Consider that phone makers don't even want you to know there is such a thing as a "file system". You can draw your conclusions from that.

Clearly not a real-time programmer then! It's not a question of optimization, it's a question of a race condition. Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.

Think of base-26 (there are 26 letters in the English alphabet)... So XFD is X * 26^2 + F * 26 + D, where X = 24, F = 6 and D = 4... So it comes to 16224 + 156 + 4 = 16384 Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

A million records in Excel is a disaster waiting to happen. Or possibly multiple disasters that have already happened -- there's no way of verifying that it is behaving correctly. I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Software developers - we're the Top Gun's of IT (or something like that) :cool: I feel the need, the need for coffeeeed.... :java: How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

Although I know you were trying to be funny here, you exercised your right to poor form. Just saying...

"Man" can also be used as a synonym of "personage", which as a king he certainly was. If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

As Mr Hawking would say - Don't answer that

The other day I built a 16bit messaging system in Minecraft. Best pointless fun I've had in a long time.

For the US friends, I'd mention the case of Sacco and Vanzetti: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacco_and_Vanzetti[^]. For you, den2k88, I believe you mean the Chiara murder. I agree, the media often move the people's opinion toward a certain direction, but...you should bear in mind the "evidences" and the "reasonable" way. I personally don't think the murderer was an alien or someone escaped into the 5th dimension. There were other murders (Perugia, Unabomber, etc) where lots of clues were indicating "a certain person". Sounds you nice seeing those people free as anyone else? Hope you'll mean. Ciao

I am well aware of the Marley song, and I'm also well aware of the meaning of "natty dread", but I still don't have a clue as to what you're talking about. I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Alternatively. Author X spends maybe a year of his/her life writing a book. They sacrifice their free time to produce this book. Obviously, they aren't doing it for the love of writing, they are doing it to earn some money from it. Now, if everyone in the world downloads that book without paying for it, then that author gets nothing. But, hey, it's okay to download the book because the author can afford it. Suddenly, because it's alright for one author, then it's alright for all authors. Suddenly, you get no to the point where people stop producing books because no one pays for them anymore.

ROFLMFAO!!! I guess he didn't need to have good hand-eye coordination, he just needed to be on the field.

Two more Rom Coms, my two favorites. (If you are becoming an expert, bonus points for you!) I feast on these by myself. I could have company, I suppose, but I pick my battles compromises carefully. ;) The Family Stone Bridget Jones' Diary I think I will check out The Holiday too, having just spent Thanksgiving at my folks house where my kids watched "School of Rock" on a loop and I got hooked myself.

Thanks Ravi! Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.
