    Hello CP fellows, today I'm 28 and I made a very special present to myself: I quit my job! The funny point is that my last day of work in this house will be my boss's birthday. I didn't know, because I never remember anyone's birthday, but when he read the written notice, he said it's unlikely to be pure chance. Soon I'll start my new job: Database design, interface design ... I'll be allowed to apply everything I've learned in the last years. No boring days anymore. :-D Have a great day, - coco

    This statement is false.

      0 represents "No". Any number > 0 represents "Yes". Where's the problem in storing "01000001" instead of "00000001" in a yes-field?

        As the saying goes, I am the sum total of my life experiences, so to return to 28 I would not be me now, I would be me then, and I have no interest in going back in time. :) I don't mind growing older as long as it means I get more of the good things in life, and less of the bad. :) I know the reverse is true the farther back you go in my life.

              Elvish sounded really nice in the movies. But I liked the book better. :)

              Cheers, Vikram.

                I had some objections to how they pronounced "Elvish" in the movies... (Just kidding. I'm not that much of a nerd.)

                  The visuals were superb in the films but they massacred the storyline for no reason IMO.

                      "massacred" is a touch strong. I was looking forward to seeing Tom Bombadil but apart from that I thought it was a decent screen adaption. The alternative was 24 1 hour episodes ;)

                            Faramir's story was totally altered for no reason; Aragorn's background and life story were altered for no reason; the story of Aragorn's sword being reforged was altered for no reason, Aragorn fell of the cliff...etc. The changes meant that people's motivation and justifications of their actions was altered significantly in ways which didn't improve the story at all. Tom Bombadil would have been interesting to see but if it didn't fit in with one's mental picture it could have been cringingly awful.
