Just like Concorde!
It can't fly either...

Indeed a sad story. Just last night I watched a doco that examined the final flight and the subsequent demise of the Concorde fleet. Doesn't matter how many times I watch it - I still get left with a profound sense of loss for both the individual families involved and to the UK herself.
But on a cheerier note, your pic has reminded me of the spitfire paperplanes I used to make with grandpa from brown-paper grocery bags as a child. Happy, happy days. (tearfully whispers) thanks.

Hehe he he ha ha ha! Well said, kind sir. That was precisely the idea I'd been turning over in my head 1/2 an hour ago and felt unable to communicate respectfully. +10

What kind of a clever dll throws this kind of an exception:
"Error: the operation completed successfully"

On internet pages like "40-funny-error-messages-youve-never-seen-before" it's amusing...
but' it could be something that disturbs the fineness of the coffee break (Coffee break: those 8 hours that I take to make my 0.5 hours of coding efficient).

Good code requires a clear head! Well, not always, I do find my coding often follows this graph[^].

Any DLL that calls GetLastError() without first checking whether the operation succeeded or failed.

Some posted an obscenity laced response to an article I wrote. I would like to A. have the post removed, and B. report the user. I haven't been able to find a way to do either. What is the procedure?

|
|
|
Use the little red arrow at bottom right of the message and the user's profile page.

Get over it.

I recently one voted someone for a TERRIBLE article, and he decided to start 1 voting my articles. I tried talking him off the ledge, if he keeps going, I may report him, but overall, you're going to get morons from time to time, if your article is appreciated, the good votes will outweigh the bad, and the message will speak for itself as to the character of the person who posted it.

It's just that, after all my years at CP, I've never had anyone go to the lengths that I felt the need to report. It came as kind of a relief, actually: I was starting to think I wasn't good enough to merit even a troll's time.

*grin* It IS frustrating when you put a lot of time in to something. I talked my guy off the ledge, he seems calmer now.

Well, the person in question seems to have created an account just to berate me. Instead of talking him down from the ledge, a push seemed more appropriate.

*grin* my guy has 150+ articles ( although they are essentially ads for his business ), so he had more of a vested interest to play nice in the end

This is why people automatically assume that you are a moron when you say you listen to metal.

I'll take that as a compliment.

If you enjoy satire and aren't a big fan of metal (or even if you are), I encourage you to find episodes of Comedy Central's Adult Swim's Metalocalypse.
Incidently, General Crozier is voiced by Mark Hamill, aka the actor that played Luke Skywalker.
