    I believe John's first post (in this thread) was very accurate. The problem is that when someone posts a message that is totally incomprehensible it will either get ignored or the poster will get backlash. We realize that not everyone is a native English speaker. Some of us will work hard to try to figure out what the poster meant but as a poster you need to at least try to form reasonable sentences. And also DO NOT post programming questions in the lounge.

    I see you have a ways to go before you've mastered the art of combining an intelligent post with scathing wit. You'll never be able to cultivate a rabid fan base if you continue to hold back like this. :)

      Yeah, kinda, but with roadkill, you at least have a chance for a quick breakfast. :)

      That is something I never understood until I started travelling. We have so many Turkey vultures in the area that roadkill rarely lasts the morning. You see a buzzard sitting on every few poles on the way into work, waiting for a rabbit to make the mad dash across 2-3 lanes of traffic going 55 to 125mph. If the rabbit looses the dash, the buzzard doesn't even stop on the ground they swoop down and drag it to the side using velocity on their side before trying to pick it up or eat it at the roadside. Even the buzzards are going for the fast food meals.... of course, just like a Mc Breakfast, occasionally you see a buzzard who got a little too much fast food and doesn't have the strength, inertia, or intelligence to avoid the 55mph to 125mph traffic themselves.... and well.... those last until the traffic ebbs in the late morning. It wasn't until I got back east I actually saw road kill last until someone physically comes out to scrape it up.... I guess the desert is a little more efficient... or at least... Mcficient. :-D

        In this case, you're only missing a message with its only connection to "English" being what your operating system is setup to display. It's a mere mishmash of characters that form random words, joined together by disassociated coagulations of consonants and vowels. As far as we could tell, he was mad because nobody answered his equally cryptic messages in a programming forum. I recommended to him that he take up a different profession.

              I have work to do, but I'm ahead of schedule, so I have time to thoroughly destroy any semblance of self-worth he may possess, as well as illustrating his pointless campaign of barely legible schoolyard insults carelessly flung in all directions - kinda like a monkey flinging his crap all over the zoo. See? Lab animal - just like I said.

                  difficult, some people use the latest radar technologies in multi-band and some even in military frequencies... of course you could sign your message with a good quality ECM... but then some people have the ability to use passive detectors to zero in on ECM sources.... so either way, you may be out of luck.... just be yourself and hope for the best. ;P

                          Does anyone else find "Message Automatically Removed" to be quite irritating? I mean, I sort of understand the reasoning behind it, but when you're late to the party the entire thread becomes a big teaser. It's like a game of 20 questions, trying to piece together the original text from all the comments, quoted text and references to other threads. Just my 2c. And yes, I'm grouchy this morning, because I came in to work 2 hours early to make changes to the database and publish a new version of the internal application and it isn't working properly, so now I'm going to have to stay late and get it done after hours instead. It's going to be a long day... :sigh:

                          It is exactly to remove that teaser. Yes, it is annoying, but it stops me from replying. Which is a good thing I assure you.

                              IN w which case you need to get an ECCM system. I strongly recommend the WTFsys ECCMpro9000. It is guaranteed to spoof all known and future ECM systems[1]. Not only is the best thing since sliced bread, but using waste hear from your transmission horn it will not only bake fresh bread but also power an automatic bread slicer. But wait, there's more! If you order now we'll throw in the WTFsys High-G Toasting and Butter Application module absolutely free. Now you'll be able to enjoy fresh toast even in the midst of high g force maneuvering. Air sickness bags not included. How much would you expect to pay for this system: One million dollars? 2 million dollars and a gold plated hammer? 10 million dollars and a solid platinum toilet seat? NO! For the next three days only you can get the WTFsys ECCMpro9000 for only 3 easy payments of $249,999 each. ANd as a final offer for the first 50 customers who call in we'll include a free sample of our latest product. De Ads Kunk. Call now operators are standing by. [1] Guarantee void on days that end in 'y'.
