    :laugh: But that looks like a C# comment to me: he wanted java... (Yes, yes, I know they are the same, picky, picky, picky...)

      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...

                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?

                  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.

                              Since JAVA means Just Another Virus Attack. It can run as it like.

                              Regards, Koushik. Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out if they've got a second. Give your dreams all you've got and you'll be amazed at the energy that comes out of you.
