if you would just start checking array bounds you wouldn’t get those exceptions

I know…I don’t get them when I’m concentrating, but it’s silly to suggest you can go through your entire programming life without getting at least 1…

Uh, if you would just start checking array bounds you wouldn’t get those exceptions. Just use the builtin length property (or method, it’s been forever since I’ve used Java) of arrays when iterating, ie:

for (int i=0; i < array.length; i++)

and bam, no more ArrayOutOfBoundsExceptions.

NPEs, you just need to check your references for NULLs.

Srsly, man.

“Is he a sport hater or does he simply disapprove of the male reproductive organs (or cashews?) of a man named sport?”

I nearly fell out of my chair. Then, I looked at the picture again, and came even closer.

Also, racism parallels bigotry against homosexuals/Jews/Mormons very closely; does that mean he makes himself sick? Almost sick but not quite?

This kind of mindless hatred is frustrating. It makes one feel compelled to smack the angry protester, but doing so would only make oneself a bigger target.

Anyway, there’s my two bits.

Hehe, apologies. No, I indeed didn’t. I only quickly skimmed through it. When a friend sent the article, I was trying to figure out why Debian is having massive lag all of the sudden at every-2-hours-or-so intervals that won’t quit until I hard reset. ;)

For that matter, why kicker was taking up 1 gigabyte of memory a few hours ago! Haha.

“..in addition, am I the only one amused by “and mormons”, as if it was added at the last second to a rant list?”

I guess you didn’t read the other half of my article :P

The apostrophe in “sport’s nuts” amuses me. Is he a sport hater or does he simply disapprove of the male reproductive organs (or cashews?) of a man named sport?

..in addition, am I the only one amused by “and mormons”, as if it was added at the last second to a rant list?

/insert hate list
… and mormons!

Thanks for pointing out the “whoever made that sign was probably very computer savvy” thing, that (though it certainly should have!) never even occurred to me. On that note, there’s quite a few different fonts and styles on that sign! Do we have a closet computer freak here?
