Has anyone else just ignored the recommendations from Apple in how to store the card?

chrisseldo | 8 years ago | on: Detecting integer constant expressions in macros
I agree with you - I think I would take it as a compliment as well. Also, I take back my original post on what the best comment is in this post. This is better:
"this will break the minds of everybody who ever sees that expression"

"I'm in awe of your truly marvelously disgusting hack. That is truly a work of art."
Ha. How should one take such a comment?

Perhaps I should rephrase to what I meant to imply: I find it funny that people think Facebook is going away / will fade into irrelevancy.

I hope the posting of this article isn't some insinuation of FB's fate.
