    Why is the 256th day of the year considered programmer's day?

        I guess, because he realized that he was failing when creating men, somewhat like 'Oh no, If only men were worth the effort, too... ' ;P

          Well, the answer to this problem (is the man better, or is it the woman?) is too gender-specific to even start thinking about it (I don't think even the Soapbox could handle this discussion ;P ) :thumbsup:

            256 % 42 is also 6. God created the world in 6 days and the 7th day, He rested.

                Because there are only 10 kinds of people, those that know binary and those that don't. BTW I once met a person who was convinced there was a way to store more than 256 values in 8 bits. :wtf:

                  Well, of course, that was a compromise: Adam: Hey, God, I want you to make a copy of me so I'll have someone to talk to. God: OK, but I'll need to use bits of you to do it. Adam: Ummm... OK... which bits? God: I'll need an eye, a kidney, one of your balls, an arm and a leg. Adam: Fuck - that seems like a lot! Say - what can you do with... I don't know... just a rib, or something?

                    VB doesn't use semicolons. :)

                        I know that, but I was using Do as a synonym for Party. Hells teeth man, If I was being serious I would not have done it in VB!

                        You indicated that wrote that line of code in VB and then it was stated that a semicolon was not seen so you "patched" it by adding a semicolon. It won't compile with a semicolon. :)

                          :-) I consider the whole thing as at least quite funny; I mean all the discussion about male/female...but most of the time i´m bored about that.... I think, there is no better or worse, it just depends on how everyone interacts with his/her environment, independently whether you are male ore female... honestly i´m getting tired of m/f comparisons... :zzz: why do compare at all??? you can meet male idiots. you can meet female idiots. it´s nothing more but the difference of two letters...: LE
