    Hair Color of the "Person" Icon for a User Group Becomes Gray If the Group Contains More Than 500 Users [^] :laugh: :laugh:


    I always think that the idea of a compiler that compiles another compiler or itself is rather incestuous in a binary way. - Colin Davies My .Net Blog

        Thanks for the link. I really liked this part: Warning Don’t ever change a value in the registry. Ever. We know we just told you to do that, but would you jump off a cliff if we told you to? Don’t ever change a value in the registry. Don’t even say the word registry. We know a guy once who said the word registry, and three days later he was hit by a bus. True story. As a matter of fact, you shouldn’t even have a registry on your computer. If you suspect that you do have a registry on your computer, please call us and a trained professional will be dispatched to your office to remove the registry immediately. If you accidentally touch the registry, wash your hands with soap and water and call a doctor. Do not swallow the registry or get it in your eyes! John

He edited an article I once wrote for MSJ Magazine and tossed in some nice humor for me. If you read his C++ column, you know he's a real witty guy. It's the first part of the mag I go to each month. I may be wrong, but it sure sounds like him. C'mon Paul, fess up! QRZ? de WAØTTN
