That would still be sexist now wouldn't it. :) Jeremy Falcon
Right, but at least it would be ACLU/NOW-approved sexism. ;)

Which isn't any better than the sexism of old. Turning tables is not getting rid of it. Jeremy Falcon

Joe and Mary in 2008
Joe : We've used some P/Invoke to speed up our C# class. Mary : I'm glad we know Win API. Joe : Me, too. CP Bob : Oh Joe and Mary, you are so smart.

It's about as sexist as my pencil sharpener. How about Joe writing the code and John fawning over him? Some people will read offence into anything.

I agree. I prefer a sexy joke over a sexist joke anytime.

I think you'll find at least a handful of developers at a handful of other companies (Sun, Apple, IBM, Oracle etc.) who still write native code :) regards, Paul Watson Ireland Feed Henry! K(arl) wrote: oh, and BTW, CHRISTIAN ISN'T A PARADOX, HE IS A TASMANIAN!

I gotta ask, are those supposed to be jokes? They didn't make me laugh. In fact, I winced. They reminded me of old black-n-white movies where you can definitely tell its an old movie by their speech patterns.

Men don't "fawn". They "lust", and it has nothing to do with a woman's brains. ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'. If you're not here to race, go the hell home - don't come here and grumble about going too fast. Why don't you tie a kerosene rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass..." - Dale Earnhardt "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001

How about a new CP icon for irony? I suppose Wink could be used, but I'm not sure all people understand the concept of winking to indicate that one is joking.

If fawning leads to satisfaction of lust, I'm a fawner.
