The Testing Chat III: The Time of Great Chatting

[adr]

seriously though independence day was a great film and i don't give a fuck what anybody says

will smith punched a motherfucking alien in the face

in the face

if that's not all american i don't know what is

[RyanThunder]

I'd shit on it myself if I still posted there.

[Flagg]

It will take one post.

And to be fair I'd probably be the one making that post as I loath patriotism.

I just loath rank hypocrisy more. I mean for fucks sake, it's Austrians saying Hitler wasn't all bad. They shouldn't even be allowed to say the fucking word.

[Oxymoron]

Which word in particular ? It's a whole sentence after all.

Technically he punched it in its powered exoskeleton. Remember, it's SDN. You have to nitpick.

[Darksi4190]

Also note, by "completely un-ironic," I mean a thread asking about people's barbecues and what parades they're going to and stuff. I'm sure someone will come along and smugly say some shit about "Lol lets celebrate the evil empire" at some point, but i'm not going to lay out obvious bait if I can help it.

[RyanThunder]

I'd try to make classy shits though.

Like none of this rar eval empiur stuff. Just rag on your dysfunctional political system that throws its people under the bus while they cheer about it. How their vaunted free enterprise projects it's own failings massively on socialist solutions that have none of those problems. How they socially engineer their society with rampant advertising and vapid pop culture.

etc.

Ok, i've seen people talk about this before, but isn't it unfair to single out America in this regard? Contrary to popular opinion, we are not the only country in the world with commercialism and advertising.

"Hitler", dumbass.

so one of my clients gets web page designs back from the designers and then EVERY TIME is all like "remove the space" and "tighten it up"

then, invariably, other people look at it and say "the interface is kinda cluttered"


ugh. but whitespace is the only thing he's willing to remove. once a feature or whatever is up there, no matter how fucking awful it is, we can never kill it

just remove some more whitespace then it will all fit.



oh yeah and last month he read a blog post about "responsive web design" which is where your site responds to different sized screens. i always thought that was just called "not horribly incompetent web design" but buzzwords yay

well anyway in response to this, we didn't start removing shit, no, remember, no "feature", no matter how bad, ever gets removed

nope, he started adding even more shit to the wider screens just so it can disappear on narrower screens

then decided that's awesome and it needs to be on all pages and sizes

so resize that content down

and kill the whitespace


ugh

Actually, you're right. That applies more to capitalism as implemented in general.

Which America pushes as the ideal solution for managing an economy, so...

Well, he IS their most famous citizen, so I guess they get to have some pride in him ?

[evilsoup]

Austria also produced Ahnuld, I think that balances things out a bit?

[Oxymoron]

El Governator ?

I'm not sure it really goes in the direction of balance

So Windows 7 told me it's time to get Internet Explorer 10 so I figured, why not?

So I do, it restarts and tells me one of my other eight updates failed (a security update for IE9 lolz) and now I'm starting up IE and HOLY FUCK WHAT IS THAT SCROLLBAR???

I opened up a folder and thank Christ my old scrollbar is still there for that. But is that ugly thing really what Windows 8 uses? Jesus Christ I will never update Windows for as long as I live...

[adr]

yeah the scrollbar looks pretty fucking weird

everything else is pretty good tho. i liek it well enough

[RogueIce]

I think the New Tab button is incredibly uninspired and a downgrade from IE9's, but that's fairly minor.

I'm tempted to try out that Tracking Protection set to Block Everything just to fuck with the advertisers, but I don't know if it would break anything else.

Producing a guy who stated admiration for Hitler, had a Nazi dad, had a Nazi fuck at his wedding, and sexually assaulted women on the sets of his mostly bad movies makes up for 12 million gassed people?

You wanna get your fucking mind blown? Imagine Arnold doing Banes dialogue from TDKR.

[evilsoup]

that might have salvaged that film

You really are a fucking retard.

[timmy]

FUCKIN ZING!

[Flagg]

FUCKIN ZING!

Sometimes you don't insult someone you just tell them the truth and it sounds insulting.

[timmy]

Uh...

Post delay. That was supposed to be in response to Soup's post

Can we all just enjoy the moment?
