Realized there was an interesting note about VS 2020 way back then in this forum message, but it won't open now.

When it was first introduced, the web had been described as a "living document". Translation: It keeps changing. So...links stop working. If there's anything I've learned, it's to save (locally) anything I want to hang on to. Then nobody can take it away from me.

Murphy would have to get to my backups as well.
As for Chuck Norris, well...I guess I'll hand him my backups.

This pops up sometimes. The official reason is that the database load is too high. Trying again later usually works.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

You're right. The OP's link didn't work for me a while ago, but it does now. Looks like an error page is needed, telling people to try again.

While reading in the lounge I got the following ad at the top of CP:
It's the greatest ever! So relevant. I was dreaming about a nice bucket of fried chicken and this totally relevant ad popped up.

How do those CP techs do this? Amazing technology that is surely infused with AI.
I am definitely going to start a Fried Chicken Franchise (that isn't a franchise)! I know this is a sign.

The ads are targeted at your browsing history.
Be glad it picked your "bucket list" this time - one different letter and the ads would be ... um ...

That makes sense.
I've been searching "kripsy chicken" and "krunchy fried" all day. well, not just all day, all week.
EDIT
DAng! forgot this Computer-related joke:
Also, I've recently written an algorithm that does a "shortest distance to fried chicken". It's an app so you can just get in your car and it tells you where to go.
Actually, that app would probably make Billions!! Maybe even hundreds of thousands.

I wish I could've been in that class! I was busy building a web site for this guy: Super Chicken - Wikipedia[^]

Had you been searching for fish & chips shops, you would have been redirected to codproject.com.

I was searching expert ways to change my gender and found myself being directed to ExpertsExchange.com. Weird... what does programming have to do with gender reassignment!?

Could have been worse: TheRapistFinder.com gets busy too...

AI. Big data. It's all a scam to sell snake oil to marketers (so, it all cancels itself out?).
I don't know about you, but all it means is that I get ads for something I just bought. After the fact. Which means I'm no longer looking for that item.

I'd noticed that with Flamazon and FleaBay myself.

Taking a less humorous look at the ad you can possibly earn $50k per year. This seems very little for the outlay for premises, 60 hours weeks and all the risk a franchise involves.

I agree. They obviously don't understand marketing. They should've said, "Earn Billions$* like Edwin J. of Albuquerque, NM."
*results not typical
I really do think you're right though. 50K for all that work does not sound good.

The CP ad technology can definitely read your mind any time it wants to so it can post an appropriate ad. I make all my major life decisions entirely based upon those ads now.
