I'm sorry but I don't find that to be even remotely funny. :| David Wulff http://www.davidwulff.co.uk David Wulff Born and Bred.

Here too. Went out, ran the Turkey Trot (biggest 8K run in the Midwest; 4300+ runners this year; see www.orrrc.org[^]). 28 degrees F (-2C) at the start; cooler than last year, warmer than the year before. First time I've run in almost three months, after wrecking my ankle in a fall on the trails. Went pretty well, although my hips hurt like hell Friday morning. Went to my Mom's for dinner, stuffed myself silly. Saw my brother for the first time in almost 6 months, which was nice. All in all, a great day. Software Zen: delete this;

Where's the quote button ??? And the emoticons ? :confused: :confused: Anyhow, I did that, too.

Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002 Hey, at least Logo had, at it's inception, a mechanical turtle. VB has always lacked even that... - Shog9 04-09-2002 Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002

Paul Watson wrote: I know there are Bush supporters here on CP, so am surprised they are so quite (sic)... We're quiet because the post requested articles supportive of GW. Since the media serves only as a mouthpiece for the Liberal Left, that's an impossible challenge. Such articles don't get published, except in radical Right rags that even a staunch Conservative can't stomach. I wonder if the John Birch Society has a website?:-D "My child was Inmate of the Month at Mohave County Jail" - Bumper Sticker in Bullhead City, AZ

I wonder if it would help the newbies if they didn't see the [Modify] and [Delete] links at the bottom of every message, but only for the messages they actually wrote. Here are some possible reasons that come to mind as to why Chris didn't program the forums this way: 1. He didn't think of it. 2. He thought of it but hasn't gotten around to it -- after all, snowboarding is a lot more fun. :-) 3. He thought it would add unnecessary overhead to the already overburdened server code. Although I would think something like this wouldn't be too bad: if message.author.id = loggedInUser.id then Add the Modify and Delete links to the message end if 4. He wanted to keep every message looking consistent. 5. He thought those extra links would cause newbies to increase CP's traffic, thereby making the site more attractive for advertisers. 6. .... :-) Regards, Alvaro Well done is better than well said. -- Benjamin Franklin (I actually prefer medium-well.)

Ya know, i was just thinkin' the other day - wouldn't life be Grand as a spammer? You pay next to nothing for a chance at getting hundreds of thousands of millions of billions of suckers to buy into your lame scam... with those kinds of numbers, you don't *need* good odds to make money! Sure, i'd have to piss off a few Wulffs in the process, but the excess cash from those lamers would easily put me at ease. The only thing stopping me now is my sense of descency and lazyness... :suss: --- Shog9 Life seems pretty easy when it's from my easy chair And you're burnin up inside and no one cares...

Paul Watson wrote: What has Jonny got to do with a rubber/eraser? Jonny and Eraser have nothing in common, but when people in class ask "Can I borrow a rubber, Jonny" it sounds like they are asking for a condom. A "Rubber Johnny" is a slang term for condom over here in the UK. Paul Watson wrote: They think they are the first person to ever crack the Jonny/Elementary jokes. Most people who say it now, don't realise until after they say it, so they think it IS original. The problem with the rubber jonny bit is that in that context it is said fairly often in school life. Being the mature person i am, i launch the eraser as hard as i can at them when thay say it, mwahahahaha. :laugh::laugh: Paul Watson wrote: Ahh well, at least our names can break the ice when needed I always introduce myself as Nonny. Thats always a good start because they start singing "Noddy, noddy, the little boy in the red and yellow car" Noddy was a kids program over here. Nonny came about from: Jonny Newman Nonny Jewman No i'm not jewish, but the Nonny but was found humerous, I hated it at first, but when everyone including my parents called me it, I accepted it. If you can't beat it, answer to it :) We brought out this new and very similar version of our expensive software because the old version was......old....It's a good enough excuse for Microsoft so its fine for us.

I know also we have totally different social cultures :) For example, some of my rights, guaranteed by laws: * 5 weeks of payed vacation per year * 35 hours of work per week * Between 5 to 10 days off per year (according to the years) for traditional dates and celebrations.

If there was a Strangest "Human" In Existence award each year, he would win it hands down until either he died or became a nudist. Prince/Symbol is pretty strange, but at least it seems more a pulicity put on thing. MJ obviously has deep, psychological problems and coupled with lots of money it comes out all wrong.

No, the left is slightly bigger than the right. /Magnus - I don't necessarily agree with everything I say

No! The sneeze was so that the bear could locate the hunter and chase him to the cabin. Otherwise how did the bear know where he was?
