    The hardest thing is buying a phone that is well ... just a phone. If I am really bored I wander into a phone shop and tell the salesperson I want phone, just a phone, you send/receive calls. Pisses them off no end. I'll stick to my old razor. Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

When they don't know what to do, they do the easy thing, everyone knows it justs gets easier from there. I was going career military. I took civil engineering because I knew there was a chance I would change my mind. I did, and that decision keeps us fed. peterchen wrote: Don't attribute to stupidity what can be equally well explained by buerocracy. Don't attribute to bureaucracy what can be equally well attributed to stupidity. :laugh: I've known some very capable bureaucrats, there to get the mission done. Not so the stupid. At least not capable at anything but stupidity. Why does my ass hurt and what is that thing by my ear? Wouldn't know the mission if it had 12 inch canines and bit them in the left buttock.

    Just create your own personal "DLL mirror" to work with, and then build very very frequently :cool: Seriously, publishing DLLs should be done only from a reproducable, archived build (read: label or archive sources, do a full build of the component(s)).
