That would still be sexist now wouldn't 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.

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
It was a joke, Jeremy. Ergo the winking smiley. ;)

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!

Joe : I've used some inline asm to speed up that function. Mary : Joe, you know assembly? Joe : Yeah, I do. Mary : Oh Joe, you are so smart.

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.
