      You're having fun at my expense, aren't you? *hangs head in shame* Yes, alas, yes, you have foiled and humbled me. :(( Forgive and forget? It was the end of the day and John had not posted anything worthy of ribbing, your post however just sat up and begged to be ribbed. Actually, to be honest, I get annoyed reading poorly written posts myself. Though that does not mean my posts are written at all well. Double standards, I know :) our God given right to be opinionated Ahhh now, it depends on whether you believe in god or God. Does it not? :-D > the Queen mums English the Queen mum's English You should be an editor or an English teacher. Red ink and all ;) Have a good evening and I was just ribbing you, no harm meant :) regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge "In other words, the developer is dealing with an elephant, the accountant is dealing with a bunny rabbit." by Stan Shannon - 16/10/2001

        I was just thinking that many of the regulars at Code Project know each other pretty well, but I was wondering about those that have just discovered CodeProject. Are you sitting back, mouth agape, wondering what this is all about, or just watching the inmates in a bemused fashion while you find your way around? In any case, it would be cool if all those who have just signed on droped in to say hi and let us know who you are, where you live and what you do. cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject)

          I'm back at a normal job now. 2 years in startup land didn't bring the financial rewards I was expecting :) but the experience was well worth the 16 hour days imho. I'm also playing with some ideas in my spare time - nothing exciting. Unfortunately, I haven't had the time to keep up with the whole .Net thing but hope to catch up at some point! Any idea what Zafir is up to? Is/was he @ Dice? Cheers, /ravi "There is always one more bug..." http://www.ravib.com ravib@ravib.com

            Hi, I'm a CAD/CAM software engineer. I'm using CodeProject since the beginning ( Member Since Thursday 6th July, 2000 ) , but the last 2 years, I only used it on work, and because of the cookies ( cookies were disabled in the Cie ), I couln'd use the forums, and couldn't log me in. Today, I'm living in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I'm seeking a job in the CAD/CAM industry or 3d software ( if you have one, you can contact me ;-) ). I'm planning to developp a free CAD/CAM Solid Modeler ( http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/exotk ) using OpenCASCADE ( www.opencascade.org / www.opencascade.com ). I'm also planning to post more articles. I already wrote one ( http://www.codeproject.com/splitter/automaticsplitter.asp ). Stephane

              >> Do you have any idea why they implemented C++ and Java like that? 1. assignment is completely different from comparison, 2. a=b evaluates to the value of a after assignment, so you can write funny things like while ( (ch = getch())!=-1) { ... } instead of ch = getch(); while (ch!=-1) { ... ch = getch(); } this is the obvious, final, and ultimate proof that C++ is of course superior to all other languages, including but not limited to programming languages, and all the fuzz is only because some VB mules didn's get it yet. ;P

                Greetings from Ireland, I discovered CodeProject well over a year ago, when I was learning C++. Then the company decided they wanted me to do (yaaawwwwwn) ASP, so I changed job - now I use Delphi :confused:. The articles used to be realy interesting, but I have absolutely no interest in all things .NET. But, the lounge is definitely the place to visit when feeling a little bored/stressed. Laurence We aim to make the complex simple, and the simple idiot-proof; we just don't aim too good.

                  I'm unsure which APL you are talking about, I learn't APL (A Programming Language) at age 13, Our teacher liked it because he didn't have to buy many punch cards :-) Later I found learning Assembler Instructions easy compared to APL :-) If it's the same APL you are right it is elegant :-) It is what I would call a write once lingo, You never want to edit/debug it. :-) Regardz Colin J Davies P.S I need beta testers for VMTU.

                  Speed up your internet connection with VMTU

                  Variable Maximum Transfer Unit, or VMTU is an algorithm for negotiating the packet sizes passed from your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to your Internet TCP connection. The connection speed does not increase; the throughput of the modem is improved.

                    Hi, I've been reading CodeProject for a while but recently discovered the lounge, which just about gets me through a days work. I'm Head of Development at E-creation (web development company) just outside London. I'm now shifting the company to .NET, specifically ASP.NET and C#. Cheers, Paul Barrass

                      Hi! I'm Luca from Bari, a really nice place in the south of Italy. I am not really new to CP, since it's nearly a year that I use it... You are great! Now I discovered how funny is reading the Lounge... here there aren't many programmers, or maybe since I'm seventeen many of my friends are not really interested in using the PC for something more than games... :) I'm working on a program to display maths functions and to do a little study upon them - nothing really new and Derive is simply inimitable, but hey I learned a lot writing this program!!! It is called Equation Editor. Although my site is in Italian, this software is available both in Italian and English... maybe you can give it a try, but consider that the online version is nearly half a year old. I don't seem able to finish anything! Every time I reach 90% of development, something forces me to rewrite it from scratch!!! Is this a common issue? Or that's just me being lazy? :) :) :) When I feel too stressed to work on this software, I use eJay to create some dance/techno songs. Nothing really great, but I'm learning... :) Ok I have finished this nonsense message (BTW, my first post)... bye and thanks to all!!! P.S.: Sorry for my English, that's the result of three hours/week of study... :) Luca Leonardo Scorcia, alias The Keejay vrkeejay@hotmail.com http://zip.to/kojak (only in Italian)

                          Wow I didn't know any of you yougun's knew anything about APL, Let alone used it. I had a job interview years ago, and the interviewer thought I was taking the Piss when I said I had some APL experience. (The Noddy didn't believe the lingo existed. It sure was a great way to learn, but I too would have prefered a keyboard with stickers on it, instead of cards. :-) Regardz Colin J Davies P.S I need beta testers for VMTU.

                            I've been here (CP) around a month, but i'm quite new to the lounge. I'm a 19-year old student from Wales, UK. I've always enjoyed programming and the rewards it brings, much to the amusement of my fellow classmates. Started programming with AMOS on my amiga about 10 years ago. After about a year, i sold it, and didn't program again until around 3 years ago, where Pascal was introduced at college. I got into C++ in my spare time, and have recently warmed to MFC, which i'm really enjoying because it's improving my c++ skills simultaneously. So, hello to anyone reading this. It's a nice little community you've got here. :) --- Simon decided that his 'ironlung' nickname sounded kinda stupid, so he decided to use his real name

                                I've been around CodeProject ever since the fallout of CodeGuru. I'm a 22-year-old engineering student at UCLA (her in the United States) and work as a part-time programmer (C++/MFC/ASP/VBScript) there. I have about 4 more classes to go before I need to jump into the real world and "feel your pain.":) Frank

                                      I was trying to paraphrase the sort of pr0n spam I get from ICQ every day. I got a total classic yesterday in my inbox, some porn site claims to have all four of Bin Laden's wives in a 'lesbian sandwhich'. Can anyone say 'Photoshop' ???
