    Nice! I love the sheriff's humor: “If this was a test of his endurance or agility, he passed," the sheriff added. "But I wouldn’t want to see his next test be to see if he can outrun a locomotive.” 'As programmers go, I'm fairly social. Which still means I'm a borderline sociopath by normal standards.' Jeff Atwood 'I'm French! Where do you think I've gotten such an outrrrrageous accent?'

    No I didn't miss the J nor the icon. Joking about date rape is no way to joke. If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader." - John Quincy Adams You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering” - Wernher von Braun

The only "legitimate" reasons I can see is to give the billions of dollars of tax payers money to the weapons contractors, give out the oil contracts from these oil rich countries to large oil barons and continue the dollar hegemony. If you think you have better legitimate reasons, I would love to know them. jschell wrote: Third, but again reality based, the opposing forces do not consist of only "20" members. Ok, I agree. According to Wikipedia, AQ consists of somewhere between 500 to 1000 members. It still does not justify the killing of more than a million Iraqi and Afghan civilians.

    Problem solved. Bypassed the Co* layer, to instantiatie the object myself. This gives me full control of the DLL lifetime. Also made the developer fix the bugs in his implementation (I will probably find new ones next week, so don't worry - I'll still have a job to do). Push to customers on monday morning. Weekend saved! Have a good one! -- Kein Mitleid Für Die Mehrheit

    Ohhhh zang! Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.
