How many of you are allowed to listen to music at work?

I am allowed but I don't ... I love music and once that starts my programming mind stops :)

most successful companies are one trick ponies--they found one thing they are good at and ran with it.

You mean like Windows from Microsoft?

When I typed in "Debt" all results in the first page were from cities in USA, I typed in "Bank Balance" and all results were either from India or UK, I typed in "Finance" and still most of the cities were from India/UK plus a couple from USA ... I guess it could just mean choice of words but still "Finance" bridged the gap real close.

Logged in after a long time and a glance at the new look that CP has really caught my attention ... so it's not only the engineers but the designers also are top class at CP ... keep up the good work!

Good point ... I forgot that the Govt. takes care of her stuff

It depends on what kind of publicity (good / bad) you are talking about. ---------------------------------------------------------------- The next time you get bogged down by details, don't scramble for a way to figure out how to get every single one of them down pat.

I was wondering ... there have been so many disasters (natural or other) and I hear so many donations from so many places/people ... like M.Schumaker's $10 million towards 2004 Tsunami ... but how come I've never heard anything like that coming out from the Queen. Now don't get me wrong ... I am not saying that she SHOULD ... after all it's a donation. FYI ... I know that the William and Harry keep playing their part in such things.

The last project I just finished had about 500 hours in phone calls to other developers.

Now I don't know the size of your project nor do I know the total time spent on it but based on an average project timeline I would say 500 hours is way too much ... were you "let go" from the company for being this nit-picky?

Your initial post contradicts you being an adult and if your biz was so successful you would be a busy man with no time to respond to my post :)

I did ... Nish was being real polite but I guess you didn't get the point.

Your second comment hints at your own short-comings.

What shortcomings? Using words like "Negro" and "White Trash" mean I am not a hypocrite ... just because these words are not said in America it doesn't mean they don't call them that in other parts of the world.

Wow! ... tell me are you hiring a Journalist or a computer programmer? ... I mean how much do you talk? ... infact are you just full of it? Anyways ... lets say 1. A negro (American born and bred) from downsouth Starkville,MS wants to work with you OR heck 2. Some "White Trash" from Arkansas/Louisiana etc. (your typical American thorough bred again) wants to work for you ... would you still consider these candidates?... I wonder! If you do then you are a sucker for local labor and hate offshoring ... if you don't you are either a racist bastard or just plain nutjob with no "life":cool: Timing is Everything

:laugh: Timing is Everything

I know its been around a while but I just installed it today and tried it out ... it asked me to close Outlook and Firefox :^) ... being a huge fan of google technologies for a moment there I thought I did something wrong. Even when I tried uninstalling the program it asked me to close Firefox and Outlook ... this has been the most annoying software I've ever downloaded ... hard to believe it came from google. Timing is Everything

Thanks to all your responses

Darn it! ;P

Mrs. Nag What's a "Moaner"? Is it what I think it is:cool:

What are they? I've written a web application and tested in with manual inputs. Then my boss comes up and says we need to develop "Test Plans" for the system. I am guessing he's using a lingo that exists but am not familiar with it. Please let me know. Thanks!

Nerds ... ;P

Thanks!

Very Innovative! I wonder if it was also the other way round ... Hamburger sellers trying to code ;P
