We Kufr tend to define Jihad in much the same way. Though I belive it can also refer to a spiritual struggle, rather than a military one. It was a bloody stupid word for him to use. About as tactful as 'Operation Infinute Justice'. Tempers were a little frayed at the time though. Ryan.

The thumnail control used in explorer is available via COM. Can't remember what its called though. Have a google. Ryan

I think you can get it from MSDN subscriber downloads. Or room 101. Ryan.

Same here mate, except PrivateFieldsAreLikeThat_ because my _GlobalVariablesAreLikeThisWhenIOccaisionalyUseThemInC++ Got rid of the m_ habit on my last C++ project and feel much better for it. Ryan.

Google can't provide me with a counter-example. So I guess you must be right :P. This http://orwell.ru/library/articles/antisemitism/e/e_antib.htm[^] makes good reading. peterchen wrote: This is what I'd call dangerous optimism. I would like to think that facism couldn't get a foothold in a democratic society thats not being ravaged by poverty and running street battles between extremist poilitcal grounps, European or not. 'Healthy scepticism' is closer to the mark. The rise of the new right on the continent is a little worrying. The facists in britain have very little, highly localised support in sink council estates. They use the percieved unequal distribution of state benifits to make the white resisdents jealous of their pakistani and banglideshi neighbors. Make of that what you will.

Surely that would have crossed the Atlantic on the Mayflower too? What happened in Germany was a result of economics and a vulnerable polical system. It would have been unthinkable in Britain or France, I can't comment on Scandinavia. Ryan

£60 quid for an installer. http://www.electronichealing.co.uk/products/computerclear.htm[^] Ryan.

http://www.lasersquadnemesis.com/[^]. Its by the Gollops, (Of Laser squad / Chaos / X-Com fame). Its really good. Play by email too, so you can get a few minutes work in between turns :) Ryan

'Why is the what that I am?'. Eliza loves those sorts of questions. Ryan.

W3C has been on this one too. http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-smil/[^] A nearly player: http://www.x-smiles.org/xsmiles_objectives.html[^] MS will get there first and have it widely deployed. Then everybody will start complaining that they are not following the 'standards'. XForm compatability in Infopath would be really handy though. Ryan

The wing command series was good, until Chris Roberts started wanting to be a film director.. The Kilrathi were a bit crap too, because they looked like the honey monster[^]. Ryan

Are you trying to access an STA from a different thread than the one that you created the object in?. In which case you are going to have to marshal a new proxy for the thread. Have a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/com/htm/cmf_a2c_88tp.asp[^] and http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/com/htm/cmf_a2c_1rjh.asp[^]. Remember to call CoInitialize in your thread before doing anything with COM too. Ryan

Not me, but my god sister at the age of 6 or so. In a church tea shop(Loudly). 'I'm pregnant and Jesus is the father, I can tell because my periods have stopped'. Ryan

'exploi-ta-tion on'. A pointed use of phonetics. Did my textbuffy add another on? Ryan

I make pretty heavy use of XML, including schema's and suchlike. The library I use is Arabica (http://sourceforge.net/projects/arabica/[^]). Its a thin wrapper for MSXML,libxml and expat, the interface is pleasant to work with, unlike the underlying libraries. Portable too. Ryan.

>why is the what that is i am?

ALICE: ""? Why?

Meh. Ryan

Does anybody know of a good tutorial / reference about the expression syntax for DataTable.Select. I am trying to craft a simple query that traverses a child table, the MSDN documenation is shockingly bad :mad: Ryan.

If you find one, let me know. Last time I checked, untrained speech recognition was next to useless. My baby is a telephony product, getting even partial transcriptions of converstations would be very useful. The chaps who used to to dragon dictate have a product that says it is capable, but they don't allow evaluation downloads. Or respond to mail containing test data.. Ryan.

Try a couple of black cardamon pods in sweet white tea. Ryan
