The Back Room

I know that many Jav/VB/Web programmers are out of work. There is an oversupply!! What about VC++ guys?

Try the following: char* CalDate(char* InDate){ if (*InDate == "20/4/2002") return ("Friday"); return ("The date should be 20/4/2002"); } :-O Sorry about that :-O :( but this is :laugh: :(( Rant:mad:: and Rave:mad: Forum :(( :laugh: :mad: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :)

First really really good explanation of that strange phenomenon... ;P :confused: BTW: Having a beer is much better than wondering about some of those strange things MS does... Olli !!!

Actually it's a fascinating topic, but the more you get into it the more it gets loaded with complex math equations, specially if you also drift away with the chaos theory. Which you will because you will want to draw one of them fractals sooner or later ;) However, the basic principle is very simple - you just take that the logical values are in the range 0 to 1. You can still use all the equations and rules of the classical, boolean logic. Actually you can get interesting results if you try to use your sentence equation and iterate it. For example: p(2)=1-p(1) ... p(n+1)=1-p(n) And then, using a different values in the range 0 - 1 observe how the values are oscilating...

Putting more contractors hat on, it sounds like a good way for me to make more money by configuring Windows systems :-D As a developer it's a bad idea, you'd never know what system your software was going to be installed on.

Hehe, I actually heard this a long time ago. But instead of maths and engineers there were Software Engineers and System (OS) Engineers. Yeah, right, I was in University and was studing on the second course, lol Philip Patrick Web-site: www.saintopatrick.com "Two beer or not two beer?" Shakesbeer Need Web-based database administrator? You already have it!

You're pretty close to being right on with that. The difference though is that when I realized programming was something I could actually do (using a warezd copy of VB) I went out and purchased a copy, after saving my paper route money for about 20 weeks :-P. James Sonork: Hasaki "I left there in the morning with their God tucked underneath my arm their half-assed smiles and the book of rules. So I asked this God a question and by way of firm reply, He said - I'm not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays." "Wind Up" from Aqualung, Jethro Tull 1971

Just remembered another story: There was a test trying to find out whether all odd numbers were Primary Numbers (numbers that only divide in 1 and themselves). The Engineer started and said: "I proved that 2, 3, 5 and 7 are primary, and concluded that the rest are thus primary as well." The Physicist tested and said: "2, 3, 5 and 7 are primary. 9 is an experiment inaccuracy. 11 and 13 are also primary - Assumption proved." Then the mathematician said: "2, 3, 5 and 7 are primary, 9 isn't - assumption incorrect!" Good thing we have Mathematicians ;P P.S. I won't even mention the Biologist... ;P Isaac Sasson, Small time programmer - complainer at large. Sonork ID 100.13704

Tye answer to your question is here.

Thanks! Just what I needed! When my dad thought we were getting too old for the Easter Bunny he told us the dog ate him. Now my 8 year old has it figured out. Before when he believed he was happy for anything he got. But now that he knows the Easter Bunny is none other than mom, he has gotten very demanding. I'm going to print this picture for him. No more Easter Bunny. Cathy Life's uncertain, have dessert first!

I often laugh at the thought of two 12 year old boy sitting at a PC with a box of tissues typing 'My name is Sven und I am a 22 year old man with big muscles', or 'my name is Inga und I am 17.

Nope, that thread after Herb's interview. My LOL thread. Tim Smith I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document? Well, to tell you the truth I kinda forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this here's CodeProject, the most powerful forums in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?
