      Nope, it's the sound of something going by at just above head height... Va-va-voom is the sound of something going by at waist height

            Good spot. Do you check all articles for that ?

            No, not all - but you just get a "sense" that some of them are not quite what they purport to be: it can be font, a change in writing style, word choice, or just the images chosen. Or perhaps a eighth sense... Then it's generally a random sentence thrown at Google and "Bingo!" you have the source. Or in some cases "sources" - some of the impressive articles are copied loads of times! Sorry to reply here, but the would-be article has been closed, so this was the only way to reach you.

                    Yeah wouldn't recommend clicking Googles "I'm feeling lucky" on that one. Was going to put a warning in my sig. saying don't Google but of course that would just have the opposite effect.

                    I've been curios for a while now... why did you choose that name? It seems kinda out-of-place on this site.

                    What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

                      I don't know about that, I'd say there's a lot of irritating Cunts on this site.

                          Oh great, that's the current buzz word around here. Now I will have to stifle a laugh the next time I hear it. Thanks Ravi. :doh:

                            I'd feel a deep sense of relief if you and DeathByChocolate took yourselves offline, as in to a small island somewhere with no internet connection. Perhaps on Bora Bora, or the like, you could bore yourselves to death.
