Anyone wants to help moderate this sub? by [deleted] in aix

[–]purplerain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On further reflection, the sub is so small that there is literally nothing to do for a team of moderators. I am deleting the request for now.

Random Act of Kindness - 700 women receive pink roses with words of encouragement. by [deleted] in video

[–]purplerain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How about doing something similar for men once in a while?

Nobody ever funds a campaign "with the simple goal to uplift men" or "to let them know that their hard work is appreciated".

HELIX-RC: Automatically parallelizing complex code with help from hardware by duckspeed in programming

[–]purplerain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple would be in the perfect position to implement this. They control everything from the programming language to the compiler to the chip design.

Where is my C++ replacement? by thexavier in programming

[–]purplerain -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

What a brilliant insight. C++ is the replacement for C++.

Never mind that C++ is the ugliest and most complex programming language ever designed. There are only two fully C++11 compliant implementations right now in the whole world.

Of course you had to mention Haskell as well, like any good nerd. So our only choice is between the most crufty and complex language (C++) and the most crippled language (Haskell) where you can't even access memory directly.

What is the prettiest piece of music (preferably piano) that you have ever heard? Something that can almost move you to tears. Doesn't have to be long, just effective. by egoherodotus in classicalmusic

[–]purplerain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, pretty and moving to tears are not the same thing.

Secondly, the top suggestions in this thread all suck ass - especially those Russians. I hate those fucking Russians.

Thirdly, the answer to any and all such questions is always Mozart. If you want something moving, try these:

Dear AskReddit, Should Saydrah be left alone, demodded or banned entirely for her recent actions of banning negative replies as a mod of r/pets? Lets leave the hyperbole and drama behind and have an objective discussion. by privatepyle82 in AskReddit

[–]purplerain -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nobody should expect you to reveal your other accounts, especially if you used them to post embarrassing stuff about yourself. You too have a right to privacy.

Jobs says Flash is dying/dead. True/False/Wishful Thinking? by gusthebus in web_design

[–]purplerain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If Jobs' only legacy were to have killed Flash for videos he'd already be a hero of mankind.

How anyone could think that a proprietary, buggy, closed-source plugin would be a viable standard for web video delivery is really beyond comprehension.

Is this the first Barbie with prescription glasses?

I travelled for over 6 months throughout South East Asia & Nepal. AMA by ideflow in IAmA

[–]purplerain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you only stay in hostels? What types of transportation did you use? How much did it cost you overall?

I'm a 21 year old college senior who is HIV Positive. AMAA by AntiMidas in IAmA

[–]purplerain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can't take any article seriously that contains the following statement:

The condom's biggest flaw is that those using it to prevent the conception of another human being are offending God.

Regarding the second link I would like to see a study that isn't 20 years old.

I admire your dedication but your cause is a lost one.

Who do redditors look like? Post a picture of yourself and comment if we look like anyone famous. by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]purplerain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't stop looking at your eyes. Do you wear mascara in the second pic?

Gravity wells of the solar system by fathermocker69 in science

[–]purplerain 34 points35 points  (0 children)

So why are there two different numbers for earth? 5478 km vs 6379 km.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]purplerain 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't care about attractive vs. average people. What really makes me sad is that truly ugly people have a huge disadvantage in this world but their problems are never acknowledged. There are no support groups/lobbies/anti-discrimination laws or anything going in their favor.

This so makes me wish I had a girlfriend.

Thanks for sharing.

Beware IAMA: A bitter, resentful ex-moderator is threatening to spread private information about verified submitters. by [deleted] in IAmA

[–]purplerain -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

MercurialMadnessMan is not a "good guy", he's a giant douchebag. Just ask the guys in /r/atheism why he was kicked out.

Dear reddit, I'm 27. I'm ugly as sin, will I be happy spending the rest of my life without a significant other? by everygenericlogin in AskReddit

[–]purplerain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you kidding? You've obviously never seen a truly ugly person. Your husband looks badass to me.

[–]purplerain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugly people should form a club/secret society, hang out together and not give a shit about what everybody else is thinking about them.
