What surprised me about that whole discussion is that nobody (well, I didn't read ALL the threads) offered the idea to design a language in which indexing with integers could be completely eliminated (well, except me, harhar). Marc
Careful. You'll be advocating programming in English next.

Don't laugh too hard, Pete... It's been done. I spent a bit of time writing interactive fiction games (Text adventures, like the old HHG2G game), and though I didn't go this route, there's one interpreter that actually does let you code in natural language... Here's a sample of an open-source game by one of the most well-known designers in the community (Not me :) ) http://inform7.com/learn/eg/bronze/source.html[^]: Yes, that's program code. It doesn't look like it, but it is.
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

Most use of indexes can be eliminated by holding a reference [them kids don't like me saying *pointer] to the element and moving forward or backwards along the array.

Author of the Guardians Saga (Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels)The long term lounge regulars should get my reference to programming in English. It was a major controversy a while back.

No way. I still want that huge touch screen wall where I can just move things around, like when Crusher's son reprogrammed the tractor beam into a repulsor beam. That's how programming should be done! Marc

I just want something were I can think what I want the thing to do and it is done.

I have forgotten more than I know, that's for sure. Back in the day I have been high level in COBOL, Fortran C, C++ and myriad different scripting languages. Now I can barely manage a bit of Java and the odd foray into C#.

A lot of our server is written in C++, I pretend to not understand that 'complicated mumbo-jumbo' code. Scarily, I can still read it and understand SETF it is doing. Writing in C++ is a different sport all together and I'm not sure if it even uses balls.

I was a C/C++ programmer for years, so it's good for me to be looking at it again. You forget how coddled you are by .NET.

Ooh, I get to write one of these. I have to use Outlook at my client's site, and I noticed a couple weeks ago that it was stuck reporting 4 new emails in my inbox, even though there were none. Closing Outlook and restarting it fixed that problem. Now I notice it reports no new emails in my inbox, but I have several! [rant]WTF Microsoft. Can't you figure out how to count new emails???[/rant] Marc
These are what MS have started to call 'Grey mail'[^] (Does that make them Emailence grise?). As we all know "All cats emails look grey in the dark." and I can't think of anywhere darker than the innards of Outlook.

We have Outlook 2010 in our business, around 110+ licences and all various configs (Exchange accounts, POP3). We exprience around 4 faults per week, mainly with emails stuck sending (outbox syndrome). One reason thats cause the problem is PST file size. Try deleting mails (shift+delete).

possibly already said. I saw something like this once, but that was because mail was stuck on the server side. I have never seen it happen in a long to due to many of the systems I work with now are on exchange. could this be it too? filters? Was just thinkin.

Can't see any new emails? There's an easy fix for that. Highlight the first email in the Inbox, then press Ctrl-U. Voila! You have mail! :-D

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.
