If I had to actually think before speaking it would be easier to take a vow of silence :). Thinking is kinda like flow-charting - its easier to do after than before.

IIRC a US general did the same on the Phillipines. Just once. No more muslim attacks under his reign Maybe a Urban Legend, though.

St Peter would not admit a tainted soul, especially one carrying a VB book. I hear if a VB coder DIMs some water and throws it on a C++ coder he explodes! Then again if you drive a pointer through a VB coders heart they also explode. ;)

:omg: Evidently, the Russians are going to bury the killed Chechen hostage takers in pigskin! Muslim jihad rebels believe they will ascend immediately to heaven as a result of their attacks. Howevr, being buried in a pigskin is supposed to prevent that. Obviously these guys are serious about sending a message [^] to terrorists. Cheers, Tom Archer Author - Inside C#, Visual C++.NET Bible
Shame they didn't put the same effort into telling doctors what people had been gassed with so proper treament could be given X| Would you like to meet my teddy bear ?

:omg: I'm not sure how I feel about this. On one hand it will certainly both enrage the existing fanatics and hurt a fundamental part of their recruiting drive. On the other hand the Russians are allowing this to be a war of ideology and religion, and not of criminal behavior. If we allow the Islamic fundamentalists to turn this into a war of ideology, it will lead to total disaster. The aim of the free world should be to continually paint these lunatics as criminals outside of even their own societies. Attacking them with religion is a mistake. David
It is already a war over ideology and religion. We just can't admit it.

Not that I think any C++ coder can learn VB in 21 days even. VB is a very subtle language which requires a lifetime of dedication and thought. This is why C++ coders don't get it, they can't handle it....

Yup. A loophole like "If you strap bombs to your chest and kill the enemy you can be buried in mohair jackets with porcupine quills and you will still go to heaven and enter into the Sacred Harem Of a Thousand Naked Virgins all at your service."
