    This used to be a nice place to visit. There was great personalities like Roger Wright, Colin Davies, Daniel Turini, Nish, Megan, code-frog, peterchen, Marc, Jörgen, Kari, Lauren, Anna, JoeSox, Chris, John(the outlaw one), Dunn and a lot more. And all those people that went to Microsoft, Brian, Tom etc. Some are still here but the general "feeling" of the Lounge is gone. Can somebody explain that? jhaga

      haa! You agree with me! Actually I think it is a new generation taking over. Oldtimers are dying one after the other.

        Hey, I'm a new generation. Cool. I do, of course, have to shoot you now. You're not supposed to know our plans about taking over the lounge.

            At least I am. The last months I've been terribly busy, so I post a message only occasionally, but I regularly follows the laughter and tears here on The Lounge, which is the only web page that it's always open in my browser, all day long.

            If you truly believe you need to pick a mobile phone that "says something" about your personality, don't bother. You don't have a personality. A mental illness, maybe - but not a personality. - Charlie Brooker My Photos/CP Flickr Group - ScrewTurn Wiki

                                  Things got a bit rough in the last couple of weeks, but stick around. I believe that normality is being resumed.

                                    Realistically, the only way to answer that is by abstraction to generalize the problem, using pointers at various members, and type casting. All in all, nobody can write decent code just with abstraction, pointers can be dangerous, and excessive type casting is usually the sign of a bad design. I think similarly, nobody can come up with a decent answer either. But more importantly, why wasn't I on your list of personalities? ;P Marc

                                        This used to be a nice place to visit. There was great personalities like Roger Wright, Colin Davies, Daniel Turini, Nish, Megan, code-frog, peterchen, Marc, Jörgen, Kari, Lauren, Anna, JoeSox, Chris, John(the outlaw one), Dunn and a lot more. And all those people that went to Microsoft, Brian, Tom etc. Some are still here but the general "feeling" of the Lounge is gone. Can somebody explain that? jhaga

                                        It started happening at about the 200,000 user mark. I wish that the Indian universities would have a course on proper article posting. Fully 9 out of 10 rejected articles are from Indians that are completely clueless as to what makes an acceptable article.
