        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.

          I'm tired of "ask", when what they mean is "enhancement request".  Also "low hanging fruit".  That just sounds dirty. /ravi

            Our chief weapon is surprise, surprise and fear.

                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.

                    Speaking of taking things offline, I Googled your display name, curious, figuring it was some clever programming meme... definitely NSW! :-O Sorry

                    It was broke, so I fixed it.

                      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.
