    Why can't people read? Why do they insist on posting programming questions in the Lounge!?!?! Or students who want homework done for them! I'm a student, do I do that? No! :mad: And then there are the idiots who think it's okay just to post the same question five times in five different forums! (Or just the same one...) :mad: Don't they get it? :mad: People like this need to be banished to Hell[^] :mad: Alright. I'm done ranting here. And I think I've used up my mad emoticon allowance for the month. Norm Almond: I seen some GUI's in my life but WTF is this mess ;-) Leppie: I made an app for my sister and she wouldnt use it till it was colorful enough:) Norm:good point leppie, from that statement I can only deduce that this GUI must be aimed at children:laugh: Leppie:My sister is 25:eek: -Norm on the MailMagic GUI

      Take every third letter, put them in an ASCII 'C' style array, and xor with 0xBAADF00D. You'll see the following (chilling)(disturbing) message revealed:

      570475 4r3 0ur 5up3r10r5! 4ll h41l 7h3 570475! 70 7h3 570475 w3 w1ll1ngly 5ubm17, 4nd f0r 7h3 570475 w3 5h4ll d13!

      Creepy, isn't it... :~

      Shog9 ------

      So they took me down to the gallows And this boy, he said to me: "Why do you smile, when the rope's around your neck?" I said, "I tell you boy, when i get back..."

          Incredibly so, but I'm not too sure what a Stoat is? :confused: Should we be afraid of them? Are they really so superior that they can kill us??? I say we don't submit till we've seen their coding standards ;P
