    Hi guys, we all know that so much cool technology comes out of Japan. So doesn't it strike anyone as odd that on the demographics page, there are NO Japanese developers listed? I know that there is the laguage thing to consider, but if that's the case, then why are the chinese developers featured prominently here? And I've noticed this with other similar sites as well. Where are all the Japanese developers?? Just another wannabe code junky

                      Uhuuuhu. I doubt this will happen soon/anytime :-) It was just to avoid people trying to steal CPs success by simply grabbing the domain name in their country. You all can contribute: get CodeProject.[yourcountry] and redirect it to CodeProject.com. (That's just an idea of MINE, Chris has nothing to do with it :-)). -- See me: www.magerquark.de

                                Cool! I've always assumed your name is of Spanish (Mexican) origin. I probably associated it with saguaro :). I would never thought of it being a Japanese name. My dictionary says it means something like "good fellow" or maybe even "mutual goodness", but i'm not good at this, so i could be way off. Call me weird, but i love japanese names, especially female ones:-O.

I guess Mom has the dominant genes in the relationship. :) Jon Sagara What about :bob:? Sonork ID: 100.9999 jonsagara
