If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Hey, give the kid some credit. Rather than doing something really disgusting (like changing his major to marketing), he stuck with it and found a different way to learn how to program.
As a C++ adept, I can freely testify that using it to learn programming would be like learning how to chop onions with a chainsaw.

Just for the time of my college assignments of course No one meant that learning C++ is a waste of time. It was only waste of time when I had to send my assignments in java Swing and instead on focusing on that i learned C++.
Sorry for the late reply, I wasn't active on the forum

My PM messaged me this morning:
PM: just want to confirm the internal test plan with you.
Me: testing is for those who lack confidence in their programming ability
PM: we're planning on testing first, following,,, come on man, don't make me laugh in the middle of a sentence ...
just doing my part to help people get through these stressful time using humor ....
EDIT: Removed an internal acronym that causes the most buzz in this thread .....

But what is OSOW testing?

Apparently they have advanced to FLAs. According to DDG it's oversize/overweight but I tend to think that's not it for them.
"They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"

I’m not sure if that statement is 100% correct but it is 100% useless.
Are you from the Microsoft support desk?
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

This is the second time you have given me a ration of bullshit.
Are the designated a**hole here or self-appointed?

Roll out the wrong side of it today did we?
The acronyms meant that without a google, the comment translated to "They've got something advanced. someone reckons something is too big or heavy, I reckon they'd be better off with something else"
Nah, bugger that - I'm not goggling those two, to try to make the sentence feel that I didn't overspend on it. Remembering of course, that this is the response to a question that asked what a different acronym meant..
That's actually rather funny if you're getting poopy over this, thinking the microsoft jibe to be unfair.

If that was a ration of bullshit - I hope you enjoyed it!
Jesus man - it was supposed to be funny. If you think I'm picking on you try reading any of my other posts and see how many contain anything serious.
I'll try to remember that you are humour impaired (I know I am!) from now on and try not to make you pop.
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

OSOW is Oversize Overweight, I had intended to remove the acronym so that it wouldn't be confusing ... but obviously missed it in my exuberance to post! 
This refers to the business unit the software is for, e.g., internal end user testing.

You can't fail tests you don't make.

So very true!

OSOW testing?
Over-size, over-weight? 
|

That's the only meaning I could find, but it didn't seem to make sense.

Elon Musk's views on acronyms -> Acronyms Seriously Suck - Elon Musk · GitHub[^]
Not because I am a fan of Elon Musk, but because I actually agree with what he says here.

Some acronyms speed up communication ... if everyone knows what they mean.
I was a contractor at Glaxo-Welcome, and in my first group meeting folks talked about sending and NDA to the FDA (US Food & Drug Administration). I came from Federal government contracting, and NDA meant Non-Disclosure Agreement, an agreement to not reveal business information to 3rd parties. Signing an NDA before starting employment was (and still is) a standard practice.
So ... why would GW send an NDA to the FDA -- it should be the other way around?
I didn't ask, to avoid derailing the meeting, but asked my supervisor right after the meeting.
NDA meant New Drug Application.
Since then, I always clarify acronyms and other terms to ensure everyone knows what they mean!

I think Musk makes the good point that some acronymns are inevitable and useful as you also point out.
But as you also point out the majority of us know an NDA as a non-disclosure agreement.
I do use acronyms myself, a very topical acronym being RNA.
But I do avoid creating new ones in order to abbreviate communication - I find myself frequently asking one particular individual what the acronym he is using means, and it turns out that he makes them up on the spot.
So I tend to agree with Musk that communication is about helping someone understand concepts you are trying to convey rather than a competition where you confound the other person or have in-group terms.

KAS:ST - Hell On Earth[^]
It's been a few weeks since the last SOTW.
I've been busy, mostly with having vacation, but I'm back and ready to listen to some old and new tracks and share them with my loyal fanbase on here
Since I've been gaming a lot in my vacation you may have expected some game soundtrack, but nothing could be further from the truth.
KAS:ST is a techno duo from Paris, France.
They own the Flyance label, which means nothing to me, but apparently they're big shots in their scene.
I had never heard of them until YouTube recommended me this track.
Apparently, this is also one of my cousin's most listened tracks of last year.
Love this track, definitely going to listen more of them!

This takes me back to high school days when all I listened to was Techno. This would have been a welcome addition to break up my countless repeating of The Crystal Method's Legion of Boom album.
What was on your gaming radar during vacation?

This is awesome.
On an another level, and since you seem to love this kind of music, did I ever brag about having been in this crowd[^] ?
