The best answer up to now, collectively arrived at: Somebody wanted to write 'et cetera' and then some smart auto correction knew better. A while ago he asked me what he should have printed on my business cards. I said 'Wizard'. I read books which nobody else understand. Then I do something which nobody understands. After that the computer does something which nobody understands. When asked, I say things about the results which nobody understand. But everybody expects miracles from me on a regular basis. Looks to me like the classical definition of a wizard.

probably it was more that "Linux and marketing" thing. You can mention them in one sentence, e.g. "Company X, completely unlike the Linux guys, understands marketing". Agh! Reality! My Archnemesis![^] | FoldWithUs! | sighist | µLaunch - program launcher for server core and hyper-v server.

Number Two reminds me on my first visit to Elbonia - ehm Lithuania - back in 1992. When I was about to pay a bill somewhere, they calculated the sum with that thing quite quickly (I hope correctly...) and then showed me that thing, which I could not read....

Well, I got ripped a new one when I asked a C++ usenet group how to create a window. Along the way, I learned about C++, and I learned to respect the help I got from people who plainly knew a lot more than me, and offered me help for free.

Well, no doubt he was Moron of the day... but this [^]one either isnt far enough... just in a different way so not comparable! :doh:

The article in question was about using a commercial product. Not in itself bad, or unusal, however in order to use the code described one would have to purchase the product. As Chris has explained he has tried to limit articles to those that the ordinary development can use, without additional purchases. I believe the author was hit by copy cat voters, once one chimed in about inappropriate material, others echoed the feeling. I also believe the author, with a self professed long history of development took it a little too far with a sour grapes attitude and a "I'll take my toys and leave" approach. I know the language. I've read a book. - _Madmatt
