Chris's wealth :)

I agree completely with what you have said, but it isn't quite as easy as you make it out to be. If you ever went to a college party in your youth then you would know that it is all too easy to start those 'meaningful' conversations that the chicks love, and then in turn it's very hard to refrain from the ensuing sex. With or without alcohol. Now I personally can count the girls I've slept with on one hand (hey, as I say, I'm still young), and out of them only two were part of a ongoing relationship. The others were all one night girls as a result of getting a little too chatty at parties. I fail to see what is wrong with that? Both parties knew that it was merely a simple 'borrowing' of the others body to releive the most basic of human urges. The fact that we both liked each other was probably not that important. My point is that in the twentyith century sex finally moved out of the realm of "only if your married" and into "it's okay to have fun with your body". If both parties have fun, what can possibly be wrong with it? Short of some religious arguments that I wont pay attention to. David Wulff dwulff@battleaxesoftware.com

Oh man - I'm not sure I wanna go here :) Ah well - I've just had a glass of the nicest Chardonnay I've ever tasted so why not... but how much wealth has the codeproject brought to Chris? I'm still in Canberra, and my car is 8 years old and squeaks. I think it's your duty as Code Project readers to tell your boss that we have 200,000 incredibly cool, handsome and exceedingly generous readers who are desperate to hear about their product, and that advertising helps CodeProject, and hence the aforementioned handsome readers, which in turn helps them, the boss. Do women adore him these days? As opposed to when I wasn't a computer geek and merely a maths geek? Hmm - tough one ;) Take a random sample of the people in this industry. Chances are they are all guys. Actually testing the theory as to the animal magnetism (or lack thereof) CodeProject generates would require some test subjects. Potential subjects can email me at... Can he go to a café, walk straight to the hottest chick in town and say:"hey babe, I'm Chris. From the codeproject that is." Absolutely. I can, for the same price, have the drink of my choice poured down my front, over my head, or in my lap. The only time that I can recall CodeProject being a winner with the fairer sex was in Atlanta when a charming young lady wanted to know who the cute little green guy was on my T-shirt. It's a start! To be honest, when I'm travelling in the States it's the accent, not the job that piques curiosity the most. :-D cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject)
If it's your brakes squeaking that means you need a brake job. If it is coming from the engine compartment you either need a belt or altenator, power steering pump or something like that. Its your cars way of saying fix me. Kindof like how the smoke coming from a computer means its time to remove the paper clip (not the word one). My dad is a GM certified Master Mechanic for several years so I know alot about this (sometimes to much) -Matt Newman :suss:

It's the front suspension strut mounting rubbers, and also the front rollbar bushes. Rear brakes squeak a little due to glazing but I'm too lazy to pull the rotors off and take them in for machining. Cam and alternator belts are new, but the idler pulley bearings are shot and I don't even want to think about what they would cost. I used to work on all my cars myself (I've had 15!), but they were all sub $1000 jobbies where you could pretty much climb into the engine compartment to do the head or pull off an idler arm. My latest has a V6 shoehorned into a spot originally designed for a 4cyl (it's a Mazda 626) and you're lucky if you can get a screwdriver in there. Actually I remember about a year back the rear LHS caliper locked up due to a faulty handbrake cable, so I was cruising along and smelled this weird smell. A car pulled up along side and were shouting at me a pointing, and when I looked in the rear vision mirror there was a HUGE plume of smoke trailing me. Turns out it was just the brake pad overheating (a tad) but it scared the willies out of me. cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject)

lol beeeeeeelieve me my feelings about this issue are not based on religious rantings or commandments, that stuff can go find another brain to brainwash. As I said, maybe I am just a freak because I don't find it at all fun just having a bit of fun with someone, a mutual but non-binding coupling as it where. Bottom line? I dig the romantic stuff big time and you don't get that with Miss. Onenight Stand. If other people want to do that, then fine I have nothing against them and I have no right even if I did. My issue is with people who don't think it through, who fool around and hurt someone or end up hurt. With people who brag of conquests and actually focus on one girl just so he can tell his buddies "oh yeah, I was the one making her scream last night". regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible." - Chretien Malesherbes

Wow! I want to put twin-turbos and intercooler in my Chevy Cavalier 4-banger but I have run into two problems 1) 0 = $ and 2) For an inline four it takes up a heck of alot of space. -Matt Newman :suss:

Wow you must be really making the bucks at CP if you had 15 cars yeah right :) I use to buy, fix up, and sell cars because. My first one cost me $450 10 years ago. About 5 years ago I changed over 6 cars in 1 year (and made about $300 on each of them). Chris' used car emporium - let me do a deal on you! I want to put twin-turbos and intercooler in my Chevy Cavalier 4-banger We just got the Subaru Liberty B4 - twin turbo 2 litre. Oh man. At $AUD55,000 I'll have to keep buying and selling cars for a few more years ;) cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject)
