
Maybe this was/is common in other languages as well. One good thing is that Dewey based arguments can be understood by anyone, regardless of language. Except that you must be fluent in the Dewey language

Had BB not made some incredibly stupid design decisions with their OS, I'd actually still be able to make use of my Playbook, like playing MP3s all day or showing my router's real-time bandwidth usage page.
But no, they've gone out of their way to make sure the display powers down to save the battery (even when plugged in), with no way of telling it not to do that--the longest it'll go, as I recall, is 10 minutes. I've seen all sorts of workarounds being discussed on many different forums, but even those, over the course of years, are no longer applicable or simply never worked for me.
I have an Android 4.x tablet that I can still use for these simple tasks. The Playbook is a comparatively nicer device, but has these artificial limitations built into it that render it completely useless.

Your choice...

Programming Joke of the day...

I don't find funny what others find funny.

Please only post things you actually create; do not repost/share anything which was created by others.

None of the above?
You have to remember that most of the regulars here are both adults (in some cases senior citizens) and developers (in many cases of long standing): they have heard most "programming jokes" many, many times before, and know how to find "funny video clips".
So if you want to be interesting, popular - whatever it is that you want - then posting stuff we already know isn't likely to do that ... Stop treating this as Twatter or FarceBook and you'll probably fit in better. Just a thought.

Instead of spending time daily on things which may seem unnecessary by others, better spend a quality time of a couple of months to produce a solid article on a programming topic of your choice. And post it.

No, I think the answer is: None of the above. As @OriginalGriff already mentioned, most of us have heard all the programming jokes we want. TBH you are more likely to be flagged as a spammer if you persist.

Quote: These might be bad or good, much like the Dad Jokes.
The Dad jokes were not Dad jokes, they were just bad.
Quote: but like memes do
Memes do not bring joy to (most) adults.Quote: And if you have any suggestions for themes of jokes, let me know.
Please stop.
You've had a couple of good suggestions here ...Amarnath S: Instead of spending time daily on things which may seem unnecessary by others, better spend a quality time of a couple of months to produce a solid article on a programming topic of your choice. And post it.
Richard MacCutchan: No, I think the answer is: None of the above. As @OriginalGriff already mentioned, most of us have heard all the programming jokes we want. TBH you are more likely to be flagged as a spammer if you persist.
OriginalGriff: So if you want to be interesting, popular - whatever it is that you want - then posting stuff we already know isn't likely to do that ... Stop treating this as Twatter or FarceBook and you'll probably fit in better. Just a thought.
Personally I was thinking along the same lines of Richard - and almost flagged you as a troll. Others may be less patient

If you're learning programming in school I suggest posting a daily this is what I learned today can anyone comment, improve or extrapolate.
You'd get a much friendlier crowd.
The less you need, the more you have.

I'd imagine that there would be lots of 'interesting' comments if they began posting something like this.

If he posted in the Lounge, sure. But posting in the appropriate programming language discussion might better received.
Keep Calm and Carry On

Heck no, actually I think the teacher flaming interesting comments could be funny, at least for a few days.

I think what people try to tell you is that you there is 2 problem with your attempt at communication
- it's a website about people interested in programming, mostly in a practical professional fashion, it's not clear what you doing here...
- most people here are well past their teenage years (professional programmer, you know) and, well, they don't have the same sense of humor or interests..

I hope you soon find yourself free of the compulsion to post any whatever-of-the-day, and find you can use the psychic energy freed up to do more constructive, meaningful ... things.
cheers, Bill
