I waiting for the sequel. One of my favorite animated movies!

Several times today I have seen someone say this question is off topic for StackOverFlow and should be migrated to SuperUser. What the hell does it matter?

They're super picky about what goes where and adhering to the rules that are spread over multiple web pages. http://stackoverflow.com/help/on-topic http://stackoverflow.com/help/dont-ask

It's kind of like when somebody posts here asking about MS-DOS and everybody here lets them know that they don't really have a question about MS-DOS.

Personally, I like the amount of freedom I have here and on ss64 to actually just flat-out give somebody the code they're asking for rather than just pointing them in the right direction.

Low-level questions will attract a larger number of low-level readers, so this increment the possibility to receive a reply from a moron.

LOL! I'd love someone to prove this theory using math. The resulting theorem would become legendary in the forum world...

If Darwin was right, there would be no MORONS!

Don't forget to call this "The Aacini Principle".

He is right if you look at the Earth from the perspective of the vast universe. Morons exist only for the most minute amount of time, lol.

Yes! That will be the name! Now where can we find a mathematician?

I got down voted because of my Title! And the hyperlink I used that was fine was all wacky after his "edit". This is the ridiculous bs that happens on SO. http://stackoverflow.com/q/33215467/2282445 I'm pretty sure I did my due diligence.

Is that your question Matt?

Hmm. no, it's chopping off the last part when I use the URL tags. My question is here:

Some are born retarded, some clever, but we are all born dumb surely. And while some dumb people believe they are wise, the wise man is wise in that regard that he realizes how dumb he is.

It's known as the Dunning-Kruger effect.


I know I'm not infallible, and I often ask for information so the answer is appropriate and accurate, and doesn't have to changed 24 times.

I also tend to ask for information these days to see if the OP will reply at all.
There's little point in helping someone that will never read it, because they got help elsewhere or solved it themselves.



As for SO and the concept of the place - the flak that flies around the place would annoy me so much if I took it seriously.

I did take it seriously for a while - but there's no value in the rep system when you can post 20 good answers and 100 bad ones, and then accumulate 20,000 rep by never posting again - just because so many different new people keep upvoting your good answers.

My question is here:

I'll bet the fellow there wasn't kind to your votes because he went to all that trouble to edit your question, and you weren't deliriously happy about it.

My brain tells me we have talked about this subject before. Just cannot remember when.
