Woop isn't a word as far as I know. Whoop, is 'woo-p'. Whooping cough has it as 'hooping'... yay for English?

We're all more of less Sheldons in here. No need to feel bad about it ;)
:lol:ha hahah great show that.
I'm more interested in the other characters, though.
Anything where I'm not reminded that *I* am a bit of an asocial.

Thinking of it, the show I'm currently fascinated with (1976's BBC production of "I, Claudius") is pretty much the life story of the world's first documented nerd :lol:

Nerds are cool, you know why.....women adore them! > I know I'm digressing a little but I'm also keen on Seinfeld. George an Kramer are absolutely hilarious.

https://github.com/elkarte/Elkarte/commit/babfac398abdb9b49ffb3e1d3d1631585e917ede

This looks a LOT like a fix I made to Wedge in rev 1847, just four days ago...
[...]
This sounds too coincidental to be true to me. Shouldn't I be the one who gets the thanks, not emanuele?
As Arantor said he gave me the original code (and he is thanked in the changelog, if you are the author I can change the changelog), then...heck I don't test my own code, but I always test someone else code! :P I found the buglet and fixed it (it was not that difficult either) and passed to Spuds. ;) (I didn't even notice the bug was fixed there too)

So...
ema, I have no problems with giving you our alpha versions or whatever, I have absolutely no qualms with you or Elkarte and wish you all the best. I'd just rather be told if you already somehow have access to our SVN without telling.
No, please!! I'm already working on two quite similar (at least in terms of bugs, after some recent changes things are going to diverge quite quickly) codebases at the same time, the last thing I need is another codebase to play with!!! :angel:

Oracle, I don't know where you've heard of that... Not everything in life happens like in The Book of Arnold Mormon... Geeks, and let's not even talk about nerds, tends to annoy girls in general. Not everyone wants to watch a romcom and be told about the entire fascinating filmography of this guy who plays the bartender in that scene. :whistle:

ema, I would heartfully agree with you, in that I tend to avoid looking at SMF/Elkarte codebases because they're confusing for someone like me who hasn't touched $smcFunc or $modSettings or $user_info in weeks, months or sometimes years. However, sharing ideas could be for the better of all projects. Maybe we should do something like that... We don't have to share implémentations, since they'll likely differ anyway. Sharing ideas sounds nice to me. Or bug fixes, like the many 'SMF bug' mentions I made in the Wedge changelog. ;)

Not where I come from...

They've made a TV series about nerds and how wonderful they are. Ladies of all types simply drooling over the prospect they may get noticed by one of these heavily prized creatures. Never really watched the programme as it wasn't my cup of tea. Nonetheless it was aired suggesting nerds were on their way up in the world. Cant remember the name of the show. From that I made the general observation that nerds were popular. Doesn't matter merely a bit of goss.

Bartender???/ sounds like Ted Danson and show Cheers just a bunch of broken down has been's  frequenting their regular watering hole. Wouldn't exactly categorize them as nerds if that's what you were suggesting.

Unfamiliar with The Book of Mormon really.

The show is fiction. Ladies of all types do not simply drool over the prospect of being noticed by one of these heavily prized creatures. TV just makes us think it's true, the reality is just not the same.

What was that? Stupid "Beauty and the Geek" show?

We're telling you. Geeks and nerds are NOT popular. That's the whole point: if you're not popular, you're *probably* a nerd. They're pretty much synonyms in school. (Well, back when I was in school, no one ever heard of the word 'geek', including me, and wouldn't hear from it for another 10-15 years, but you get my point.)

The simple fact is, technology is now an important part of everyone's life. But just because you use the Internet doesn't make you a geek. However, using the Internet might *reveal* your geeky tendencies. So I guess there are more and more self-proclaimed geeks like ourselves, and with market shares comes power. There you go, TV starts trying to hide their Jerry-from-Parker-Lewis characters (whatever geek you could find in a TV show), and show instead 'cool' geeks.
Effectively, one thing I like about TBBT is that its geeks are not exactly likeable. Especially not Sheldon...
OTOH, I love The IT Crowd because Maurice Moss is so likeable :lol:

What about Cheers...? I think you misread my sentence or something.

Two mormons go to Uganda to evangelize it. One perfect blond guy and a fat nerd who can't stop talking about Star Wars and LOTR etc. In the end, the nerd gets the pretty girl, reinvents his religion and baptizes everyone with the pop-culture-injected version of it.
Basically, he's the triumphant hero.

Then again, the BOM was written by a band of nerds who wouldn't admit it... (See Avenue Q for one, and South Park: You Have Zero Friend for the other group...)
