I think all techies need to read "How to Win Friends and Influence People."

Isn't that the one full of religion? :~ Upon the recommendations of a friend and a corporate trainer, I borrowed that book but I didn't go beyond a few pages. That was 3+ years back, so I could be thinking of something else....

Explains your entrepreneurial success given that most geeks aren't wild about interaction with other, lesser mortals. I'd heard about it all my life and finally read it a few years back. To my surprise, it was all familiar stuff (but wouldn't have been in my younger days). I loved the shocking simplicity of it all. Be nice to other people and they'll want to be nice to you. All the good truths have been taken. :-D

I'm curious now. Purely out of curiosity (well, OK, boredom too ;P ) I looked at Wikipedia. That letter is present in the Faroese, Icelandic, and Turkmen alphabets. Speakers of those languages constitute 0.0000015% of the Earth's population. Or did the Turkish dotless I get encoded incorrectly? :~

Link? Pretty sure I have Ý on my keyboard (it's uppercase from ý), and while I never looked up where does this letter came from, I think our alphabet is missing on the list :)

The day they invent the device that delivers a slap over the internet is the day I'll be a very happy man.
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.
I am working on my device. Expect it in the secand quarter of 2008. :)

win friends: pay them off influence people: get my gun Carnegie is outdated for these times. I read that over 20 years ago :zzz:

Not surprisingly, human nature is quite predictable. The fundamentals that work have probably worked for tens of thousands of years.

I don't remember if it had a religious tint to it or not. If it did I just let that go past me and paid attention to the actual techniques, which aren't specific to any particular path. Struck me as common sense more than anything else.

I don't know if Capone actually said this or not, but in the Untouchables movie, De Niro was talking about his neighborhood and said, "You can get more with a kind word and a gun than you can with just a kind word." :)

That's a correct Al Capone quote. Only I think it has the word "alone" at the end of it. But this posts two different quotes that more or less mean the same. Look to the last two: Clickety[^] I had it on a shirt I bought at the museum in Chicago when I was visiting my uncle back when I was younger. I don't know why, but I thought Scar face Al (Capone, not Pacino) was the coolest thing since kool aid (hey, I was 12!) :)

:) Done that. In fact, I took the Dale Carnegie course and then was a teacher assistant for it afterwards. Marc

If being a smarmy suck-up is a religion now, yeah. :rolleyes: To be fair, i haven't read it. I sat through a speech by the author years ago though, easily among the most depressing things i heard while in school. Next time you're having a conversation with someone you've just met, and they seem to be repeating your name a lot... ask 'em if they've read the book. It's like, a dirty little "make you like me" trick or something. :sigh:
But who is the king of all of these folks?

One solution: Cut out the shape you want in paper. Use either sticky back plastic of blue-tac and gently attach the shape to the bottom of the mouse. Now move the mouse around and give it a good shake - the shape should fall off the bottom of the mouse. :sigh:
You always pass failure on the way to success.

MR MARC, IM HURT THAT U POST MY QUESTION N LOUNGE. I WANT ASK THE GR8NESS U R FOR ANSWERS. BUT NOW IM HURT TOO MUCH TO ASK AGAIN. ;P Wow, you know I never realized how difficult that is to type. I had to go back and remove the YO from YOU every single time, I just automatically typed it no matter how hard I concentrated. I also thought typing in all caps would be easy, since I keep missing some caps in my typing anyhow. But it also was difficult. :-D I think that is the last time I will attempt a joke like that, it is just too difficult to type like that. :-D
