      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.

        I tried your code but I got an error; "The file 'InsertYourFilenameHere.xml' could not be found." How do I fix this? Plz it's urgent!

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

                              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.

                                In this day and age where youth are programmed to have their thinking done for them, I do not find this surprising. My experience as a lead tech for a service department says yes, there are other afflicted industries. The electronic technicians that are turned out these days are unable to troubleshoot effectively but they are good* at swapping parts until the device works. *Good being far to generous a term to describe their skills as an electronic technician.

                                It was broke, so I fixed it.

                                    Writing code is hard! Well, actually, it's all that thinking you have to do before writing the code.

                                      I call them Jimmy Kodes[^]. A few characteristics includes, 1. They never wanted to be developers/programmers. 2. They took a course about programming, by being impressed by Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page etc. 3. Even if you give them code, they would come back and say, how to deploy it? Finally, I have learnt that the solution to them is only to ignore them or at best, give them a RTFM look! :laugh:

                                        In this day and age where youth are programmed to have their thinking done for them, I do not find this surprising. My experience as a lead tech for a service department says yes, there are other afflicted industries. The electronic technicians that are turned out these days are unable to troubleshoot effectively but they are good* at swapping parts until the device works. *Good being far to generous a term to describe their skills as an electronic technician.

                                        It was broke, so I fixed it.

                                        That one kills me, when asked why they chose that part to replace, you get the deer-in-headlights look along with the crickets chirping sound. If you're 'lucky' you'll get the "well it worked before....on a different problem".

Twitter is where you tell the truth to strangers." - chriselst "I don't drink any more... then again, I don't drink any less." - Mike Mullikins uncle

                                          I call them Jimmy Kodes[^]. A few characteristics includes, 1. They never wanted to be developers/programmers. 2. They took a course about programming, by being impressed by Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page etc. 3. Even if you give them code, they would come back and say, how to deploy it? Finally, I have learnt that the solution to them is only to ignore them or at best, give them a RTFM look! :laugh:
