Moderator from Reddit here. I want to start off by saying how completely disappointed I am in every single one of you. You all single handedly ran away our guests by posting nothing but childish, disrespectful, and just flat out rude comments. /r/Iama is a chance for redditors and people in general to interact with celebrities and otherwise famous people when they will likely never have a chance to do so. What you all did was completely un-called for. I am now having to reschedule the AMA for another time because so many people that actually wanted to have meaningful questions answered had their chances ruined because of all of you. I can tell you with complete certainty that if I see a single “For you”, “You’re a big guy”, or “CIA” reference in the new AMA you can bet that you will be permanently banned.
probably one of the top 20 youtube comments of all time
The controversy left 4chan on April 23, 2014 when it was announced that Tom Hardy would be hosting an “Ask Me Anything” interview session on Reddit, in which users can ask him questions. 4chan decided to “raid” the interview and ask Hardy questions pertaining to the now-infamous scene from The Dark Knight Rises. Users were encouraged to downvote legitimate questions about the subject of the interview (Hardy’s new film Locke) and only upvote questions featuring references to the opening scene of TDKR. Hundreds of 4chan users descended on the AMA session, asking a variety of questions that contained various references to the scene, such as the phrases “big guy” and “for you” and variations of the question “Tell me about Bane, why does he wear the mask?”[1]
Hardy initially responded to some of the questions, but Reddit’s moderators eventually intervened when they realized what was happening and shut down the thread. Of particular note, one user asked Hardy what Bane meant by “for you,” and Hardy replied that "It was written meaning it would be painful for you, but I intoned it meaning “I’m a big guy for you.”"[2] Many users on 4chan, and even some media sources, joked that they had “crashed the thread, with no survivors,” as a reference to Bane’s threat in the scene.[3]

Crapcrapcrap! storm of the decade today! golfball-sized hail, strong wind, people are advised not to drive because the roads will be all watered, people are advised to go to thestrongest building possible and get into the basement.
I remember the last time this happened, I was just a little kid, and I was terrified!

If the 32X had been successful, would Sega have made another Genesis add-on? That thing could've been an abstract art project.
Every year we're gonna come out with another thing to snap onto your Sega Genesis, and you'll buy it, I promise you'll buy it, this is a totally sustainable business model that'll last forever. Anyway, we got Sonic back in the winter, but fuck that we got another shitty thing to plug into genesis.
Maybe we'll make a 64x. Maybe we'll make a disc drive.
All your dreams are gonna come true on dreamcast, but you aren't gonna buy that because the PS2's right around the corner.

...how much does it cost to have 464 pages printed?
In this case, we shrank it to half-size and printed it double-sided (hence four pages on one sheet), in the end it came to around $20.
I have dreams of going into a store with a flash drive containing my complete magnum opus and being all "this is 800 pages long, print it, I don't care how much it is"
What You’ve Heard: Alan Moore is currently locked in a brutal magickal struggle against rival Comicbook Occultist Dave Sim, who views Moore’s life of “sin and perversion” in the name of a “pagan deity” an affront to The One True God. It’s rumored that over the years they’ve dragged several writers into the struggle, and for a time Moore tried to include Neil Gaiman who declined, explaining that the whole thing was awfully silly and that they all ought to just calm down and curl up next to the fireplace with a good, classy fairytale or the like. Further reports of Moore devouring Gaiman’s children in retaliation and replacing them with the help of a powerful Epideromancer and three sadistic dwarfs to keep the whole affair under wraps are said to be wild exaggerations according to the more naïve members of the Occult Underground.

You know what word always seemed weirdly redundant to me? "Childbirth".
Company-wide, there has been a new approach to source code and its management. Microsoft is traditionally viewed as a series of fiefdoms, with each team jealously guarding its own work and not sharing with others. As such, people in one team have historically had little access to other teams; they couldn't see what they were working on or the source code they were producing.
When code did need to be shared—for example, the Xbox team's fork of Windows, or the Azure team's fork of Hyper-V—the sharing was a one-off thing. The new team would take the old team's source code and then develop in parallel. This obviously introduces long-term maintenance problems; the maintainer of each fork needs to somehow incorporate important changes from the main version of the code, which can require complex integration work.
This explains A LOT. Like, a whole lot. It'd certainly explain why Windows has at least three ways of doing things (Win32, COM, .NET), all of which live in their own worlds. Win32 came from the Windows group, COM came from Visual Basic (and inherited a lot of BASIC's quirks, too), and I'm not sure where .NET came from.
