    I'd rephrase that as moving back toward search. Google wasn't always there, and even after it became popular, some time passed before the name was used as a verb. Personally, I Ask…

    Cheers for this. I'm old and that's why I thought it was BBCode. Markup is such a loose term that I couldn't figure out what the problem was. You've put it to rest now though, I ge…

    Thanks. Have to admit, I'm still confused, especially after reading the first sentence on that page... >Markdown is a lightweight markup language Clearly in over my head on this, I…

    Please explain why it's markdown. Is Reddit's link format not just BBCode [0]? Honest question, no snark. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBCode

    He already told you, left is up. The side of your case that has the motherboard's backplate (where you plug everything in) is the bottom. On the vast majority of towers, the plate …

    Reddit markup doesn't work on ycombinator. Use square brackets and a number to designate the link [0] then put the URL at the bottom of your comment. [0] https://www.reddit.com/r/S…

    Stop with the red herrings and address the actual argument.

    Semantics? Don't be daft... Speaking out against something is battling it, battle is a verb in this context. Both Oxford and Webster agree [0,1]. Forceful suppression of pseudoscie…

    I have to disagree. Many people are trying to suppress pseudoscience; not because we fear it is true, but because disinformation is harmful to society as a whole. For example, anti…

    Just a guess, but it's probably because PS and GIMP are huge projects with years of work put into them -by teams of people. This is one guy. Not saying I don't welcome some competi…

    It's not a straight face, it's a smirk, and they'll keep saying it so long as it bothers you. They'll happily eat dog shit if the opposition has to smell their breath. This is how …

    "its" is not the problem, the word "worse" is incorrect. EDIT: The original misguided pedant has now changed "worse" to "worst" in both instances; after downvoting me, of course.

    Arriving on the page, I'm prompted to run 11, no... 13 scripts. After allowing everything from BBC and reloading, the page is still borked and I'm prompted to run 34 scripts. All o…

    Just add /rss to the URL [0] Easiest way to find the RSS feed on most sites is to search for "RSS" in the page source; there's usually just one instance, and it's a direct link. Th…

    Thanks. You're correct and I overplayed it. It's clear that he's quoting the author, but racial tensions and identity politics have me running in paranoid mode these days. Forgot t…

    My VPS, in Iceland, had a racist hostname on one of their servers; they had no idea and were quite embarrassed. Just wanted to be sure you weren't in the same boat, because the slu…

    Yikes, one of those categories is not like the others. Seeing that you're an Aussie, you might not be aware, but folks in the US will instantly spot a nasty racial slur in your lis…

    No cars, in the real world, are driving around with significant coolant leaks. End of story. Talk to any repair shop. That's the crux of my argument. There is no scenario where one…

    Every modern IC engine (and the majority of old ones) operates with a pressurized cooling system; they absolutely will not function properly with a leak. The average operating temp…

    Thanks for clearing it up. It looks like certain groups are using terms in ways that I'm not accustomed to. Now I need new words. Damned kids and your identity politics!
