You all know that the standard "frown" emoticon is a colon followed by a dash and a left parentheses, which, when typed in here, makes this:

:-(

What's wrong with that? This is what's (hopefully not really) wrong:

They actually have a page on their store area that actually sells frown emoticons, the traditional one was "free for a limited time" last time I checked...

LOL

Code: Select all

int i = x==z? 10:-(10+y)*2;
Damn, does it mean i couldn't also send my code my via email any longer?

IMHO we reached a point in our 'society' and business that says that the customer is no longer able to decide what he
- wants
- gets
- or is allowed to do,
tho he is the one who
- has to pay all the many money
- lots of money
- is not heard by those he had paid all the money for if he has trouble with the their product
Sure, should all the companies should have their patents on names, symbol, characters, code, codelines, on the letter 'a', the fact that a brain uses electricity when it thinks or i have to breath air to live.
But they should not been astonished or disappointed if there are more and more 'criminals', 'hackers' and those who dont' respect their 'laws' as, at last, no one is able to track all those things (crap), because in the end it doesn't make sense at all.

They're freaks in my eyes with no respect from my side. If i hear such things i am really...

Code: Select all
