    you're acting as if you do believe the C-World will live forever - but it isn't. Mr. Camping was just not curious enough to tell you that the 21. October is the day MS will announce the end of it's support for C++ - which is the end of the world for some.

    Right. There is only one C++ and Bill Gates is its prophet :) Seriously, I don't know how many programming languages I have used in the last 30 years and most of them now are history. And then again the first code I ever wrote was machine code for my first computer and I still do that occasionally.

      For your delectation: from Q&A (no names, no embarassment) I present the entire question: "java code that run even if computer is on or off" Now, anyone got any magic computer dust they don't need, that I can run my PC with?

          Is saying you don't believe ina language X, which evidently exists, a bit like saying you don't believe in rocks? I find it a bit funny when someone says, for example, "I don't believe in alcohol". It eveidently exists, yo0u can't explain my afternoons without it. Saying "I don't believe it is a good idea to drink", while a stupid position to take, is at least a plausible concept. BTW, I like :beer:, I must drink beer. Beer is the mind-killer. Beer is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my beer. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see it's path. When the beer has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. [Thanks jon[^]]

            From your typing, I'm not sure you could explain your mornings without it either...

                      You are trying to rip away the title 'Master of the Obvious' from Griff, right? :) Of course magic, voodoo or any other supersticion require you to ban some knowledge and logic from your mind so that you can believe in it at all. But usually it is covered up a bit better, so that it's not too hard to do so.

                                  For your delectation: from Q&A (no names, no embarassment) I present the entire question: "java code that run even if computer is on or off" Now, anyone got any magic computer dust they don't need, that I can run my PC with?

                                    ..... this runs just as well when the machine is switched off:

                                    //Do Nothing
