Don't complain!
Just upload your images @ GeekHack and ...
Code: Select all

^^ Oh, I see. Well done!
ps: GH isn't perfect in terms of image upload, but still (until the next update I guess) better than DT!
I will never figure out how that [attach] thing works.

I learned from Steve Jobs that choice is bad.
Also the 26th webwit axiom aplies:
The quality of a top site is the inverse function of the number of themes it offers.
No dark themes: bbc.co.uk, nyt.com, reddit.com
Dark themes: warezforum.info, geekhack.org

I thought that was "The number of Smiley Faces"? Maybe 27 on your list.

We will have a dark theme choice at some point, after development on the current site stabilizes, which will probably be when phpBB 4 gets released and we can start over.

Me, I think this is all a big conspiracy by imav in order to recruit volunteer theme skinners.

So far I don't think it's been working.
One of your laws must involve the number of coders on project.

That is axiom 49:
The more coders you put on a project (N), the number of women on the project nears zero (1 / N^2).

So, to have infinitely many women on a project, we just have to kill off all the coders!

No, that would cause 'divide by zero' errors.

At least between Bill Gates and Paul Allen ONE of them got married.

Hey!
Looking at the hair styling of the group and the quantity of facial hair of most of the other members, I would say the "woman" is some sort cosplay drag queen.

I WONDER why there aren't many women in high tech?
Joanna was a physicist and an archeologist before Jef Raskin hired her as the fifth member of the Macintosh team in September 1980. She was the only marketing person for more than a year, and she made many important contributions, including writing the first draft of the User Interface Guidelines.

The mother of all programmers is a woman. Ada Lovelace.
Then there's of course Carly Fiorina. Harhar.

hey this is rly off topic, but if
n / 0 = infinity (need one of those lisp boards, lol)
and n is NOT zero
then infinity x 0 = n ?
Is that true!?!?

Stop posting off-topic in the off-topic section!
Your post is keybaord related (you mentioned the lisp keyboards)!
ps: No, it is not true.

WHY? (my maths teacher who has a Phd in applied mathematics (or something) says it is!)

When a post is offtopic (n) in offtopic (n), then the ontopic factor = n / (1 / n) = infinity

That forum is pissing me off, theyre elitist about their keyboards, and any forum that even mentions mechanical and keyboard in the same sentence is to be condescended on. Then when someone points out that they have very little in the way of content management and theres a **** ton of thread crap, they become childish. There is NO other forum ive been to that has that level of threadcrapping... OCN doesnt hold a candle up to them when it comes to threadcrap... and thats saying something.
HardForum Hates Us.

I have to wonder how RiGS discovered GeekHack? For some reason, he's made it clear that he's hated me pretty much since he joined the site.
