    Learn to spell: It's Ear Elephant, a reference to the large ears that elephants have.

    Elephants only got big ears when some of them moved to Africa to join terrorist organisations, to get revenge on the West after so many outsourced projects in India were dropped.

      Codeproject.com is considered a credable news source by major corporations such as Microsoft, and by keeping the stories credable will not only keep Codeproject.com's reputation but it also could become an internationally recognized source for IT news, if not the place to go for such news. I am sorry for being critical about a certain topic.

        Every[^] other[^] technical[^] news[^] source[^] has called[^] it[^] Windows 9. We haven't lost any credibility (or at least any more than everyone else) If it ends up being called something else on the 30th, I will apologize to everyone hurt by my misnaming the software currently known as Windows Threshold.

        According to our resident release pedant the 30th is not going to happen, but obviously you knew that. :laugh:

          If they don't call it "Winfinity" they are missing out. Seriously..lie the 8 on its side and call it winfinity.

          Why should the 8 lie on it's side? Did it share your wine, or did you allude to how W8 has fallen over (all by itself)? :cool:

            Can you provide a source for Code Project being a NEWS source? I cannot find any, a superb resource for code etc, yes I can find lots of references, but news? if you want a NEWS site try the Register or CNET or one of the hundreds of other IT NEWS sites out there, or even the IT sections of NEWSPAPERS all of which are primary news sites not code resource with a bit of recycled news thrown in PS Can you name CP's reporters?

                Mother of God, will he never shut up? Aside: I can't find "credable" in any dictionaries. Anyone know what it means? If it's not a real word, the OP will lose some credibility nothing will happen , because positive integers don't go below zero.

                Probably not, unless the big spam hammer gets wielded.

                      please visit and pay attention to the "source" all the CP sources are links to Threads and NOT news articles. If you have an issue with the other item you need to raise them with the originators, next you will be blaming Google

                        The source does not link their page on code project. Every Television news program does not write 100% the articles, they validate articles before relaying them.
