        I wonder if other industries are populated with the sort of person who posts questions like:

        Quote:

        Iam unable to find the code for [redacted]. Ihave been searching for [redacted] but didnt found any exact code. Please help

        Do they really believe that the job of a developer consists purely of Cut & Paste? Discuss.

          No, mice were for those with the luxury of paper tape: we were all punch cards which needed cat-tooth holes. Besides, we couldn't afford the cheese.

                    Clearly the problem is that your thingies aren't aligned properly on your disky. To fix, run "format C:\"

                      I ran for 5 minutes yelling format C with a disappointing face. It still does not work. BTW, emoticon for disappointed face is : |. You are welcome. *I had to search if colon backward slash is a shorthand for an emoticon. Looks like it is not.

                                        Do programmers gain exp by copy and paste?

                                          I wonder if other industries are populated with the sort of person who posts questions like:

                                          Quote:

                                          Iam unable to find the code for [redacted]. Ihave been searching for [redacted] but didnt found any exact code. Please help

                                          Do they really believe that the job of a developer consists purely of Cut & Paste? Discuss.

                                          Just for the hell of it, I'll be optimistic. That implies that an old timer like myself (and many others in this lounge) don't have to worry about job security. Well, at least until the above-referenced cretins take over the management positions.
