  • In what way does this answer against guidelines?

    The question was in computers and the asker asked

    Can you show me a computer program that will add number formatting to numbers so that 1000 becomes 1,000

    (now computer programs have hundreds of programming languages and so my answer was)

    "what language? heres one in commodore 64 basic if it helps

    10 input "Enter Number";a$

    20 l$=len$(a$)

    30 aa$=left$(a$,3)

    40 ab$=mid$(a$,3,(len(a$)-3)

    50 Print ab$;",";aa$

    but seriously rather than programming many modern languages have functions that automatically parse numbers into their currency, number formatting etc.

    eg PHP

    echo number_format(502934); will output 502,934"

    All of which is a valid answer, with 2 examples, nothing offensive, nothing that is not a correct answer...

    worse thing is when I click the appeals page WHICH CLEARLY I WOULD DO

    the link wont work and it says

    "Sorry, unable to open Appeal page.

    Please check the URL and try again."

  • Atheists what drives you to theists discussions?

    I understand the need for theists to push their beliefs to all that they can. Certain cults even make it part of their "mission" to save your soul. And I do understand how globally religious organisations may effect the status if your country politically.

    But, and please this is aimed at intellectual atheists not the people who just say "cos god is your imaginary pixie friend" types (omg that's so clever, great point that's me converted)

    What is the driving force to try to "convert" an individual to your way of thinking?

    For example there's a lot of the people who just say"cos god doesn't exist" like that's the answer which we all know is not. And to be frank is like arguing with a five year old who just keeps saying "because"

    Why do they need to do this? By your logic there is no benefit to converting someone to atheism.
