What is the meaning of The Lounge?
-
A lounge is a place where people generally relax and socialize. The Lounge on Code Project is a virtual lounge. We start conversations on random topics, post jokes (though some people really shouldn't try this), and share and discuss news. Topics are wide ranging, such as new gadgets, experiences (bad or good) with new technologies, physics, weekend activities, true stories in our lives, recipes, biology, farting techniques, math, puzzles, and so on (yeah, pretty much whatever). As you read The Lounge, you'll get a feel for the types of things we like to discuss and the things we don't like to discuss. Some things to avoid posting in The Lounge: programming questions, adult material not suitable for young audiences, dumb jokes, flame wars, things likely to start flame wars (e.g., political or religious opinions), insults, reposts (i.e., things that have already been posted in The Lounge), Facebookish/Twitterish posts, and encouraging DD to post while he's drunk. The Lounge is a fun place, and participation can be very rewarding.

This guy. Oh, and one more rule to follow in The Lounge... use well-formed English. There are some very pedantic people here who will get all huffy if you use txt speak or frequently spell things incorrectly. Just a friendly warning. :)

DD = "Dalek Dave". A gentleman and "Doctor Who" fan who sets a Cryptic Crossword Clue each weekday, but has an unfortunate habit of drinking too much then announcing the fact to the world - normally in the form of a Cryptic Crossword Clue but much harder! Do not encourage him to post anything on the subject of stuffed toy geckos - it always end in tears.
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

DD is Dalek Dave, who needs no incentive to post here. He's become something of an icon, despite his fairly recent appearance, and a welcome one. He regularly posts interesting thoughts, despite his lack of coherency. Although accountants can rarely claim to normal human intelligence, he seems to be the exception to the rule. Watch for his posts; they're bound to be entertaining.

Actually, never, though people do like to ask me that very question quite frequently. :rolleyes:

And I quote: "The Lounge is a place where you can discuss anything that takes your fancy. If you just want to laze about and discuss things that don't quite fit elsewhere, then this is the place. Posting Guidelines: The Lounge is rated PG. If you're about to post something you wouldn't want your kid sister to read then don't post it. No flame wars, no abusive conduct and please don't post ads."

There is no meaning. There is only The Lounge.

That's all beside the point. Did you even bother to read the question? More relevant would be this[^], and/or this[^], and/or this[^]. :~

From 1. "Year 43 (XLIII) was a common year starting on Tuesday " Thanks for that. I have gone all these years thinking it started on a Thursday. :-O Re 2. I cannot retain 43 things in my memory. 3. Trendy, Fashionable, International. That describes me to a T. :laugh:
