What induces nerd rage in you?

Yeah, beat your, ah, protein. Never your wrap!

Bahimiron:

There’s a wrap place nearby called Beat Da’Wrap.

I’ve got a lot of problems with this name.

Is it near a police station and / or courthouse? Because if so, I’m ok with it.

I hate people who say “Even bad press is good press” and then fail to reiterate that non-point when things like the PSN fiasco happen.

It’s building brand awareness! I mean, now everyone knows who Sony is! They’ll be more likely to think of Sony when making future electronic purchases. They’ll think, “Man, Sony can’t guard data for shit. I’m going to buy an Xbox.”

There’s security in spacebucks. If you buy them off the rack. With cash.

A TV show called Supah Ninjas. SIGH.

Misunderstanding analogies.

Person one says, in effect: A:B :: C:D

Person two replies: A != C

…and all further attempts to communicate that the comparison was between a pair of relationships, not a pair of terms from those relationships, founder on the same rock.

People who say ‘founder on the rock’ instead of ‘flounder on the rock’.

Founder

Flounder

I’m sure there’s an analogy in the making…

Someday all you bastards are going to call Rift Rift. Not RIFT. Not Rifts. Not whateverthefuck wrong thing you can’t help yourself from typing.

Aaaaaaaaaaauuuuuughghghghghgh.

Also: games that crash all the time. And let me tell you, prerelease builds do not improve the situation.

Bill_Dungsroman · 2011-05-12T15:01:08.000Z

I think I am pretty sure I know by now that if I choose to reload a prior saved game that I will LOSE FOREVERRRRRRRRRRRRR whatever unsaved portion of game I currently have, even and especially if it’s zero because I just saved anyway. BUT YOU CAN REMIND ME EVERY. GODDAMNED. TIME. I RELOAD. EVERY GAME EVER.

GatInDaHat · 2011-05-12T18:19:02.000Z

when I run into c# code like the following:

string beavis = string.Empty;
…
buttHead = beavis.ToString();

actually ran into this today:

while( i=0; i < 1; i++)
{
// - do stuff (once)
}

string boofMe = string.Empty;
boofMe = sexyTime();

Nerd Rage of the day:

Accountants who make “Forms” in Excel that require manual entry all over the place because SUM is the limit of their skills. Come on.

Second place goes to people who make “Forms” in Word and do it via holding down the underscore key, and then don’t even put a proper paragraph break at the end.

I swear, people’s everyday use of Word and Excel is equivalent to people using a screwdriver to hammer nails into things.

It’s a fair cop.

I’m still trying to figure out why you thought anyone would be talking about fish.

Add/Remove Programs in Windows 7 has a handy feature that lets you filter your installed programs by publisher. It is, however, somewhat less handy when you’re dealing with an Adobe product:
