    Honestly, if I could get someone like Christopher Duncan to help me out with it, I'd still want to release it. I no longer speak with the friend (was a musician) I was going to record it with. :( Jeremy Falcon Imputek "C# is the answer to a question nobody asked." - Chris Losinger

    That is a tough and rather unfair kind of question to ask, but you knew that so I will answer anyway... If I had to choose I would say Christian, seems a nice chap all round and does not attempt to force his beliefs down my throat. Though there are some many CPians I hardly ever hear from but when I do, they sound interesting. You being one of them. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa

Again I feel like there is an error in that statement. You see HTTP_REFERER is a valid key regardless of whether or not there is an associated value to it, when you cycle through the Server.Variables you will see several keys that don't have a value at that time, however that doesn't mean their key isn't show, that is the problem I am talking about.[ Nick Parker ](mailto:nickp@netins.com)

    Paul Watson wrote: And 34% describe men as their biggest problem. That's 33. According to the National Rifle Association 5% of all females carry weapons and this number is increasing. That means that EVERY SINGLE DAY, I drive past at least one female that has a lousy love life, thinks men are her biggest problem, has seriously considered suicide or homicide, is having the worst day of her period, and is armed. Piss one off? ...........I think not. 5% of 33 is 1.65, that's almost two women that fall into the above category, I never thought about it that way before. Yikes :omg: Interesting thought Paul. :) Nick Parker

    Yeah, I failed to see it on a first attempt, came back half an hour later and spotted it straight away. Although I have scared people in the past by being about to recite powers of two (yet I can't do times tables to save my life!) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

    You can get a CD Writer that can write images into the blank bits of CDRs. I saw it a while ago on slashdot, but can't find it now :( The 2 drawbacks were that it can only put images into the blank outer bit of a disc (so if you use the full capacity, you can't add an image), and that it only works on CDRs and RWs - you won't be able to press it onto a normal silver CD and still see the image -- Help me!
