Trollslayer wrote: The stupid part is that you didn't notice the difference in service periods even though the technology is the same. Actually the stupid part is the assumption of servicing every 3000 miles. You're wrong there, use google. It's an outdated recommendation of changing the oil every 3000 miles. If you read automotive literature, you'll see a range of 5000-10000 under ideal conditions. Trollslayer wrote: It is ecpected that a car looked after will last 150,000 to 200,000 miles. I also feel your assumption about a car's lifespan may be wrong. I have had multiple U.S. built cars last 150,000+ miles. A 1994 Chevy Blazer, an '86 T-bird, and an '85 Chevy Monte Carlo. My '97 Toyota started going downhill at about 130k. My friend's '94 Jeep just rolled over 250k. I know this is just anecdotal. I think the issue is people don't take care of stuff, and just abuse a car until it fails then trade it in, that's why U.S. cars got a bad rap. Trollslayer wrote: The patronising part is that you made an assumption about me. My assumption regarding you was based on your classification of changing oil as a major servicing. You said that U.S. cars require major servicing every 3000 miles. Based on this, changing oil is a major servicing? I frankly do not see how basically changing the engine oil is major servicing.

windows only? in this day and age? i'll pass

I'd be more interested in seeing a few independent sites add it to their next testing rounds. Cummulative data from forum posts is too vulnerable to ringers to be trustworthy. 3x12=36 2x12=24 1x12=12 0x12=18

I heard the same in 97 when Blair won. Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. or "Drink. Get drunk. Fall over." - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre

thats an old one(posted months back), yet gud post.cheers. Ravi S Coding is my birth-right and bugs are part of feature my code has! _________________________________________ Me  Facebook  Twitter

Yes, there's this one I found very useful: http://www.phlonx.com/resources/nf3/[^] The one I was referring to is this one: http://www.databasedesign-resource.com/entity-relationship.html[^] and download the free ebook. There is only one satisfying way to boot a computer.

Thanks for the reply. I've been thinking along similar lines. My routines 'work' as I have them implemented at the moment. I was wondering at the time I was writing the routines whether it was the 'best' way. I've been 'brought up' as a procedural programmer and find OO programming a complete paradigm shift to what I'm used to! No trees were harmed in the posting of this missive; however, a large number of quantum states were changed.

Once downloaded, the link between code and article isn't obvious anymore, so IMO it makes sense to include something in the source files, maybe a "CPOL applies" sentence with a hyperlink to the CPOL page (assuming that link NEVER will change). I would suggest you suggest people to do that... BTW: There recently has been a suggestion along these lines: CodeProject might consider automatically adding a file to every ZIP that is uploaded, containing some general information about CP, as well as the link to the article the files belong to; I would not like CP changing all the files inside the ZIP! :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [Why QA sucks] [My Articles] I only read code that is properly formatted, adding PRE tags is the easiest way to obtain that. [The QA section does it automatically now, I hope we soon get it on regular forums as well]

You're welcome. I had been searching for what AnyCPU actually did a couple days ago and this thread was one of the first hits on google, so now that I know I figured I should update it for future searchers.

Human brain: ~4TB (combined memory RAM and HDD) P.S. only 4-5% of that is a RAM Modern (home) computers: 1-2 TB of HDD + 4-8GB of RAM Human brain: bit = 0/1/2/3 (four nucleobases) Modern computers: bit = 0/1 Human brain: byte = 3 nucleobases (gene) Modern computers: byte = 8 bits Human brain: electricity charge speed over a neuron = 80-120m/s Modern computers: electron mobility in semiconductors ~140m/s Human brain: it appears to have several, two main and several with low function in CNS. There are also helping brains in bigger bones. Modern computers: 1-8 CPU with 1-8 cores/several central side processors like FPU; and helping processors like GPU; Human brain: External control - the human on which the brain is installed :laugh: or unknown. The external factor that controls the brain is commonly called soul or brain's owner... Modern computers: controlled by everyone who has access to keyboard, mouse (and power button :)) Software that is able to store ~60 years of pictures (moving pictures=movie), audio, smells, tastes, feeling, emotions and any kind of that on a 4TB the way that stores the information is unique. If you need to catch a 60 years on a cam, you will need 600TB+, so brain is better. The computer usually stops execution when it encounters an error, the brain - not. Execution is persistant through the error states. The computer need to be turned on. After the OS completes loading it does nothing, it is in idle, until the user do something on it. The big question is "who is the brain's user?"
