    I think a man as great as Bill really does deserve his own fanclub. Would anyone buy T Shirts with either of those quotes on? (And are there any copyright issues involved in publishing quotes?) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

        The guy has a SERIOUS ego problem and a SEVERE lack of appropriate etiquette. I also believe him to have a deep-rooted sociological disorder (take your pick, though I am not a doctor) as he seems to have a very clear problem conversing with people of different viewpoints. Short of that though the King's work seems to be of a good standard. I say "seems to be" as I am unable to keep my concentration for long when reading through the egotistical tripe text. They look like something out of an eBay auction rather than a technology article. I must agree with Paul about his bio though - I fall out of my chair with pitiful laughter each time I read it. I *love* that part about being on "Who's Who of America"... do you guys know I was listed in the Who's Who of Architectural and Engineering Professionals at the age of twelve? I kid you not.

                Would you walk into a bar and tell people there that drinking beer is for stupid people? I don't think so. But here is what Bill had to say when CPians pointed out that he shouldn't post "commercial" articles without source code: Bill SerGio wrote: It is clear that you guys are NOT entrepreneurs and feel that a small salary from an employers is enough for your families! If you want to read my response, please see: http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/autoupdate.asp?msg=286635#xx286635xx[^] I really think something should finally be done. This is by no means the first time that he has been the focus of problems (search the Lounge, you'll find pleanty of stuff). It's sad that we've come to this sorry point, but (IMHO) we need to protect the site from people who can't play by the rules.

                        I think he actually meant that it offended his sensibilities after having it beaten into his head that all variable names should be descriptive. I had a friend at uni who'd just pick things as animals or countries for his variable names, so you'd get code like for( zebra = 1; zebra < elephant; zebra++ ) (and the actual code had nothing to do with animals) -- Help me!

Well, as Paul rarely gives frivolous advice, I decided to check it out for myself. Absolutely outstanding entertainment value! Don't know why a successful movie producer needs to write code, but then, the world is full of things that I don't know. Furthermore, you simply must go to his home page, if for no other reason than to see the great animated icon for his Internet Whacker! Some of you may even want to model the Informercial King Whackers that I know you're secretly working on in private to sport a similar icon. I respect the opinion of those who are protecting the level of quality here, but hey, if this is the largest problem in life, then life's pretty darned good. Personally, I would not want to live in a world where being completely tasteless was against the law. I subscribe to the free will sentiments echoed by others here. If I know something's going to offend me, I simply exercise the option to ignore it. Personally, I highly recommend BS as an excellent value for your entertainment dollar! :-D Chistopher Duncan Author - The Career Programmer: Guerilla Tactics for an Imperfect World (Apress)

Imagine shooting LOTR in 5 days. Maybe in pron they can do that but I don't the silver screen can. Ahh but really he is a laugh, if you don't like what he says then just ignore it. I do*. * Except his bio. I highly recommend Bill's bio as a great cure for a humourless monday.

That would actually allow him a full 10 days for LOTR. :rolleyes: I'm just impressed that he has the time, in addition to a successful movie producing career, to write code. when would he possibly have the time to enjoy the fruits of his labor?

Jakob is... ;) Jakob does talk a lot of sense and I like the way he can back things up. But I have to say sometimes he takes it to extremes and can be a bit of an attention grabber. All in all I would rather people listened to everything he said than not.
