Community! We're the smartest, nicest and most professional people around. Right? RIGHT???* And besides, I personally find the forums, article editor (though I only use it for pasting my content into the editor and minor touch-ups) to be well designed. Well, except for the Q&A forums, which I think are a horrible UX.
And frankly, while I could publish articles on other sites, CP has a professionalism that puts all the others to shame, IMHO.
* - I use SO for one-off things I don't want to memorize, I use CP for things I want to learn.

'zactly.
SO is for getting the one-liner you couldn't quite figure out. CP is for when you're actually interested in learning how things work.
If a developer only ever goes to SO...to me, that speaks volumes about him/her.

Yeah, and that was my point... if SO starts doing those things that people are complaining about like tutorials (which are basically the same as articles) then CP won't have anything unique going for it.
I do agree that the articles are good on CP, but personally they are really the only useful thing for me. The Q&A only very rarely come up in my searches, and even then it's often not a useful answer.
Also, SO has "Documentation" now... it's not quite the same... yet, but it could well be in the long term.
I don't really know what point I am trying to make anymore... I guess just that CP should be thankful that SO has more strict rules on their questions

Yup, but I'm sure the good spirited guy at SlackOverflow got his help in the end as well - after his constructive and polite request...

And yet the comment attached to this is, I think, pertinent:
Quote: As much as people on SO come across as condescending pricks, they often have a point IMO. Also, it's often a case that people don't read the guidelines of how to even ask a question, and it's because of SOs stringent guidelines that the content on there is so useful.
9/10 noobs need to learn to use google better and to learn more by trial and error - seriously.

True - but the most important comment/question has yet to be answered: "IS HE Eminem???"

Someone in my local Freecycle area is giving the below away - if anyone here is interested in it (for the cost of post/shipping) I'll try and grab it for you:Quote: This was my Solaris/Sun Ray lab and was all working prior to storing it in the loft a few years ago. Running Solaris 10.
This equipment was worth a lot of money back in the day (circa 2006) and is great for learning Unix/Solaris and to add to any collection of past cool hardware.
Lot includes
1xNetra X1 Server
1xSunRay 1G Thin Client (cool looking)
1xSunRay 170 (17" LCD client). This can also be used just as a second monitor as it has VGA input and output. Note the hinge is cracked so it has lost it's support but as you can see from the pics, works fine resting on the desk.
2xSunRay 2 clients (in original boxes)
1xSunRay 2FS client (not boxed)
1xSun Type 7 keyboard
1xSun Crossbow Mouse

... but I wonder if Windows will reject it for being too weak or if it'll be stroganoff??? 
I know, It's not Friday yet, but I couldn't resist it...

Damn it, you're right, I hadn't thought of that.
It's probably borscht to think of something else!

Yeah, I've always hoped for more Slackbladder, but it just wouldn't be the same without him...

Just after the shooting of the film when he returned to England, his part in the film was completed.
The Dutch film crew had a lot of respect for his performance and professional attitude, also as might be expected he was a lot of fun on the set

Had to go to the store today, and when I was there, a teenager was yelling at someone (his mother, I think), calling her all sorts of names. He then called her a 'Phallic Potato' and shoved her, then stormed off. The police had already been called, and arrested him as he was leaving the store.
Not what I expected to see (and hear) today.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???
