If any /prog/riders are looking to purchase hard copies of computer science books, the Bing Cashback service is going away forever at the end of June, and with it, your opportunity to get 8% off + free shipping on Barnes & Noble.com orders.

not only lacking proper knowledge of the back to /g/, please meme (which, it may surprise you, I invented) that is essential for understanding the fact that there has never really been a standard ``back to /g/, please notation''*, but also failing to comprehend the importance of bbcoed variations as part of /prog/ humor in its entirety

That, combined with your views on mimicking Wikipedia editing standards on a BBS and lacking the knowledge of the origins of /prog/ memes and their relationships with their contemporary usages lead me to direct you back to /g/, please.

This may surprise you, but the earliest known recorded of the ``back to x'' family is located at http://dis.4chan.org/read/prog/1204068934/54, and consists of neither an italics nor a ``boum'' nor a ``ou'' bbcode tag, but a ``boucode'' tag, a usage which, as usual in the younger stages of a /prog/ meme, has since fallen out of use.

According to me, after a good half-hour of vigorous Google searching. I'm sure someone with /prog/scrape could find an older, more distantly related usage (probably along the lines of ``Oh wow, why don't you just go back to /b/?'' or something heartfelt like that), but that's stretching it a bit.

Huge efforts made to disprove citation-less, one-line parrot post;
trying to assert knowledge of `/prog/ humor;'
caring about meme origins1 while also noting that `variations' are important to humor

That, combined with your views on 'view on mimicking Wikipedia' combined with your use of footnotes, lead me to believe IHJBMT

____________
1. Amusement by memes is a subset of `amusement by recognition' where any amount of dissection will quickly reveal the total lack of original content; also note that divergence from the traditional format of most (all?) Internet memes, traditionally,  will be met with the deafening baying of ``You are doing it wrong! Get out!'' (or equivalent) by those who still find it humorous.

not realizing that I was stating that knowledge of the origin and the early days, as well as the contemporary usage, is essential for completely understanding the evolution of any in-joke, and forcing me to restate my belief that while the first permutation often has little to do with the latter ones (as is true in this case), knowledge of later permutations from 2008-2010 would lead one to my same conclusion of there being no acceptable standard for ``back to /b/, please''

That, combined with your views on the correlation between the amount of effort put into a post and the quality of the post, the correlation between the amount of effort put into it and the  lack of a sensible raison d'etre for a post as it relates to its quality, as well as your apparent desire to spread misinformation regarding Wikipedia's convention of using superscript numerals for footnotes*, compels me to conclude that we should probably go back to talking about Bjarnes & No-bell.

The use of a code tag rather than an m tag owes less to memetic mutability than it does to the fact that syntax highlighting hadn't been introduced yet in February of 2008. The code tag was a lot more common then, and was almost universally replaced by m later on.

Let's try a different approach.

Can someone tell me the name of any interesting comp. sci-related textbooks, essays, etc. that they would like to read for free, but cannot find already on the internet, so that I may purchase said books and scan them? For fuck's sake, /prague/, I'm trying to be a bro here, don't make it hard on me.

 Its as easy as choosing to not be trolled. You're already asking if you want to be trolled, but you doubt if you really have the strength of will to face the trolling. You can do it. Reject the trolling from your mind.

It might be the Twitter guy, but it definitely isn't the original FV. More likely it's just someone who saw that thread by that moron earlier, and thought he could be funny.

He's wrong.
