      You mean we should let them post programming questions in the lounge ? Oh :sigh:

        Only if you consider them your enemies. If you do, then yes, let them post programming questions here, it will discredit them, which is good for you if they are your enemies. [Nice quote Leppie - 5'd]

          5 for the quote, and 5 again because Napoleon was French (Yes, I feel like being a patriot today).

            5 for the quote, -5 cos he was French and a further -5 cos I'm feeling curmudgeonly and Rage gave you an extra 5 because he was French and jingoistic (Can the French be jingoistic?) voting is strictly prohibited.

                      Just wiping the coffee off my screen .........

                      I still remember having to write your own code in FORTRAN rather than be a cut and paste merchant being pampered by colour coded Intellisense - ahh proper programming - those were the days :)

                            Ironically, it's only a mistake if you interrupt or find out! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

                            So the creationist says: Everything must have a designer. God designed everything. I say: Why is God the only exception? Why not make the "designs" (like man) exceptions and make God a creation of man?

                                        Most limit themselves to one fatal mistake at a time, but I suppose some people are just greedy.

                                          It depends: Scenario 1: The husband shot the man who was committing the mistake with his wife. One fatal mistake. Scenario 2: The husband shot the wife, too. Two fatal mistakes. Scenario 3: The busband was shot while interrupting other's mistake. One fatal mistake. :laugh:
