    I recently got a job in a company established 15 years ago, well established and well known among its customers, as in: a very serious company. But today, our boss (err..actually his wife:^)) decided to bring this guy that can 'feel the space' (I'm not impressed:|) So, he was waving around with a metal thing attached to another metal thing (now I'm totaly not impressed:|), and actually feeling that increadible space around us (like, we can't feel it, only the chosen can:wtf:). I wonder now as I have wondered then, would he feel the space around my clenched fist breaking through him. Right..but that's not all. His method of testing whether one's workspace was good or not was trying to separate two fingers. Yes, separating two fingers. You place your thumb against your pointing finger and he tries to separate them. If he succeedes, you're full of energy and your workspace is just fine. If not, well, you gotta move. Now I was wandering, will he EVER find a man whose fingers he will not be able to separate with his two hands. That man will be called The Terminator. X| So, that test depends on whether he will decide to separate your fingers or just leave you be.:zzz: I told the guy straight away that I don't quite believe in that shEEt, so he did not separate my fingers (man, I'm full of energy:omg: ) But, my buddy next to me has to move. About 50cm to the right. My God, THAT will improve his life dearly. Just for the refference, I do believe in supernatural things, things we cannot explain, but if this guy can feel the space..then I oughta ask him to tell me which toilet seat is better for me, for I do not know, in my spatial ignorance, which one is appropriate for the task.:doh: What do you guys think?? --- http://sprdsoft.cmar-net.org - We Sprd You Softly Our site features contents and several images.

      Hmm... I'd start looking for a job as a space-feeler, as soon as things get out of hand. It might be a new business, the mystic energy bubble following the new economy bubble. Showing off and telling people to move a few centimeters cannot be too complicated. :cool: _________________________________ Please inform me about my English mistakes, as I'm still trying to learn your language!

      True :) Wait! That must be it! I'll start working as a programming feng shui grandmaster:doh:. I'll just go around and say things like: No, you must move this function above this one or you and your app will not feel alright. M'kay? Rename this variable and remove this declaration and your code will be in perfect harmony, no negative energy in your code shalt exist.:rolleyes: And I am pretty sure I'd find someone who would actually pay me to do that:omg::cool: --- http://sprdsoft.cmar-net.org - We Sprd You Softly Our site features contents and several images.

            I have always wondered if it would be possible to write code so that feng shui could arrange memory allocations and disk space etc. Regardz Colin J Davies The most LinkedIn CPian (that I know of anyhow) :-)

            Feng shou with memory allocation is easy. Same program: all together. different program: as far as possible. :laugh: Silver at last!!

                First they are used to skeptics, second they are used to praise. There is very little you can throw at them to make them uncomfortable... but you can. :)After my little brother's death as a teen my mother was REAL big on the psychic visits. Most either played on her doubts or on her hopes. This is very common. It's fun to follow them around and listen to the leading questions, enough that to make a lawyer squirm. But you can make them uncomfortable. It's called adoration, false or not, you can enjoy watching them squirm. "Wow, that is incredible. I have never heard anyone who understood so much about me. You should really go collect the 1 million reward I heard about. Someone called the Amazing Randy is offering 1 million US money to anyone who can prove supernatural powers or phenomena really exist. You should collect it, I know you can." I know, I know... it's cruel. But it also makes me smile because deep down inside I keep hearing Tina Fey say, "I think it’s a supernatural phenomenon when a magician named The Amazing Randy has a million dollars!" _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.
