It’s not _that_ bad in #java, but it is close. Your best bet is to ask a hard question. If you can be answered by looking up the answer via google, the javadoc, or the language spec in under 10 seconds, you’ll be ridiculed.

And what the hell is it with Canadian school kids? Does Canada require all java students to hit IRC for answers? Perhaps it’s a character-building exercise. /kb #java *.rogers.com

I think old fate was being facetious there.

Hey this is the *Bile*Log, so I would say positive comments would be hmmm … a little rare. IRC is for a certain kind of … hmm … personality – even for Mr BileLog it seems a little too much, heh.

Wow.

Didn’t go to this one, as I much prefer using newsgroups or online forums, but that sure sounds bad. Don’t even wanna try :-)

Do you hold such a low view on places like, say, the JDC forums, or borland.public.jbuilder.java.* NG’s?

Why go IRC then? You can talk to others in web-based forums, or to yourself in your own weblog.
