LOL :-D Kant wrote: * You think FrontPage and WYSIWYG are for sissies. I don't know what "sissi" means, bt it looks silly enought to agree :) reminds my when schoolmate asked me what editor do I use for MathML on mi site... I couldn't understand why to use editor and he couldn't belive that I wrote all the MathML by hand :) Kant wrote: * You think programming jokes are funny. Even worse (better?), I think math jokes are funny as well! ;P regards, David 'DNH' Nohejl Never forget: "Stay kul and happy" (I.A.)

Aparently the author thinks there are people so dedicated to their... "craft"... that they'll undertake the blindingly difficult task of learning to fake a sneeze, just to garner a knee-jerk response.

This signature was created by "Code Project Quoter".I can relate to almost every one of those, except... Kant wrote: You think of character encoding issues when you write on paper. Geeks don't write on...what did you call it...paper. White boards, maybe, but not paper. Kant wrote: You think the vi editor is actually usable. It[^] is usable! I do much of my coding with vim and a handful of custom vim scripts! :) Thanks for the insightful confirmation :) This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

What do you mean "You think the vi editor is actually usable" I thought it was. Is there something better out there? Wow something better than vi I shutter at the thought what more could you want? ;P

There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't. We shouldn't assume something's debugged just because everyone in the whole world has access to the source code.
