What? Are people still using that old fashioned symbol? Isn't it ready for the bin where they keep the cowrie shells?:laugh: In North American # is very much referred to as a "pound symbol". You have to think globally man!;P

Boo, hiss. Every true C++/C# programmer knows that he correct line is:

Latest Articles: Object Comparer String HelpersHashmark? Well I know some people that would rather be the "hash" in hashmark than an ass, but really it's called a pound symbol in these here parts.

Blasphemy!!!! It's no wonder you don't like astericks if you don't use them correctly. The astreick line has one leading slash and one trailing slash:

You sir are perilously close to not being accepted as a founding member of //#EDCC#. We do make exceptions if you would be willing to plead Canucks deprivation, but that excuse may well run out within a few months so act now! ;)

I do not comment out code. Code that has to be commented out should not have been written in the first place. ;)

The CoCo rocked. At one point I had one with 64k, dual floppies, and was beta testing cartriges. Dungeons of Dagorath (sp) was the best game for it though, since the joysticks were beyond useless. A R A R R R R T R T R A R A R

Ok that was weird. Is it just me or is the preview button doubling as the submit button. I clicked preview on the message, the preview pane popped up but stayed blank and the message was posted. Could be a deadly combination if one types a nasty message never intending to post and clicks the preview button just for jollies :(

Happened to me, too. Probably you are using the Trixie-/GreaseMonkey-CPhog-plugin? After I disabled it, it works again :-) I guess that's a reason why they discuss on the greasemonkey-forum to provide a more visual "There is a user script running on the current page"-symbol/notification. -- Affordable Windows-based CMS for only 99 €: try www.zeta-producer.com for free!

I see your point but the pound symbol is "£".... "#" == hash ... or for the .NET or music inclined, sharp. Regards, Brian Dela :-) Blog^ Co-author of The Outlook Answer Book... Go on, pre-order^ it today! Regular Expression Library builder^
Except the musical sharp sign actually has the two vertically slanted lines straight up and down and the horizontal lines and a slight up angle. So, C# should really be called C-Hash in Europe and C-Pound in North America. Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine. - P.J. O'Rourke

The "£"? Oh you mean that quaint old thing.;P We're all Euro now baby! In Canada and possibly the U.S. although nothing is certain with them these days the pound symbol is a # and it's most often heard in voice mail "...press the pound key if this is your choice.." etc.
"A preoccupation with the next world pretty clearly signals an inability to cope credibly with this one."
It's called the "hash" symbol here in Asia too. Majority wins. :-D And anyone who's anyone knows that this: :)
//#%$^@#%$^@#%$^@#%$^@#%$^@#%$^@#%$^@#%$^@#%$^@#%$^@#%$^@#%$^@//:) is the right way to comment. It's strangely gratifying too. ;)
You can't stop the signal

John Cardinal wrote: We're all Euro now baby! TO be honest... I don't think in £'s anymore at all... although it's probably to do with the weird conversion rate from Irish £'s to €'s that made the switch so damn easy.

/******************************************************************/ :omg: GADZOOKS! How are you going to comment out code as needed? :cool:
I might comment out code temporarily while testing, but it gets deleted before checking in. That way you don't get confused if you miss the comment intro. This is a particular problem if the original source code used /* */ comments, which don't nest. The only way to comment that out of a program is a
#ifblock, and in the older tools such as VC 6 and its derivatives eVC 3.0 and 4.0, that doesn't change syntax colouring. If you find you need the code after all, you can always retrieve it from source control. Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder -
