So I'm in my fourth week of a C course, and every fucking class, without failure, some totally stereotypical, cheetos eating, hentai fapping, socially awkward fuck of a person has to ask the professor a question that not only has no relevance to what we are learning, but it is blatantly obvious that the faggot who asked it knew the answer to begin with and only raised his hand to appear intelligent.
Today a classic nerd asked the professor a question (thick glasses, speech impediment, arrogant tone), and after trying to reword his question at least half a dozen fucking times for the professor to address it (because it was irrelevant HURR), finally says, "Oh, wait, I already know the answer to that". You could feel the fucking facepalming that went on from every person in the room who wasn't a complete fucking failure.
Why? In none of the other classes I've taken save U.S. Government/Politics, everyone is content to sit the fuck down and listen without being a fucking waste of space and everybody else's time. Is it something about programming that makes it seem inherently superior to all other disciplines to these virginal, neckbearded, stuttering fucks?
I'm a 'nerd', and I don't care for being considered one. But seeing as I have at least a modicum of self respect, I don't do things that make the nerd image what it is today.
Fuck man, in a few years you'll be earning more cash than pretty much everyone else, the least you could do is shut the fuck up in the meantime, right?

Yes, obnoxious people suck. Too bad you can't stuff them in lockers anymore, eh?

>>1 I don't do stereotypical nerd things like ranting anonymously on the Internet about people who irritate me... oh, wait.

Bring up reflection. Or encapsulation. In fact, bring up any OO principle and marvel at C++ utterly failing to incorporate it in any sensible way.

You see, the fun thing about operator overloading is that it doesn't matter anymore what exactly is transparently supported by the language and what isn't.

Enjoy your endless recompilan cycles whenever you make changes to private variables.

You miss the point. It means that, yes, it does matter what is transparently supported by the language. Which is one of the biggest problems with C++: its absolute failure in encapsulation destroys any benefit any other ``feature'' might bring. (Not that most of these weren't fucked up, too.)

Overload that operator to my face not online and see what happens.

Enjoy not being able to use + for adding vectors and other shit
Whenever someone tries to preach C++ to me, I like to pretend all I've ever programmed in is C, Lisp and Smalltalk.
They'll start talking about everything I'm missing by using plain C, and then I'll act interested and start asking how to do this and that idiom from Smalltalk or Lisp. Small three-liners that expand into huge clusterfucks of patterns are ideal.
