I think it's a Space Invader: looks like an "8" with the bottom horizontal missing to me.

Yeah it should be the symbol for MYANMAR SHAN DIGIT NINE[^]

An alternative, if it isn't rendering correctly, could be:

I suppose visibility depends on whether your font is overridden or your browser is ignoring UTF-8 character set?

The symbols on the left and right are curtains and the second symbol is a fat lady singing (third symbol) and the fourth symbol is the music Big Grin | :-D

But they still can't write it correctly XD

Rules for the FOSW ![^]

if(this.signature != "")
{
    MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
    MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

Well, I thought of something... Cost me about an hour of my life I'll never get back.
And I'll be at work too tomorrow, so I can't do this a lot anyway.

Good for you - it's not my thing. "Beer! Beer! Beer!" or "I'm dying!, I'm dying!" for half an hour, then the fat lady warbles a lot instead of holding the note... Laugh | :laugh:

So I've been sick at home for two days and today I'm feeling better, so I decided to work from home.
Need to connect to the office using VPN, no problem as I've got it set up.

I'm using Windows 8.1.
I click on the Network icon in the lower right part of the start bar.
I get this bar on the right side of the screen with all my connections (the Network center shortcut or something).
I click on my VPN, log in, and fail.
The bar now shows an error message, there is no "Ok", "Cancel", or "Back" button.
Closing and opening the bar doesn't get rid of the error message.
Nothing I do removes the error message.
The message is "Error connecting to VPN", it doesn't say how I should get rid of the error message.
I'd like to try and login again, but that's pretty hard with the error message in the way.
Looking on the internet, but I couldn't find anything.

Anyone an idea how to get rid of the error message (other than restarting the computer)?

Use the task manager to terminate the responsible process.

The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

Sander Rossel12-Jan-16 23:24

12-Jan-16 23:24

Sure... So which process is it?
I have no "Networks" or "Big blue bar on the right side of the screen" process Sigh | :sigh:

To identify and stop a process:

Download yourself a copy of Process explorer.
You can then drag and drop the target shaped icon, within process explorer, onto the window displaying the error message.
Process explorer will highlight the process that the target icon was dropped onto.
It's then as simple as right clicking on the highlighted line in process explorer and selecting Kill Process.
It also has a handy feature where you can type the name of a locked file into the Find menu option and it will show you which process has the file locked.

Good idea. A look at the properties of the processes listed in the task manager usually also helps.
