#42Before I click, just a quick bet with myself this excellent question has been closed. [edit] yep, locked. Thanks NullUserException! Now another quick bet with myself that someone will reply to this comment defending S.O.s repeated closure of interesting questions.
Looks like I already won my bet that someone on HN was going to bitch and moan about closed questions again. Surely you can make a good case for it on meta.stackoverflow.com?
Huh. I was pretty sure this was one question everyone could understand was off-topic, but I guess I was wrong.
Interestingly, this HN submission is illustrating the original reason Jeff Atwood locked the post in 2009 - nobody can be bothered to even read the first page before posting their own joke.

#43There are three kinds of people in the world: the ones who understand binary and the ones who don't.
That's a weird non-joke version. The ones I know are: The usual: There are 10 kinds of people in the world, those that understand binary and those that don't. Then there was: There are 11 kinds of people in the world, those that understand binary and those that don't. Which is a riff on: There are 3 kinds of people in the world, those who can count, and those who can't. Then along came: There are 10 kinds of people i…

who understand binary and those who confuse it with Gray code.Re: What is your best programmer joke?

No one's complaining about the lack of cat photos and memegenerator links on Hacker News, but here we are again decrying Stack Overflow trying to keep its signal to noise ratio high.
The historical lock is an appeasement for those who like to binge on candy all day long and not realise a site built on 90% candy is no place for quality.
You're laying bets all over the place. How about putting forth a cogent argument why these type of questions need to reside on Stack Overflow and not on reddit or Hacker News?

Of the 20+ pages already there, no one has yet posted the funny one from xkcd or Dilbert. No other site on the Internet can put these two sources together like Stack Overflow can.

Why should I have to "make my case"? I'm the customer (or at least the user), right? If they don't get those mods on a leash pretty soon, someone else will come along and drink their milkshake and I won't have to do anything.
If you want to participate on the website, you should actually participate. If you do nothing, then other people are going to run the site and you won't have any input.

Oh god! From the enterprise code I've seen, American large companies must be hotbeds of communism!
And now that I think about it, enterprise systems may be fully realized soviet states. There are long queues for often meager returns, there are a large number of factories that produce mysterious junk, security policies are both incomprehensible and harsh, and to get anything done, you have to know somebody.

#49Some programmers prefer to intermingle functional code with imperative code, while others do not: they believe in the separation of Church and state.
