So, I saw these paragraphs in that article: Article said: In a statement it added: "We didn't trust the British government to properly seize the Gaddafi regime's corrupt assets, so we took matters into our own hands. "In the meantime we want to welcome refugees from the conflict in Libya and those fleeing tyranny and oppression across the world. "We stand in solidarity with the Libyan people." Is this a common way of quoting? I've seen it a few times. A quote mark is placed at the beginning of a paragraph, but not at the end. Except, the final paragraph does have an ending quote. My guess is that they just forgot the ending quotes, but I've seen this so often I'm thinking it may be a valid way of quoting (i.e., if the quote continues to another paragraph, don't use a closing quote). Anybody know if this is a valid way to quote, or if there are just a lot of people who forget to close their quotes? [WikiLeaks Cablegate Cables]

Nice one - will add you shortly :) C# has already designed away most of the tedium of C++.

My laptop came with McAfee, which I uninstalled immediately because it was so invasive. Then I installed Norton 2010, because I had a free copy lying around, and never had any problems at all, until the license expired. I found Norton 2010 to be way nicer than previous Nortons though.

Personally I'm happy coding in either as long as I'm being paid but for me....... 1. I find it much easier to create bugs in VB that I can't so easily make in C# 2. If I need to 'borrow' some code courtesy of Google/ go through an MVC tutorial etc (why re-invent the wheel ?) then what I find is more likely to be in C#. Re-writing it in VB isn't that hard but it does slow things down. 3. A lot of the tools available to help you write better code more quickly only seem to work fully with C# (throw them a bit of VB and it might work but you won't get all the features you had if it was C#). Yes I know I arguably shouldn't need any of these at all but the end result is I'm confident I can produce better bug resistant code more quickly in C# than I can in VB and that's what I'm getting paid for. Mostly I don't get a choice of language (existing VB projects and manager preference if there's a chance he'll have to work on it) but when I do it's C# and the projects always seems to go better.

Yeah, we've had "dedicated" employees coming in while they are sick so that they can make the rest of us sick X| There seems to be plenty sickness going around. :( Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

I recall not so long ago (a month maybe) I spotted a box of 6 packs of Maryland Cookies at £6 per box. Individually I could buy them for 47p per pack. Hummmm, makes you wounder about the people they have working for them, in the pricing dept. By the way, I didn't mention that purchased a game today from Tesco called Fruity Bugs which is a clone of Wiggly Worms. Was £10 reduced to £5. When I went through the check-out......99p :-D Steve Jowett ------------------------- Real Programmers don't need comments -- the code is obvious.
