This is classic.... http://damnyouautocorrect.com/3930/click-the-easy-button/ :laugh: :laugh:

Destroying productivity wherever I go...

Also: http://damnyouautocorrect.com/ I literally cried with laughter when one of my mates sent me that this morning....

Top marks DD! A great site for linguistic loopiness of that sort is Engrish; http://www.engrish.com/

And we have - for the moment - this lad; http://www.topnews.in/files/Brian-Cowen004.jpg I particularly like this shot... http://cache3.asset-cache.net/xc/97798201.jpg?v=1&c=IWSAsset&k=2&d=77BFBA49EF878921A343B2C87A49D8F597BB53E4D3DF281840FF369A5929002262301C3B15CD6503E30A760B0D811297

I am SO moving to Eastern Europe... Wall Street Journal I shudder to think what the results would be if Mary Harney were to attempt a similar stunt... http://savestlukes.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/mary_harney_aaa_00301.jpg I deplore the mingingness of Irish politicos. X| X|

Also try: TFS 2005 mixed with VS2010. Just trying to merge my updates with the main dev trunk, and every time I get latest it says "Not enough quota to complete this operation" and boom! :mad::mad:

Righty, so it's either stick with my ancient but still functional Nokia, or get a smartphone of some description and live with the shorter battery life. Gadzooks. Nah, dammit. I need a new toy. I think I'll go for the HTC Desire, not the HD one. I think it'th very thexy.

I don't really need a physical keyboard, I'm used to an iPhone. just want a new toy, really, but with decent battery life, so I think the HD might be just a bit too big and chunky. The Samsung Galaxy S is a contender, but it just looks like they've tried to copy the design of the iPhone, which is not what I want. I'm looking for something just a bit different.

I'm sure this is probably a bit of a worn-out topic for this forum, but I'm going to go and get myself an Android phone today. What's the current best-of breed, in the opinion of my fellow CPians? Anyone have any success/horror stories to tell me before I part with my hard-earned cash?

True, and normally I desist, I mean I own an iPhone and I think it's a cool piece of kit. But that is way over the top and can't be justified on any grounds as far as I am concerned.

That's not what they would be doing. They would be allowing someone who is interested in Android to publish a magazine on Android which would be used by consumers of their own product. I mean, FFS! It's ludicrous. What you're saying is analogous to saying that Microsoft should feel OK about blocking Internet Explorer users from accessing apple.com using their browser because then they would be "advertising a rival product". Nuh-uh. Not buying that argument.

http://www.reghardware.com/2010/11/29/apple_vs_android_on_ipad/ Yeah, Apple, you're so "nice" and "friendly" with your roundy corners and funky ads. I think this is unacceptable. It's taking things too far by half.

Agreed. I love the sound of the word "febrile" though. It sounds... bouncy, as opposed to "feverish" which sounds diseased. Of course, it's all aesthetics.

You could call it a hobby of mine. I do speak well. I consider it no more than good manners to do so, given that I regularly interact with people who speak several languages with varying degrees of facility, (when many of my compatriots can't not talk the one lingo too goodly) and who have learned what I would consider to be decent "School English" in order to interact with the likes of little old monolingual me. Dublin slang is met with blank stares and besides, it is my opportunity to open the taps, as it were, on the fecund faucet of filigree verbiage I hold within (although, Alliteration I save for CodeProject). Utterances of this sort visited upon Irish people generally elicit perplexed frowns and exhortations to "talk proper, wouldya". Have you ever read P.G. Wodehouse? Some of his prose made me actually put the book down and take a deep breath of joy that I was lucky enough to read it. That man was a demigod of deft dialogue.

Ah. Yes. Quite. (backs away sheepishly)

Well it's not Narnia mate, it doesn't snow ALL the time in Winter. My point is that when it does, the Swiss simply shrug their shoulders and break out the snow tyres. Trains run effortlessly on time unless some absolute calamity befalls them. It's actually a little eerie.

Mel, (I don't know if you are male of female - a genderless name)

That question I shall leave open, the better to lend full impetus to the thrust of your febrile imaginings. I am disquieted by your seeming association of honey with wine, and sweetness with flowers. Surely the converse association applies, when you think about it. Furthermore, it has hitherto been my experience that one drinks wine with one's mouth, excepting of course the sad occasion of a bizarre disfigurement arising from a disagreement with an irate sawfish, or some other fanged fauna of a feisty disposition. You, sir, are mixing metaphors. Maliciously, I suspect.

Verily. But, witness! http://www.rte.ie/news/2010/1201/flights_dublinairport.html It's armageddon! As in arm-a-geddon-outta-here.... Loads of worried-looking mothers on the road this morning, sliding around with menageries of mewling offspring in the back seat, sawing frantically at the steering wheel as they skittishly see-sawed down the street towards the school gates. It was like something out of a prank movie. I longed for a camcorder with which to upload the evidence of the melee to YouTube. I love snow. Particularly in Ireland. I'm just back recently from a stint in Switzerland, and there, of course, everything just runs like, well, like a Swiss watch. Snow or no snow. Here, it's complete bedlam.
